📋 About This Mod
Playable Genasi
This mod adds the Genasi race for player characters. The implementation is based on my D&D home-game, which includes small changes to the official material, like the Planetouched tag, and the inclusion of the Slime Genasi.
Genasi
Creating a Genasi character comes with traits inherent to their race and subrace. All Genasi bleed their element instead of regular blood, are resistant to their elemental damage and gain additional spells based on their subrace. The Genasi use their Constitution as the spellcasting ability for these spells.
Air
Lightweight at 50 kg
Gains 1. 5m additional movement speed
Bleeds a cloud
Gains resistance to lightning damage
Learns the Shocking Grasp cantrip
Can cast Featherfall, Gust of Wind and Hollow Bones starting starting at 3rd level, once per long rest. Hollow Bones is very similar to the Jump spell, but far better.
Earth
Heavier than usual, at 125 kg
Movement is not reduced by muddy terrain
Bleeds mud
Gains resistance to poison damage, and advantage on saving throws to resist becoming poisoned
Learns the Blade Ward cantrip. Also gains a secondary Blade Ward spell, which can be cast as a bonus action once every combat.
Can cast Pass without Trace starting at 1st level, once per long rest
Fire
Gains Darkvision
Bleeds fire
Gains resistance to fire damage
Learns the Produce Flame cantrip
Can cast Burning Hands starting at 3rd level, once per long rest
Can cast Flame Blade starting at 5th level, once per long rest
Slime
Halfway between Earth and Water, Slime Genasi weigh 100 kg
Bleeds acid
Gains resistance to acid damage
Slime Genasi use their Constitution score for Athletics checks, rather than Strength. Also, they gain a secondary jump skill scaling with their Constitution score (as a replacement for climbing speed)
Learns the Acid Splash cantrip
Can cast Gaseous Form starting at 3rd level, once per long rest and only targeting themselves
Water
Bleeds water
Gains resistance to acid damage
Movement is not reduced when wading through water
Learns the Acid Splash cantrip
Can cast Create or Destroy Water starting at 3rd level, once per long rest
Can cast Serene Currents starting at 5th level, once per long rest. This spell applies an aura to the caster, which moves with you and increases the movement speed and removes the burning condition of you and allies within the aura. Enemies in this aura are treated as if wading through deep water - they are in difficult terrain, gain resistance to fire damage and vulnerability to cold damage. This spell lasts for 10 rounds.
