---

Dwarf

Two Kinds of Dwarf

---

Dwarves in the land of Roil are a much more diverse lot than the dwarves of old. While many dwarves are still raised in a “traditional dwarven home”, with each generation there are more and more who are raised within the Steel Cities outside of their own culture.

A great divide has sprung up within the Dwarves. Those who live nearest the Roil tend towards a traditional viewpoint on the Dwarf race, “Proper Dwarven” they call themselves. This group includes both modern Dwarves who have kept tradition and Dwarves from under the mountain, known by the others as the “Deep Dwarves”. Dwarves in the Steel cities often do all they can to fit in, treating “Being Dwarvish” as more of a cultural or religious idiosyncrasy than as who they are.

---

Traditional Dwarves are a type R race, while Non-Traditional Dwarves are type E.

Dwarf Traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution Score increases by 1. Choose Strength or Wisdom Score, which increases by 1.

Tradition. You must choose a Traditional or Nontraditional upbringing.

• For Nontraditional Dwarves this can be Border Bum or Wire blooded.

Age. Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they’re considered young until they reach the age of 35. On average, they live about 150 years. Dwarves with the Mana blooded background tend to live longer, about 200 years.

Alignment. Traditional Dwarves tend to be lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They tend toward good as well, with a strong sense of fair play and a belief that everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a just order. Nontraditional Dwarves do not tend towards any specific alignment.

Elf

Holding on or letting go

---

Elves are perhaps the race who have taken the divided nature of their world the hardest. A race which has throughout history embraced nature has been forced to react to a world where it sometimes seems nature is attacking them, and other times seems as if nature is being erased.

Elves have developed into two distinct races. Those who lived through the Time Bereft no longer acknowledge themselves as “Elves”, but are simply “elf-blooded”, for they lost much of themselves in their departure from magic and in the long years without. The other group of Elves however, are a mystery to all, including themselves.

The Elves of the Roil never lived through the time Bereft. The oldest among them remember the time of magic, and they remember the Days of First Blood. To these elves however, the red light in the sky did not fade away as it did for the rest… instead the red light concentrated itself, leeching out of the sky into a solid column of magenta light… the first roil.

The Elf-blooded are a type E race, while the Elves of the Roil are a type R race.

Elf-blooded traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score and Charisma score increase by 1, and one other ability scores of your choice increases by 1.

Background Feat. You gain 1 Background Feat of your choice. This can be Border bum or Wire Blooded.

Age. Elf Blooded mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live slightly longer than humans, however, sometimes reaching 130 years.

Alignment. Elf Blooded share the chaotic bent of their elven heritage. They value both personal freedom and creative expression, demonstrating neither love of leaders nor desire for followers. They chafe at rules, resent others’ demands, and sometimes prove unreliable, or at least unpredictable.

Size. Elf Blooded are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Skill Versatility. You gain proficiency in three skills of your choice.

Nature of Steel. The Elf blooded have embraced the technological aspect of the world, accepting it as the new natural order. Elf blooded heal at twice the normal rate when they spend 24 hours resting within a Steel City or other technological place.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and three extra languages of your choice.

Elf of the Roil traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Charisma increases by 2.

Background Feat. You gain 1 Background Feat of your choice. This can be Mana blooded or Border bum. Roil Elves who choose the Mana Blooded background also gain the Eyes of Magic racial feat.

Age. Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claim adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 900 or more years old.

Alignment. Elves love freedom , variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. The drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. D row are more often evil than not.

Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Vision. You possess one of two types of special vision. These vision types are innately tied to the magic of the roil, and as such, cannot be used by an elf who has spent more than 7 days continuously within one of the Steel Cities, or other highly technological place. After being dampened by time in the technological world, these abilities take 24 hours to return.

Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Roil Vision. Some elves who passed through the roil have found their vision altered. They have lost their ability to see without light, but have found that if they concentrate, they are able to see the flow of the roil, and how it touches all things. Roil sight takes 1 full round and a concentration check (DC 15 - class level + any damage taken in last round). Once activated you gain the benefits of Blightsight and can see magic as if you had cast a detect magic spell. A new concentration check is required each round to maintain this effect.

Keen Senses. You have expertise in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep. Because of your ties to the fey, you do not do well within the Steel Cities. After spending 7 days in the Steel cities, elves begin to suffer ill effects as per the table below. Spending 24 hours outside the technological centers will reset this counter.

Steel Curse

Days	Effect
8-14	1 x (number of days spent - 7) damage per day
15-30	1d6 x (number of days spent / 7) damage per day
31+	6d6 damage per day

You are able to mitigate the effect of the Steel Cities by spending time meditating in a sun lit natural garden of at least 30 feet diameter. Each full uninterupted hour spent meditating in such a way subtracts 1 from the day count when calculating the steel curse for the following day.

