# Genasi Reborn

Since the plains are very close to the Overworld in Fydaill, it is no surprise that they have a strong influence in the Material realm. Long ago, the inhabitants of these planes mingled with explorers or unfortunate lost souls, and these bloodlines eventually came to be known as Genasi, the children of the elements.

Most Genasi have only small identifying features that set them apart from humans or elves, like very distinct hair colors or unnatural skin tones.

As an adventurer however, your innate primordial power has been awoken and manifests in a way unique to your elemental forebears.

### Genasi Traits

All Genasi share the following traits:

**Ability Score Increase.** An ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another ability score of your choice increases by 1.

**Age.** Genasi mature at about the same rate as humans and reach adulthood in their late teens. They live somewhat longer than humans do, up to 120 years.

**Size.** Genasi are as varied as their mortal parents but are generally built like humans, standing anywhere from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

**Languages.** You can speak, read, and write Common and Primordial. Primordial is a guttural language, filled with harsh syllables and hard consonants.

**Subrace.** Four subraces of Genasi are known across Fydaill. Chooose one of the following:

#### Air Genasi

Air genasi typically have very light skin, hair or and eyes, often with faint shades of blue or yellow mixed in. A slight breeze accompanies them, tousling the hair and stirring the clothing. They are the rarest of the four Genasi, seeing as the air elementals don't often come down from their boundless sky above the clouds and have been known to avoid contact with mortals.

As an Air Genasi, you have the following traits:

**Lighning Resistance.** You have resistance to lightning damage.

**Unending Breath.** You can hold your breath indefinitely while you're not incapacitated.

**Mingle with the Wind.** You know the *gust* cantrip. Additionally, you can cast the *levitate* spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a short or long rest. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is your choice of Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.

#### Earth Genasi

Elemental earth manifests differently from one individual to the next. Some earth genasi always have bits of dust falling from their bodies and mud clinging to their clothes, never getting clean no matter how often they bathe. Others have rigid, spiky hair or gemstones for eyes. Their skintones vary greatly, from light tan over brown to shades of grey.

Earth Genasi tend to be more frequently seen thanks to Dwarves digging their tunnesl through the Mountainous Expanses and stumbling upon earth elementals.

As an Earth Genasi, you have the following traits:

**Poison Resistance.** You have resistance to poison damage.

**Earth Walk.** You can move across difficult terrain made of earth or stone without expending extra movement.

**Tectonics.** You know the *mold earth* cantrip. Additionally, you can cast the *earth tremor* spell once with this trait, requiring no material components. You can also cast the *armor of agathys* spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, but it deals your choice of bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage instead of cold damage. You regain the ability to cast both spells this way when you finish a short or long rest. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is your choice of Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.

#### Fire Genasi

The hair and eyes of Fire Genasi might occasionally flicker like ember or give of a faint smoke, with colors of red orange and smokey grey. Their skin is always slightly warm to the touch and ranges in color from normal human tones over hues of dark red to charred grey and black.

Fire Genasi are at home in the Golden Sea, tracing their ancestry to the first caravaneers to try and cross the great desert, who accepted the help of the resident elementals to find their way unharmed.

As a Fire Genasi, you have the following traits:

**Fire Resistance.** You have resistance to fire damage.

**Desert Dweller.** You are acclimated to high temperatures.

**Heated Argument.** You know the *produce flame* cantrip. Additionally, you can cast the *guiding bolt*  and *divine favor* spells once each with this trait, requiring no material components, but they deal fire damage instead of radiant damage. You regain the ability to cast both spells this way when you finish a short or long rest. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is your choice of Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.

#### Water Genasi

Most water genasi look as if they just finished bathing, with beads of moisture collecting on their skin and hair. They smell of fresh rain and clean water. Light blue or green skin tones are very common, with their hair usually being in the same range, but for some, it can get dark, almost to black. A water genasi's hair might float freely, swaying and waving as if underwater. Some have voices with undertones reminiscent of whale song or trickling streams.

They tend to live close to the coasts of Fydaill, but they can also make their homes underwater, originally hailing from The Dephts, and being descendents from sailors and fishermen, looking to the elementals for guidance and a good haul.

As a Water Genasi, you have the following traits:

**Acid Resistance.** You have resistance to acid damage.

**Amphibious.** You can breathe air and water.

**Swim.** You have a swimming speed of 30 feet.

**Watery Refraction** You know the *shape water* cantrip. Additionally, you can cast the *blur* spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a short or long rest. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is your choice of Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.
