Homebrew Genasiling Species Details

Halfling’s that ventured into the elemental planes and stayed had children with genies creating the new race of genasiling.

 

Heirs to Elemental Power

Genasiling inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble Halflings but have unusual skin color (red, green, blue, or gray), and there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each Genasiling, often as magical power.

Seen in silhouette, a Genasiling can usually pass for Halfling. Those of earth or water descent tend to be heavier, while those of air or fire tend to be lighter.

Genasiling  almost never have contact with their elemental parents. Genie  seldom have interest in their mortal offspring, seeing them as accidents. Many feel nothing for their Genasiling children at all.

Some Genasiling live as outcasts, driven into exile for their unsettling appearance and strange magic, or assuming leadership of savage humanoids and weird cults in untamed lands. Others gain positions of great influence, especially where elemental beings are revered. A few Genasiling leave the Material Plane to find refuge in the households of their genie parents.

 

Small and Practical

The diminutive Genasiling survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offense. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds.

 

Kind and Curious

Genasiling  are an affable and chaotic people. They love discovering new things, even simple things, such as an exotic food or an unfamiliar style of clothing.

Gensaling are easily moved to pity and hate to see any living thing suffer. They are generous, happily sharing what they have even in lean times.

 

Blend into the Crowd

Gensaling are adept at fitting into a community of humans, dwarves, or elves, making themselves valuable and welcome. The combination of their inherent stealth and their unassuming nature helps Genasilings to avoid unwanted attention.

Genasilings work readily with others, and they are loyal to their friends, whether genasiling or otherwise. They can display remarkable ferocity when their friends, families, or communities are threatened.

 

Pastoral Pleasantries

Most Genasilings live in small, peaceful communities with large farms and well-kept groves. They build kingdoms of their own. Families preserve their traditional ways despite the rise and fall of empires.

Many Genasiling live among other races, where the Genasilings’ hard work and loyal outlook offer them abundant rewards and creature comforts. Some Genasiling communities travel as a way of life, driving wagons or guiding boats from place to place and maintaining no permanent home.

 

Exploring Opportunities

Genasiling usually set out on the adventurer’s path to defend their communities, support their friends, or explore a wide and wonder-filled world. For them, adventuring is less a career than an opportunity or sometimes a necessity.
