Lineage - Godtouched (Sanguine, Urban, Candy) (Patreon)

Genasi are awesome; on this we can all agree. But if you're limiting yourself to just elemental bloodlines - can't we all agree that is, in fact, a bit of a bummer? No more!

This one's a bit unusual - commissioned for a setting with influences of Dread and Delight that go beyond simple elemental planes. I'm calling them Godtouched, just to avoid overfreighting genasi (and for the ability to release these CC-BY at some point). They're built on the same chassis as the Elemental-Touched by A Tiny Living Room (I highly recommend!), which means they're each a lineage that follows the general genasi template. Each one comes with a resistance or other defensive feature, a standard set of spells, and then a few more unique and flavorful features.

Sanguine: Probably the most straightforward and least out-there, Sanguine Godtouched are blessed by a blood god! Fittingly, they get to resist one instance of slashing or piercing damage per short rest. They get three blood magic spells out of KibblesTasty's Blood magic, though aside from the cantrip they're intentionally not offensive spells - more focused on interesting thematic uses of blood magic. Their Wasting Hex is situational but super good when it's good - giving them the ability to curtail an enemy's healing. And they can burn their own Hit Dice to restore someone else's.

Urban: My personal favorite of the three, Urban Godtouched are changed by a great city. They get a pretty mild defense in disease resistance. But Street Magic gives them an incredibly useful kit of utility spells, and they get two features to amp up their navigation and tracking in cities, especially their hometown. Unlike the other godtouched, they get darkvision, to help them lurk in alleyways and between the streetlamps. And they get to commune with every city's most populous and mighty denizen, the humble rat.

Candy: Definitely the most out there for most games, but a lot of fun. Candy magic, as I've written some before, focuses heavily on charms and objects, with abilities to tempt creatures or manifest different magical effects through consumable treats. Candy godtouched get charm resistance as their defense, and a spell set that aims to cover basic charms and edible goodies. Alluring Treat is a great control ability - a bit akin to Entangle, with some tweaks for flavor. And Otherworldly Delight lets the Candy Godtouched create a powerful buff out of a bit of their own essence, sacrificing their own hit points to give an ally twice as many temps.
