Editing Genasi (section)

===In 5e===
Now the offspring of Genies and Humans, because it's kinda hard to explain how you fucked a rock and the rock gave birth, though Genasi can also be a result from a surge of elemental power from a planar convergence or an eruption from the Inner Planes. Also different from their 4e counterparts as they can grow hair. Genies rarely ever contact their offspring, seeing them as accidents.

Genasi got a 5e update in the Elemental Evil campaign, appearing in both the Princes of Elemental Evil adventure book and the 'Elemental Evil Player's Companion'' web-enhancement. Which can be found [http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/EE_PlayersCompanion.pdf  here, if you want to chase it].

Stat-wise: +2 Con (you're just built different), tend towards Neutral alignments, live a little longer than humans, but not much. Majority of bonuses come from their subrace.

'''Air Genasi''' get +1 Dex, unlimited breath while not incapacitated, free levitate every long rest.

'''Earth Genasi''' get +1 Strength, Earth Walk (Difficult terrain does not apply if made of earth or stone), and Merge With Stone. (free Pass Without Trace once per long rest, with Con as the casting ability)

'''Fire Genasi''' get +1 Intelligence, Darkvision (except everything is red, instead of gray), fire resistance, and Reach to the Blaze. (Produce Flame Cantrip known immediately, get Burning Hands once per long rest at 3rd level, using Con as the Spellcasting Ability)

'''Water Genasi''' get +1 Wisdom, acid resistance, Amphibious (breather air and water), swim speed of 30 ft, and Call to the Wave. (Free Shape Water cantrip, get Destroy Water at level 3 once per long rest using Con as the Spellcasting Ability)

''Mordekainen's Monsters of the Multiverse'' would re-shuffle the genasi into a standard mold, giving rather decent perks to all subraces, especially the very gimped Air Genasi.
