I'm trying to convert every genasi type from 4th edition to 5th. Some just require slight alterations, and I will be noting those
Basic
Storm Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma increases by 1.
Stormsoul. You know the shocking grasp cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the thunderwave spell once with this trait as a 1st-level spell, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Speed of lightning. Your speed increases by 5 feet.
Abyssal
Caustic Genasi
As Water, but replace shape water with acid splash.
Cinder Genasi
As Fire, but replace burning hands with absorb elements.
Plague Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength increases by 1.
Hand of sickness. You know the poison spray cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the ray of sickness spell once with this trait as a 1st-level spell, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
One with disease. You gain resistance to poison damage, and advantage on saving throws against poison and disease.
Void Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 1.
Step through the void. You can cast the misty step spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Un-mind. You have resistance to psychic damage.
Athas
Ember Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence increases by 1.
Body of ash. You can cast the blur spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Firewalker. You have resistance to fire damage.
Magma Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength increases by 1.
Volcanic magic. You know the create bonfire cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the earth tremor spell once with this trait as a 1st-level spell, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Lava step. You have resistance to fire damage.
Sand Genasi
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 1.
Sand minion. You can cast the dust devil spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Sand runner. When you take the dash action, you can pass through enemy spaces.
Sun Genasi
As Fire, but with +1 Wisdom instead of Intelligence.
The only one I'm really worried about being unbalanced is the Sand Runner power. I can't really balance it against anything. Although I suppose an argument could be made for jump allowing you to pass over enemy spaces.
