Dragonstar Water Genasi Racial Template

75 points

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.

Lithe water genasi can operate unhindered in water of any depth for as long as they wish. They also enjoy superior resistance to water-based attacks: giant icicles, Dehydrate spells, and so on. Their control over water is limited to tricks like putting out torches in the mouth or flushing away acid on their skin.
