Message: <blockquote data-quote="Redthistle" data-source="post: 6745488" data-attributes="member: 6778305">I really like your work on converting Al Qadim to 5e. The only change I've made for my home-world campaign is to bring Gen Servant a little more in line with the other 5e warlock patronage Expanded Spell lists. Since the spells granted will differ from Noble Genie to Noble Genie, like you, I have not specified the specific spells. @L1. Gen Servant. Your Noble Genie patron teaches you the find familiar spell (which doesn't count against your number of spells known) and you can cast it as a ritual. The Noble Genie grants you a gen, a small elemental familiar who helps council you about genie kind and provides you with spells. Your gen familiar resembles a tiny degenerate version of the kind of genie your patron is (dao, djinn, efreet, or marid); these are called daolanin, djinnling, efreetikin, and maridan respectively. Its statistics can be approximated using a Mephit of the appropriate type: Dust mephit for daolanin, smoke or steam mephit for djinnling, magma mephit for efreetikin, and mud or ice mephit for maridan. Gen tend to be Neutral in alignment, though they often take on the alignment of their master.Sha’ir Variant Expanded Spell ListAny time you witness or research a spell of a level you can cast, as a bonus action you can send your gen familiar to retrieve the spell for you. How it achieves this is up to the gen (and the terms you set out for it), but at your next short rest your gen returns to you with the spell which you may add to the warlock spell list for you. Keep track of how many spells your gen retrieves over your adventuring career. The maximum number of retrieved spells you may have is equal to your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus, reflecting the limit of your gen's abilities. Ten of these spells can be used to fill the Sha’ir Expanded Spell List per level as granted by other Patrons (2 each at Warlock levels 1 through 9). At 1st level, you may select one cantrip instead of a spell, as long as it is appropriate to your Noble Genie’s elemental nature. If you wish to send your gen to retrieve further spells, you must sacrifice one of the spells you already know to the gen which it uses as a bargaining tool in its elemental negotiations for the new spell you seek._________________________________________________________Example of an efreetikin familiar adapted from the magma mephit:Efreetikin FamiliarSmall elemental, neutralArmor Class 11Hit Points 22 (5d6 + 1)Speed 30 ft., fly 30 ft.   STR      DEX       CON      INT     WIS         CHA  8 (-1)  12 (+1)  12 (+1)  7 (-2)  10 (+0)  10 (+0) ________________________________________________Skills Stealth +3Damage Vulnerabilities coldDamage Immunities fire, poisonCondition Immunities poisonedSenses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10Languages Ignan, Terran (dialects of Primordial)Challenge 1/2 (100 XP)_________________________________________________Death Burst.
