Ancient Dwarf

Dwarves in the past were made of stone or metals, and this led to two distinct appearances. Those who could trace their lineage to stone had skin that shone like minerals and was veined like marble, and the gemstone used in their creation grew on their heads like hair. Those who were instead born from metals had a metallic luster and shine to their skin, and molten metal flowed from their scalp and their lower jaw instead of hair.

Dwarven Toughness. Your Hit Point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level.

Spellforger. When you cast a spell, you ignore all Material components that have no cost specified in the spell, and the cost of any Material components specified is halved for you. Additionally, as a Help action, you can cause another creature to benefit from this trait for the next spell with Material components they cast for the next minute. You can use this action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
