Homebrew Genie Species Details
Genie's Vessel:
You are bound to the Laws of being a Genie.
Starting at 1st level, you make any small container your own Genie Vessel. Choose any small container that has a lid, such as a flask, a jar, or an oil lamp, (some Genies even use a soul stone) to become your Genie Vessel after a 1 hour ritual. You may only have one genie vessel at a time. If you complete the ritual to make another Genie Vessel, the previous vessel disappears, The Genie's Vessel has the following properties:
- It is essentially indestructible. If your vessel is lost it can be teleported back to you using a bonus action.
- It can be used as your arcane focus
- You may enter the vessel as an action. The inside of the vessel is a 30 ft tall cylinder with a radius of 50 ft. It is decorated and furnished to your liking. An exquisite meal will be magically provided for you if you so desire it. You may not remove any Furniture or Food created within the vessel but you can store and retrieve items from the outside. If you make a new vessel, this space automatically transfers to the new vessel. This space is physically impenetrable but can be accessed by powerful magic such as planar travel or teleportation. This space can not be viewed by scrying and other such divination magics.

Master's Wish:
Once every 3 days you are required to grant 1 Lesser wish to your master. This Lesser Wish can cast any spell available of equivalent spell caster level. The Genie does not willingly grant the players wish. The Master must roll a Persuasion check against the Genie's Charisma Save. If the Genie succeeds he interprets the wish how he see's fit based on the master's wish. If the Master wins the check then the Genie must grant the wish to the best of his abilities.
If the master wishes for material items, the Genie can grant them equal to 10 * character level + 100 gp . The same ruling for obtaining these items applies as above and the master must make a persuasion check against the genie's charisma saving throw.
Freedom - The Genie can only be freed by casting the "Wish" spell, when he is adequate level to do so, if his Master wishes him free.
Wish restrictions - Genies are adept at casting wishes, so therefore they do not suffer the same penalties as other races. They do have limiting factors however on their ability to utilize this spell:
- A Genie can only grant a "Wish" once per week
- A Genie is very reluctant to use a "Wish" spell and will only do so if he is convinced (Persuaded by his Master), he will do everything in his power to construe the message to his benefit.
