d100 Elf Clan Missions

I was a teen elf fan and still like them in D&D and was a bit sad when i started ad&d that elves were not a class. So obviously this was the start of my whole homebrew system.

Elves suit subtypes with colourful varieties with different spells and looks. I went back to my dwarf post and added a table for a more career-based dwarf table as a type option I think I prefer for them. I suggest trying both approaches with elves also and will do so here. Possibly starting elf followers might include goblin or human servants.

I consider certain elves will have additional abilities if they are not earthborn but in return hate iron and are vulnerable to planar magic like banishment.

Elves in my game are a class but can be reskinned a bit and you could change your class in my game and specialise in a different branch of magic. Oaths can also expand this. In my SF games with the same engine, they are Eloi/Eldren modified for space long-term space travel.

My changeling class has overlaps with elves a bit - they are spirit folk who look like elves but can become human or some other form related to species or plant, fungus, animal, faerie or planar being.
