typically have light blue skin, hair, and eyes. A faint but constant breeze accompanies them, tousling the hair and stirring the clothing. Some air genasi speak with breathy voices, marked by a faint echo. A few display odd patterns in their flesh or grow crystals from their scalps.

Earth Genasi 
 As an earth genasi, you are descended from the cruel and greedy dao, though you aren’t necessarily evil. You have inherited some measure of control over earth, reveling in superior strength and solid power. You 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.

Fire Genasi 
As a fire genasi, you have inherited the volatile mood and keen mind of the efreet. You tend toward impatience and making snap judgments. Rather than hide your distinctive appearance, you exult in it. Nearly all fire genasi are feverishly hot as if burning inside, an impression reinforced by flaming red, coalblack, or ash-gray skin tones. The more human-looking have fiery red hair that writhes under extreme emotion, while more exotic specimens sport actual flames dancing on their heads. Fire genasi voices might sound like crackling flames, and their eyes flare when angered. Some are accompanied by the faint scent of brimstone. 
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1. 
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. Your ties to the Elemental Plane of Fire make your darkvision unusual: everything you see in darkness is in a shade of red.

Water Genasi 
The lapping of waves, the spray of sea foam on the wind, the ocean depths—all of these things call to your heart. You wander freely and take pride in your independence, though others might consider you selfish. Most water genasi look as if they just finished bathing, with beads of moisture collecting on their skin and hair. They smell of fresh rain and clean water. Blue or green skin is common, and most have somewhat overlarge eyes, blue-black in color. A water genasi’s hair might float freely, swaying and waving as if underwater.

trickling streams.

Void Genasi
Born from the entropic energy of the Forogtten One, Void Genasi have inherited a corruption from the vacuum. Those touched by the void tend to be impartial towards others, but hedonistic and selfish, taking any advantage and pleasure given to them. Void genasi have dark black, almost jet black, skin, smoky hair that seems to float of its own accord. In some rare cases, runes of black light etch their skin.

Warforged Traits


Built for the job.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by +1. As a Warforged, you were created for hardiness and the ability to work.
Age. A Warforged is built complete and considered fully developed after construction, therefore are built to last. The maximum age for a Warforged has not yet been determined; it depends mostly on the Warforged's lifestyle and exposure to risk.

Living Construct. You are a Construct. In addition, you are immune to poison, sleep, fear, and disease effects. You have resistance to piercing damage. You have resistance to slashing unless the roll is a critical, hitting the wood fibers of your muscle, then you take the full critical damage. You are weak to lightning, and fire damage. You do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, and cannot gain the magical effects from consumables, or recover HP from potions. As a Warforged you receive only 1/2 HP from recovery dice during a short or long rest and the effects of healing spells, unless a spell effect details otherwise.
Artificial Anatomy. As a Warforged you gain advantage on all death saving throws. A warforged can recover hit points through repairs using a 'Warforged repair kit', which is a set of artisans tools that are specifically designed for this purpose. The amount of HP recovered from 8 hours of work is equal to the hit points that would be gained from a long rest. The following tools may be used instead of a full Warforged repair kit at 1/2 efficiency: Jewelers, Masons, Smiths, or Tinkers tools. All Warforged's are proficient in the use of a Warforged repair kit. Work with your DM to determine the cost of Warforged repair kits, number of maximum uses, and where to find / purchase them (and cost).
Power Down. As a Warforged you go into an inert state every day at your choice. Your Warforged gains the benefits, except for restored HP, of a long rest after 4 hours of this. The time taken for repairs does not count toward this rest.
Forged for War. As a Warforged, your body is covered in a composite plating that makes you inherently armored. This plating takes the place of armor and thus cannot be worn with armor. Because of this trait, your Warforged body can be enchanted as armor. You can choose to remove your plating, or to have been constructed without it, which removes the AC bonus but frees the armor slot. The statistics including weight for your natural armor is determined by your subrace.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and One language based on your creator's origin
