Attuned Element Upon waking each day, a gennayn attunes to one planar element. They gain the corresponding trait, a movement Speed, a cantrip, resistance, and an elemental damage type for their energy fist attack based on their attuned element: air fly 30 feet, resist electricity 5, electric arc, electricity damage; earth burrow 15 feet, resist bludgeoning 5, scatter scree, bludgeoning damage; fire fly 30 feet, resist fire 5, ignition, fire damage; metal burrow 15 feet, resist slashing 5, needle darts, slashing damage; water swim 20 feet, resist cold 5, frostbite, bludgeoning damage; wood climb 15 feet, resist piercing 5, tangle vine, piercing damage. The attunement lasts until the gennayn attunes to a different element.Change Shape [one-action] (arcane, concentrate, polymorph) The gennayn transforms into a Tiny elemental or animal. This doesn't affect the gennayn's statistics, but it could change the damage type of their Strikes.Little Wish [reaction] (fortune) Trigger A creature the gennayn can see that's within 60 feet attempts a saving throw or skill check; Frequency once per day; Effect The gennayn reshapes reality in a small way to twist fate, allowing the creature to reroll the saving throw or skill check and take the better result.
Artistic Inspiration
Talented individuals often claim to have been inspired by otherworldly forces. As gennayns are known to share inspiration and develop talent, many scholars and artists believe their aptitude unknowingly benefited from a gennayn's attention. Others speculate that being in a gennayn's good graces can stave off bouts of artistic ennui—or that angering a gennayn is a direct path to creative doldrums. Gennayns themselves don't claim to be muses, merely beings drawn to talent.
