In the Company of Genies

This seems like an interesting idea. But I'm hesitant to pick it up because the Pathfinder vision of the four Classical elements has always felt a little lacking. I'm hoping someone who reads the product can comment on what's in it. Could it do something like Islamic djinn, which wouldn't be focused on elemental stuff but would be more focused on powers like shapechanging and messing with matter?

I'm still hoping for "In the Company of Chimera" for all my mix-and-match critter needs.


looks good but I dont full read the sucker just skim the preview file


It is pretty heavily focused on the elements, and I didn't find any change shape talents or anything - there is the 1st level ability to shape matter into images (such as writing words with fire). For what you're looking for Silvercat, I'd probably say pass on this one.


Sounds like it's limited to elemental genie rather than allowing for Islamic jinn.

... the preview file doesn't even have a single mechanic shown in it.


That's too bad.


The focus is definitely on genies of the four classic elements with powers that allow players to build characters who share similarities the four types of genie (efreeti, marid, djinni, shaitan). The fifth path--path of the true jann--is more general and less tied to any one specific element.
