[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6530399, member: 2067"] I whipped up a bunch of genasi as a sub-race/sub-races of planetouched [URL="http://daedaluswing.wikidot.com/planetouched#toc10"]in my Planescape conversion[/URL], which basically took the 5e tiefling template and applied it to a bunch of stuff. If I were to do them as 4 (or more) subraces of a single Genasi race, I'd probably make their abilities a little more distinct than spells. Maybe something like... [INDENT][SIZE=4][FONT=Century Gothic][U]Genasi[/U][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Century Gothic] [U]Wind Duke or Duchess[/U] [I][B]Ability Score Increase[/B][/I][B][/B]: +2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence [I][B]Mingling with the Wind[/B][/I][B][/B]: An air genasi never takes falling damage. Once per day, an air genasi can fly up to their speed during their movement. [U]Stone Prince or Princess[/U] [I][B]Ability Score Increase[/B][/I][B][/B]: +2 Strength, +1 Constitution [I][B]Merging with the Stone[/B][/I][B][/B]: An earth genasi does not leave a trail in mud or earth when they walk.

[U]Flame Lord or Lady[/U] [I][B]Ability Score Increase[/B][/I][B][/B]: +2 Intelligence [I][B]Reaching to the Blaze[/B][/I][B][/B]: A fire genasi can cause one nearby source of fire to burn twice as bright, or simply snuff out, as a bonus action on their turn.
