	Third edition was the first time that stats for non-"Core Elemental" Genasi reared their heads, with Dust, Ice, Magma, Ooze, Smoke and Steam Genasi appearing in [[Dragon Magazine]] #297. Because this article came out before paraelementals were a thing, paraelemental genasi were stated to be a rare result of crossbreeding between either two lineages of genasi, or else what happens when a genasi or half-elemental of one element does the dirty with an elemental from another.		Third edition was the first time that official (well, "official") stats for non-"Core Elemental" Genasi reared their heads, with Dust, Ice, Magma, Ooze, Smoke and Steam Genasi appearing in [[Dragon Magazine]] #297 - [[Planescape]] fans had invented their take on the idea back when the internet was young. Because this article came out before paraelementals were a thing, paraelemental genasi were stated to be a rare result of crossbreeding between either two lineages of genasi, or else what happens when a genasi or half-elemental of one element does the dirty with an elemental from another.

	'''Dust Para-Genasi''' are typically morbid and sarcastic, almost always dressing in black and with a penchant to treat funeral wear as casual garb. Pale and gaunt, with hollow cheeks and dark eyes, more drastic displays of elemental affinity include perpetually dry skin and being constantly enveloped in a cloud of dust.

	'''Ice Para-Genasi''' are cold-hearted, logical and emotionless by inclination. They resemble their human progenitors, but with paler skin and sharper, more chiseled features than their ancestry would consider normal. Mutations include breath that frosts in even the hottest weather and frost-caked hair.		'''Ice Para-Genasi''' (Air/Water) are cold-hearted, logical and emotionless by inclination.

	'''Magma Para-Genasi''' combine traits from earth and fire genasi. They tend to be short and stocky in build, sometimes to the extent of being mistakable for [[dwarves]] at a casual glance. Typically dark-skinned, which may give off a reddish glow, other mutations are similar to those of earth or fire genasi, such as unusually hot skin or hair that ripples like flames.

Typically dark-skinned, which may give off a reddish glow, other mutations are similar to those of earth or fire genasi, such as unusually hot skin or hair that ripples like flames.

	'''Ooze Para-Genasi''' are spiritually revolting, tending to express the disgusting nature of their ancestral plane by being slimy and repulsive in appearance and/or in personality. Usually heavyset, with sallow skinned, flabby bodies, common mutations include unnaturally greasy skin, secreting noxious goo in lieu of sweat, constantly sweating, or possessing unusually flexible limbs.

	'''Smoke Para-Genasi''' tend to embody most of the worst traits of fire and air, usually being crude and lazy.

	A darker aspect of the genasi is derived from their association with the [[Elemental Chaos]]. Because it touches on [[the Abyss]], sometimes a genasi will be born with a corrupt manifestation, and carry the touch of the Abyss with them for the rest of their lives. These are the Caustic, Cinder, Plague and Void souls, twisted versions of the Water, Fire, Earth and Wind manifestations. Lightning doesn't get one. These corrupted genasi were added in [[Dragon Magazine]] #380.		A darker aspect of the genasi is derived from their association with the [[Elemental Chaos]].

	In [[~~Dark_Sun\|~~Dark Sun]] they have different manifestations, namely Ember, Magma, Sand and Sun, which are covered in [[Dragon Magazine]] #396. These are so different to standard genasi in one part because of mixed ancestry and in part because of the taint that [[Defiler\|defiling]] has had on Athas.

These are so different to standard genasi in one part because of mixed ancestry and in part because of the taint that [[Defiler\|defiling]] has had on Athas.

	The genasi are a highly emotional race. A desire for [[Tzeentch\|change]] is deep-rooted in the race, to the point that even [[Alignment\|Lawful Good]] genasi embrace the idea of change. Genasi society is small due to the nature of the Elemental Chaos, yet highly dynamic. It is rare to find a genasi that has held the same position for several years, or in some cases, even months. You rise and fall in the eyes of a genasi based on merit and ambition, but nothing lasts forever, and you'll quickly need to find something to keep proving yourself. In comparison to other races, genasi settlements know few paupers and less to no permanent poor folk, for a near-impossible ability to feel pessimism and a constant drive to improve one's lot in life quickly restores one's social standing. As Cruijff would say: "If you're at the bottom there's only one way you can go: up." The idea of nobility and royalty is foreign to the genasi, as one's position could be undone at any moment. The downside to this view is that the genasi don't look to the future, they only know that it'll be different, embracing it whatever it may be.		The genasi are a highly emotional race.

			Ironically, fans beat [[Paizo]] to this concept back in 2nd edition, when [[Planescape]] fans created paraelemental lineages for genasi that you can still find online today if you can track down the [[Mimir]] website.
