Spellburnt Elf (5e Subrace)

Elf Subrace

Elves are well known for being able to live just about anywhere, but what happens when a group of elves decides to take camp in a desert fueled by wild magic? Surprisingly, the answer is not as mystical as you would imagine. Instead, spellburnt elves are by all measures tall, dark, and brutal. With skin covered in deep desert burns and a stature challenging orcs, certain elves has been horribly shifted by a magical force, leaving behind their minds and fey ancestry in return for a large hunchback and huge power.
