Elemental Touched

Elemental Touched beings have been blessed, or cursed, by powerful beings of the elemental plane. The physical changes can vary from slight to noticeable: An Earth Touched Dwarf may have shale like protrusions on their face or arms, or a Flame Touched Elf could have brilliant red hair. Depending on who you interact with this can be seen as a blessing, a curse, or nothing more than a harmless oddity.
