Radiant Genasi (5e Subrace)
Genasi Subrace[edit]
Made of pure radiant energy and rather dexterous creatures with bright light that is not foreign to these genasi. Usually made of divine light, white, non-physical armor is plated upon them but seemingly disappears when equipping a physical armor piece. These genasi are said to be made from a mixed breed of a genasi and a celestial being but others believe they are made from a powerful burst of radiant energy that forms them. Whether these theories are both true or wrong, these genasi exist and are usually present as guards for holy beings.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Constitution increases by 1.
Divine Being. You are resistant to radiant damage.
Squeezing Energy. Your kind is known to being able to squeeze in small gaps because you are made of energy particles. You can squeeze in spaces as small as 1 inch. You cannot use this trait if you are wearing armor. If you end your turn while squeezing, you take 1d10 bludgeoning damage.
Radiant Armor. You have natural, spectral armor that protects you from ongoing attacks. While not wearing armor, your AC is equal to 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

At 3rd level, you can cast Divine Favor once, without expending a spell slot or spell components, regaining use after you finish a long rest. At 5th level you can cast Spiritual Weapon once, without expending a spell slot or spell components, regaining use after you finish a long rest.
