Earth Genasi

Earth genasi descended from the cruel and greedy dao, though they are not necessarily evil. They have inherited some measure of control over earth, reveling in superior strength and solid power. Most tend to avoid rash decisions, pausing long enough to consider your options before taking action. Elemental earth manifests differently from one individual to the next. Some earth genasi always have bits of dust falling from their bodies and mud clinging to their clothes, never getting clean no matter how often they bathe. Others are as shiny and polished as gemstones, with skin tones of deep brown or black, eyes sparkling like agates. Earth genasi can also have smooth metallic flesh, dull iron skin spotted with rust, a pebbled and rough hide, or even a coating of tiny embedded crystals. The most arresting have fissures in their flesh, from which faint light shines.

Traits

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character (often Terran/Primordial). Earth Walk. You can move across difficult terrain without expending extra movement if you are using your walking speed on the ground or a floor. Merge with Stone. You know the blade ward cantrip.
