Elgin Traits
Your character's natural affinity with the element of earth manifests in traits they share in common with all other Elgin.

'Ability Score Increase. 'Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

'Age. 'An Elgin reaches adulthood in their late teens and lives less than a century.

'Alignment. 'With Elgin society's strong focus on traditions and beliefs they have held for hundreds of years most Elgin tend toward lawful alignments. Though both good and evil can be found among them.

'Size. 'Because they have the diluted blood of giants, Elgin are taller than the other Human races. The shortest among them stand over 6 feet and the tallest stand near 8 feet, and they range from 200-320 lbs.

'Speed. 'Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Sure Footed. You and your mount, if you are riding one, ignore difficult terrain.

'Good With Animals. 'You have proficiency in Animal Handling.

'Earth Chant. 'As a bonus action you can start a chant to call on the strength of your ancestors once per long rest. For the one minute duration your base movement speed is halved, you reduce forced movement effects by 5 feet, your weight is doubled, and you create difficult terrain around you in a 5 foot radius. Earth Chant also affects your mount if you are riding one. For each Elgin also using their Earth Chant within 5 feet, your aura of difficult terrain increases by 5 feet, and forced movement effects on you are reduced by 5 feet. All Elgin participating in the Earth Chant share the same initiative, determined by the lowest initiative in the group.
