Now I have a tough one for you guys. How would you handle a player adamant on playing a genasi? 



Let him read this article. Warning: Magmasoul is a trap.

although the published 4E Dark Sun material has been hit or miss, I think the Genasi article was well done. Read that. What do you mean that Magmasoul is a trap?

I am a canonical Dark Sun player from 2e when it first came out, so I do not allow many races to be in the world that are not part of canon.

However, I did make an exception for a player that wanted to be a sharmind. To make a long story short, he came from a sub-plane of the inner plane of earth and was ripped from his homeland by Nibenay before being "pickled" in the plane of shadow. After slowly becoming encased in a solid orb of obsidian in the gray, Nibenay brought him to his palace to continue his research. He chiseled the shardmind out of the obsidian and then a magical/psionic explosion (more than likely caused by Borys who was pissed) caused the newly chiseled obsidian shardmind to be blasted out of the palace.

Anyways, he awoke later, in a a smooth polished black obsidian body and has been adventuring ever since.

I finally figured it out.

Magma Eruption- (req. magmasoul)-a trap. While weakening sounds cool, they have to END in your aura, and THEN your turn will come up, and then they are no longer weakened. So it's only 1/2 damage on OA's, and so it's not great, at all.
