This is a Bogeyman subclass.
Towering over the scorching desert, the huge ifrit chased the bandits off with gout after gout of searing flame. Seeing them disappear over the nearest dune, he returned to the scattered caravan. "Oh princess of delights, whose face shines like the moon, allow this humble servant to securely Convery you!"
Fairytale creatures of elemental power, Jinni (also known as Genies) are spirits in humanoid shape with magical powers to frighten and delight. Less sinister than many boogiemen, a jinni still inspires fear in common folk, but heroes and gentlefolk can deal with them as equals.
Source: Original.
Jinni Nature
Your creature type is elemental. You must determine an elemental affiliation, choosing one or rolling a die:
Jinni Kind (d4)
- Dao (Earth)
- Djinn (Air)
- Efreet (Fire)
- Marid (Water)
All jinni look similar to half-elves, with humanoid bodies and slightly pointed ears. Jinni may be bald or have impressive amounts of hair, and when they get emotional, their element manifests in their appearance or above their heads. A jinni can conceal their monstrous nature with enveloping clothes as long as they keep calm. When revealed, the reaction is less extreme than with other boogiemen, but they will still cause a commotion if their identity is suddenly revealed. A Jinni does not need to eat or breathe, but enjoys food and other earthly pleasures. Beyond this, each kind of jinni has their own distinctive appearance.
Dao are a rich brown or the color of local stone, with dark hair and eyes that sparkle like gems. They love owning and handling precious stone. They have resistance to cutting damage. Their Dark Strike inflicts force damage.
Djinn hive blue or cloud-colored skin and hair of the same range but contrasting against their skin. Their hair drifts behind them and they might leave whisps oof mist in their wake. They enjoy scents, perfume, and light wafts of incense. They have resistance to lightning damage and thunder and their Dark Strike inflicts thunder damage.
Efreet have brick-colored skin and black hair and some have horns or even tails. Their eyes appear to burn with an inner fire. They enjoy strong wine, incense, and smoking. They have resistance to fire damage and their Dark Strike inflicts fire damage.
Marid have deep blue or blue-green skin and white hair that resembles sea surf. Their hair moves even when they stand still, and they smell of salt. They love wine, lemonades, and particularly pure water. They have resistance to acid and cold damage and their Dark Strike inflicts force damage.
Jinni Spells
At 3rd level you gain the ability to cast spells. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your own elemental nature. You use your Charisma whenever a jinni spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a jinni spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Which spells you can cast depend on what type of jinni you are. On the Jinni Spells table you can see which spells you learn at which level. Once you learn these spells, you can cast each of them as much as you like. You ignore any material components of these spells.
Level | Spells for all Jinni | Dao Spells | Djinni Spells | Efreet Spells | Marid Spells |
3 | Detect Evil and Good | Sanctuary | Thunderwave | Burning Hands | Fog Cloud |
6 | Phantasmal Force | Spike Growth | Gust of Wind | Scorching Ray | Blur |
11 | Create Food and Water | Meld into Stone | Wind Wall | Fireball | Sleet Storm |
15 | Phantasmal Killer | Stone Shape | Greater invisibility | Fire Shield | Control Water |
20 | Creation | Wall of Stone | Seeming | Flame Strike | Cone of Cold |
Jinni's Vessel
At 6th level, your gain a magical vessel that serves as your abode. The vessel is a Tiny object. You decide what the object is, or you can determine what it is randomly by rolling on the Jinni's Vessel table.
Jinni's Vessel (d6)
- Oil lamp
- Urn
- Ring with a compartment
- Stoppered bottle
- Hollow statuette
- Ornate lantern
While you are touching the vessel, you can use it in the following ways:
- Bottled Respite: As an action, you can magically vanish and enter your vessel, which remains in the space you left. The interior of the vessel is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel. The interior is appointed with cushions and low tables and is a comfortable temperature. While inside, you can sense the area around your vessel as if you were in its space. You can exit the vessel as an action and are forced out if you die, or if the vessel is destroyed. When you exit the vessel, you appear in the unoccupied space closest to it. Any objects left in the vessel remain there until carried out, and if the vessel is destroyed, every object stored there harmlessly appears in the unoccupied spaces closest to the vessel's former space.
The vessel's AC equals your spell save DC. Its hit points equal your boogieman level plus your proficiency bonus, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage. If the vessel is destroyed or you lose it, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to create a replacement. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and the previous vessel is destroyed if it still exists. The vessel vanishes in a flare of elemental power when you die.
- Home Plane: The vessel becomes your home plane. If you are forced to your home plane by Banishment or another effect, you return to your vessel. You cannot exit the vessel until it is destroyed or another creature takes an action to open it. If you are sent to your home plane while your vessel is destroyed, it instantly reforms and appears in your space.
Elemental Nature
At 7th level you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical attacks.
Sanctuary Vessel
At 11th level your Jinni's Vessel grows into a 40 feet column 40 feet high. When you enter your Jinni's Vessel via the Bottled Respite feature, you can now choose up to five willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you, and the chosen creatures are drawn into the vessel with you.
As a bonus action, you can eject any number of creatures from the vessel, and everyone is ejected if you leave or die or if the vessel is destroyed.
XXX
At 15th level
Grant Wish
When you reach 20th level, you give a willing ally within 15 feet the ability to cast the Wish spell. If the wish is used for anything other than duplicating another spell, the user (not you) risks losing the ability to ever use a wish again, as outlined in the spell. You cannot cast this spell yourself, not can you or anyone else control what they wish for, even if they are charmed or otherwise controlled or coerced. NPCs given a wish likely behave according to their alignment: lawful creatures will refuse the wish except in an immediate need, chaotic creatures will use the wish frivolously, while creatures that are neither lawful or chaotic will use it for their own ends. You can grant three wishes, regaining the ability at the end of a long rest.
Designer's Comments
Obviously based on the Genie warlock patron. The ability to grant wishes is balanced by the fact that the wisher may lose the ability to ever wish again.
