Elemental Demise. If the djinni dies, its body disintegrates into a warm breeze, leaving behind only equipment the djinni was wearing or carrying.
Innate Spellcasting. The djinni’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: detect evil and good, detect magic, thunderwave
3/day each: create food and water (can create wine instead of water) , tongues, wind walk
1/day each: conjure elemental (air elemental only), creation, gaseous form, invisibility, major image, plane shift
Multiattack. The djinni makes three scimitar attacks.
Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) lightning or thunder damage (djinni’s choice).
Create Whirlwind. A 5-foot-radius, 30-foot-tall cylinder of swirling air magically forms on a point the djinni can see within 120 feet of it. The whirlwind lasts as long as the djinni maintains concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). Any creature but the djinni that enters the whirlwind must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be restrained by it. The djinni can move the whirlwind up to 60 feet as an action, and creatures restrained by the whirlwind move with it. The whirlwind ends if the djinni loses sight of it.
A creature can use its action to free a creature restrained by the whirlwind, including itself, by succeeding on a DC 18 Strength check. If the check succeeds, the creature is no longer restrained and moves to the nearest space outside the whirlwind.
is this where storm sorcerers come from
for my backstory, i wanna know a djinn that plays an instrument or is a musician LOL.... i know this sounds stupid but i just wanna know if thats okay for me to do? ((i don't wanna be a djinn pc so this is not about that.))
Yeah I think so. A lot of the pronunciations have him voicing it.
Wow I want to hear how this goes!
Him and Marisha, yeah. She does some of them, too.
So Djinni no longer cast "Wish" then, in 5E?
Sorry for asking, but the last time I played AD&D, it was in 1997, and it was 2E rules back then.
I think they save that kind of thing for certain genies (I believe Gazre-Azam from the Candlekeep book has it), plus you can always have yours cast it. If you look at what spells are available, they have nothing higher than a 7th level spell. Wish is a 9th. So these garden variety genies aren't quite powerful enough to cast Wish (in combat?) yet. That's my theory/guess. Wish is reserved more for powerful, boss-type genies. Y'know, ones with Legendary Actions and such.
"what's he doing?"
"He's just floating there... MENACINGLY!"
So... can it grant wishes
It sure sounds like it
