The genasi, or the infused, are people imbued with elemental character – the result of rare flings between mortals and elementals capable of taking mortal form. They-re probably the happiest of half-spirits, being neither creepy nor burdened with moral baggage. Their social problems are rarely worse than village kids bugging them to perform tricks.
Genasi resemble humans (or whatever their flesh-and-blood parent is) with obvious elemental features. They aren't unattractive, but only earth-infused can pass as anything but what they are. Specific abilities vary by elemental type and are generally Mana Sensitive – that is, they don't work without mana.
- Choice Professions: Martial Artist, Scout, Swashbuckler.
- Marginal Professions: None.
The main ability of speedy fire genasi is fire resistance: subtract an extra DR 6 from fire damage, and then halve penetrating injury (e.g., 21 points of dragon's breath would inflict only 7 points). This extends to heat; the average fire-infused is quite comfortable up to 200°. They can't control fire, but can generate small flames for light and heat.
- Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: Basic Speed+1 [20].
- Advantages: Damage Resistance 6 (Limited, Fire and Heat, -40%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [15]; Injury Tolerance (Damage Reduction 2; Limited, Fire and Heat, -40%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [25]; Reputation +3 (Fire Elementals) [5]; Temperature Tolerance 11 (Mana Sensitive, -10%) [10].
- Perks: Flaming Fingers* [1], Flaming Hair† [1].
- Disadvantages: Unnatural Features 2 [-2].
- Features: (Example) High body temperature – every handshake is a warm one. Red, fiery eyes and flushed skin.
* Flaming Fingers: Can emit a candle-sized flame – equivalent to a first-level Ignite Fire spell – from a finger. This can ignite lanterns, fuses, etc., but not injure enemies.
† Flaming Hair: Head burns with cool flame equivalent to torchlight, eliminating darkness penalties in a two-yard radius. Not concealable!
