Homebrew Genasi Half-Drow Species Details
Descended from an earlier subrace of elves, the Drow were banished from the surface world for following the goddess Lolth down the path of evil. Now they have built their own civilization in the depths of the Underdark, patterned after the Way of Lolth. Also called dark elves, the Drow have skin that resembles charcoal or obsidian, as well as stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have very pale eyes (so pale as to be mistaken for white) in shades of lilac, silver, pink, red, and blue. They tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves.
As an air genasi, you are descended from the djinn. As changeable as the weather, your moods shift from calm to wild and violent with little warning, but these storms rarely last long.
Air genasi 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.

Alignment
Genasi Half-elves share the chaotic, and often neutral, natures of their parents heritage. They value both personal freedom and creative expression, demonstrating neither love of leaders nor desire for followers.

Greater Darkvision

Sunlight Sensitivity
You have disadvantage on attack rolls that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
Trance
Genasi Half-Drow pull from their Elvish roots and don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep
