Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herschel" data-source="post: 5337570" data-attributes="member: 78357">Genasi is my most-played race these days. I love the elemental flavor and versatility within the race. The Str/Int stat boost is cool because it lets you be strong AND (or) smart for amazing versatility that way too. So either flavor or stat boost makes them "work" for a wide variety of classes. Before genasi I played mostly humans. I like Deva too, hate "monster" races (half-orc, minotaur, elves <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> and with 4E gnomes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ) and fanboy races pulled from the half- templates from 3E I really hated (tieflings and dragonborn) but have a soft spot for warforged and kalashtar. Genasi work flavor AND stat-wise for my favorite class: the Swordmage. I love being lightly-armored yet viable in the thick of battle. I love being a defender, but not just a meat shield. I prefer to be more like the search & rescue type where I go in to the thick to pull people out and works better with outside-the-box play that drives Char-Op types bonkers. I've gotten more use out of Lightning Lure than should be legally allowed.  I've also discovered an affinity for the Seeker. It's another outside-the-box class that's really fun on a bun. He doesn't work well as a "solo", but he can make a defender a star and can step in to melee if it gets too thick.  I also like my Thaneborn Barbarian. Skip the stereotypical meaner-than-a-bear-and-dumber-than-a-stump stereotype, make him a Genasi and go with the rebel leader persona.</blockquote>
