Frostfell Elf

The Frostfell Elves

These reclusive Elves live in Northern Pelosia, and The Northern Wastes, within high mountainous or arctic regions, areas that are deep with snow through most of the year or locked in permafrost.   They are tenacious survivors, accustomed to living off the land and surviving on the slim bounty of their cold home.   Frostfell Elves have ivory skin, often tinted blue in varying degrees. Hair colour is usually stark white or pale blonde, though about one in ten have hair that is a deep blue-black colour. They commonly have eyes of blue or green, ranging from pale shades that appear almost white to deep, rich hues.    Many of the male Elves grow full beards to protect their faces from the harsh environment, they range from white, blonde, and black, to some having a deep blue-black colour.

Ice Crafting:

You can magically form an item from nearby water, ice, or snow. The crafting takes 1 MINUTE, and you can form any Nonmagical object without moving parts weighing up to 10 POUNDS.   Though made of ice, the object functions as a similar item made of standard materials. The object has an AC 13, HIT POINTS equal to a resilient object of appropriate size, and is IMMUNE to COLD DAMAGE but vulnerable to FIRE DAMAGE. If the ambient temperature is warmer than freezing, the object lasts 1 MINUTE. As long as the ambient temperature remains at freezing or colder, the object lasts for 24 HOURS or until destroyed. Once you have crafted an object using this trait, you can't do so again until you have completed a SHORT or LONG REST.
