03-28-08, 04:06 AM Welcome to the forums, Vanda! I'm glad you joined our community.

First of all, an input about nomenclature. All these native outsiders are known as planetouched, genasi are only the elemental ones. But that's only a name, if you want to call all of them genasi in your campaign, make what you want, but people here will be less confused if you use the 'canon' term.

I don't find these versions of the planetouched too much powerful, at first glance, but you may consider that being native outsider makes you immune to those spells targeting humanoids, and I find some of the secondary resistances of the elemental genasi a bit odd. I would consider myself if they are truly overpowered. For the spell-like abilities, I would change their Caster Level to something related to actual character level (the same, or half, depending in the final result).

There are 'official' versions of various lesser races in the Appendix of the Player's Guide to Faerūn, and the aasimar, tiefling, and the four genasi are included in there, but their type is changed from outsider (native) to humanoid (planetouched), but it is a good material to take a look.

My question is what about air genasi's magic? They can use fire magic, for example?
I know that, they favor spells of air and lighting, but is it truth they can use only this magic?

I don't think so, although I don't have my books with me at the moment.

Genasi clerics must choose a deity with their appropriate element domain and they must choose that domain, so an air genasi must choose a deity with the Air domain and take it as one of his two domains. They are not forced to actually take only one of the greater elemental gods... Akadi (air), Grumbar (earth), Istishia (water), or Kossuth (fire), but they need the appropriate domain. (other options include Chauntea, Auril, Talos, Gond, Silvanus, etc.)

They can still cast spells of any descriptor, the limitation is only when selecting domains.
