Homebrew:Wood Genasi

This is homebrew content intended for the Invisible Fortress campaign.

As a wood genasi, you are descended from wood elementals. You share a strong affinity for plants and poisons.

Wood genasi typically have brown or green skin, hair, and eyes. They often have sticks and leaves in their hair, and close investigation reveals them to still be living and growing, rather than being forest detritus.

Creating Your Character

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. 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.

Life Span

The typical life span of a genasi is about 120 years, assuming the character doesn't meet a violent end on an adventure.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If you'd like to determine your character's height or weight randomly, consult the Random Height and Weight table in the Player's Handbook, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.
