Homebrew Cloud Dwarf Species Details
Cloud dwarves are both taller and slighter of build than their terrestrial kin reaching nearly five and a half feet in height. With light blue skin, white hair, and silvery eyes, they are also distinct in appearance.
Still adept at masonry and the forging of armor and weapons, cloud dwarves are more known for their monastic tradition and the training of monks and war priests.
They are resistant to damage by cold and can cast the Misty Step spell once per long rest. They lack the Stonecunning ability inate in other dwarf species.
