Genasi
Much like the other planetouched, Genasi carry with them the blood of an otherworldly creature. In this case, though, it is a creature of one of the elemental planes: Djinn, Efreeti, Tritons, etc.
- Appearance
- No two air genasi look the same. Some will have light blue or pale white skin; others have similarly colored hair. Some of them even have a slight breeze following them wherever they go, or make a whooshing sound when moving suddenly. Their traits tend to be somewhat subtle, so feel free to improvise.
- Alignment
- Genasi have no particular alignment tendencies.
- Language
- Genasi speak Common.
- Attitude
- Air Genasi are typically proud of their heritage. They are also afflicted with wanderlust, typically wanting to go where the wind leads them. They have a tendency to choose a duelist-style of fighting over the more power-oriented, battleaxe wielding style.
Racial Traits
- Genasi are level +1 characters - this means that a Genasi with one class level is treated as a second level character.

- Medium Size: Genasi are medium sized. They have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Genasi base speed is 30 feet.
- +1 racial bonus to saving throws against all air spells and effects. This bonus increases by +1 for every five class levels the character obtains.
