Genasi
Tracing their ancestry to the genies of the Elemental Planes, each genasi can tap into the power of one of the elements. Air, earth, fire, and water—these are the four pillars of the Material Plane and the four types of genasi. Some genasi are direct descendants of a genie, while others were born to non-genasi parents who lived near a place suffused by a genie’s magic.
Life Span: A typical genasi has a life span of 120 years.
Creature Type: You are a Humanoid.
Size: You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.
Speed: Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Ability Score Increases: When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.
Languages: Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
Typical Genasi languages: Common and Primordial.
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.
The following sub-races of Genasi exist in Chronala
Genasi originally appeared as a playable race option in Elemental Evil Player's Companion but have been updated in Monsters of the Multiverse*.
*Monsters of the Multiverse (released 16 May 2022) replaces and updates the information in both Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and also includes Playable Races from some other sources as well.
