Not as a part of the Planetouched heritage, but as it's own heritage. I know that the first part to creating their heritage is the part where you determine their age, their size and their speed. I also figure that they are going to have Darkvision. But I don't see them having anything like the Immortal Blessing feature that the A5e Aasimar and Tiefling have. So what special ability could they have in common? I think it should be something that ties them to their Genie ancestors or maybe even the elements themselves.  Recently I had an idea for their special ability that could tie them to their Genie ancestor. The Bountiful Luck feat from 5e. Here's the part I would use from that feat:Your people have extraordinary luck, which you have learned to mystically lend to your companions whenever you see them falter. You're not sure how you do it, you just wish it, and it happens. Surely a sign of fortune's favor!<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you rolls a 1 on the d20 for an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to let the ally reroll the die. The ally must use the new roll.</li> </ul>       Since Genies are commonly known for granting wishes, I could see their Genasi descendants having a tiny sliver of this ability. It's not very reliable most of the time. Rolling a 1 only happens 5% of the time when making any kind of check. And even when their wish does come true, it's not always helpful. Thus it's not OP. This ability could be called Minor Wish or Genie's Blessing Thoughts?I am curious to see what everyone might like to see as a common special ability for the Genasi.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