Trance. Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Magic Blood & Tech Bane. You are considered to be 1 level higher when determining how many spells per day you are able to cast and when determining the difficulty to resist your spells.

You cannot start out with the Technical Proficiency feat or any feat with the [Tech] descriptor. Technological items cause damage to elves who attempt to use them. (Note, an elf can carry technological items without harm, but cannot use them without harm).

If you gain the Technical Proficiency feat you begin to break your tie to the magic of the world. Your elven vision will begin to fade, you immediately lose the additional level benefits from Magic Blood, and your trace will begin to require more time to allow you to feel rested (eventually requiring 8 hours), however technological items will no longer harm you, and damage taken from Fey ancestry is halved. This damage then halves again for each level gained after gaining Technical Proficiency, to a minimum of 1 damage.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar.

Gnome

The most inventive of inventors.

---

Gnomes have managed to fit right into the new world view of the 2nd age, but many are not transitioning well back to the return of magic. Many gnomes can be found in highly technical roles, such as manufacturing, or even office management.

Gnome Traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2.

Background Feat. You gain 1 Background Feat and 1 other feat of your choice.

Age. Gnomes mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 40. They can live 350 to almost 500 years.

Alignment. Gnomes are most often good. Those who tend toward law are sages, engineers, researchers, scholars, investigators, or inventors. Those who tend toward chaos are minstrels, tricksters, wanderers, or fanciful jewelers. Gnomes are good-hearted, and even the tricksters among them are more playful than vicious.

Size. Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

Darkvision. Accustomed to life underground, whether caves or man-made tunnels, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Gnome Cunning. You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom , and Charisma saving throws against magic. If you have the Technical Proficiency feat, you also gain advantage on similar roles regarding technology.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnomish. The Gnomish language, which uses the Dwarvish script, is renowned for its technical treatises and its catalogs of knowledge about the natural world.

The Strongest Backs Around

---

Natural Athlete. You have proficiency in the Athletics skill, and have advantage on any check relating to a feat of strength.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice.

Human

Masters of their own destiny

When magic failed and other races faltered, humanity adapted. When magic returned and other races were astounded, humanity got on with things.

Orckin

Civilised, not civil.

---

The departure of magic and the coming of technology changed the orc perhaps more deeply than any of the other races. No longer isolated by magic, and no longer bound by the tribal shamans who had led them for so long, many orc made their way towards the human lands, where there strong backs were in dire need by humans more used to using magic to lift things. Over time, the orcs began to mingle and intermarry with humans, and by the dawn of the third age, the orckin, while still on average taller and wider than most humans, are no longer the hulking brutes of the past.

Natural Weapons

Beginning at 1st level, you are considered proficeny with unarmed attacks, and can perform unlarmed melee attacks that deal 1d8 damage based on your elemental type OR 1d4 each of your two types if you are a para or quasi genasi.

Mutable form

Beginning at 2nd level, your form is composed of more elemental particles than flesh, and is not wholly solid. As a reaction you are able to discorperate yourself into an incorporeal swirling mass of your elements. Magical items travel with you but mundane items drop away and are left behind unless you succeed a concentration check (DC=15) to keep them with you.

While in this form you gain the abilities listed below:

Mutable Traits

• Damage Immunity: All Non-Magical Weapons
• Damage Resistance: All Damage
• You cannot attack or cast spells
• All attacks against you gain disadvantage
• Any creature that ends its turn occupying the same space as you takes damage from your elements as noted in the table "Elemental Damage by Level"

While incorporeal, you also possess a fly speed equal to your movement speed.

You can mantain an incorporeal form for 1 round per point of constitution modifer without requiring any checks. After these rounds have elapsed, you must make a Constitution check (DC 10 + number of rounds incorporeal) or become solid again.

Improved Natural Weapons

Beginning at 3rd level, your unarmed attacks deal 1d12 damage based on your elemental type OR 1d6 each of your two types if you are a para or quasi genasi. Further, you are able to channel your energy to instead add 1d6 (or 2d3) elemental damage to any melee weapon you are proficient with.

Improved Mutable form

From 3rd level, you are able to use your mutable form to do more than just become intangeble. You can instead choose to shape your form to become one size catagory larger or smaller. This change functions as the Enlarge/Reduce spell. Additionally, while enlarged you gain +2 strength and while reduced you gain +2 dexterity.

You can mantain this altered form for 1 round plus 1 additional round per point of constitution modifer without requiring any checks. After these rounds have elapsed, you must make a Constitution check (DC 10 + number of rounds altered) or revert to your normal apparance.

Once you revert, you cannot change your form again until you have taken a short rest.

When you reach 4th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Elemental Awakening

Upon reaching 5th level, you experience an elemental awakening. Whenever you use your Mutable form or Improved Mutable form, you can maintain the ability for an additional number of rounds equal to your proficency modifier before you are required to make concentration checks.

Additionally, you gain advantage on all concentration checks to mantain your Mutable form or Improved Mutable form.
