Having read the other blood of books and ARG i was pretty excited by the prospect of blood of elementals. Shame it has very little new crunch, instead filling half the book with info on the planes. Anyway, i still think the geniekin races are great, especially for an arabian setting. So here are my conversions for 5E geniekin, as usual adapted to fit 5E spells as needed. As usual if you don’t like something change it!!
For background information and names see the Pathfinder advanced race guide or blood of elementals by paizo.

Would you be open to suggestions for changing this? I would love to bounce some ideas off you
Awesome! I love the suli race, just some suggestions, if I may. You could make the elemental assault once per short or long rest and the upgrades of it the same levels as the dragonborn breath weapon (6th, 11th and 16th)… and maybe instead of changing the dice, just add 1d6 each time (2d6/6th, 3d6/11th and 4d6/16th) 🙂
