Your body flows with the power of another plane, hardening it against certain forms of damage. With this new strength, comes weakness from other elements that are more piercing than ever. Choosing an Elemental Alignment gives you resistance in a specific damage type, but you suffer a vulnerability stated in the Alignment feature.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Athletics, Nature, Stealth, or Survival
- Languages: Choose one exotic language (Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon)
- Equipment: An Explorer's Pack, a set of common clothes, and one artisan's tools set.
