The History of Genie Warlocks in Dungeons & Dragons | D&D Lore 

Classic *chef kiss*💯

AD&D2ndE and 3.5e spell Wish stated to provide a .. limited .. amount of gold treasure or magic items base on gp/Xp value, .. so .. If you could make contact with a noble genie or fire genie and pay 3x the stander treasure which a Wish could provide, then a PC could buy a Wish off of a given genie. This is away a wizard/ sorcerer could up their ability score to cast more powerful magic in the long term till they could cast Wish on their own. One time I started up a game where every one was part of a lesser noble house hold with a skill craft specialty, and after a few epic level games I let them find out they were fire genie and they were in a contest to find the best human .. pet.

3.5e, .. CR system in regards to would be desert animals. Red wolf/ American coyote or African jackal follow by wild boar and mountain lion, Rayek would be a multiclass 12th-level character, .. ranger something level and Psionic hand book Psion/ Psychic warrior. Maybe a few levels of rogue. Favorite enemy jackals after getting his arm maul for a few centuries before Leetah was born. Ran many games where Elf Quest elves being halflings and trolls being dwarves. My major hang up when I first started reading the graphic novels back in the late 1980's, the start of the second novel humans travel up to Sorrows End on a pony, by the time humans were traveling on ponies, we were already scouting locations for ... wine. And there is Cactus Juice, and trading of smoke shell fish. But as it stated in the opening statement in regards to the story, the World of Two Moons is not Earth. AD&D2ndE, a peasant farmer or a starting PC begin the game as a farmer militia member just killing/ clearing out giant insects & rats out of fields and the barn will be a 2nd-level fighter or a 3rd-level rogue" scout." In 3.5E, a commoner spending five to seven years doing the same thing will reach 7th-level single class commoner by the time they were 24 years old and be a parent at that point. Or a sorcerer able to cast Plant Growth subconscious without really being aware of their power. The reason I put Rayek at 12th-level is cause he actively hunted predators outside the village " and a few centuries old.". Now if you factor in 3rdE DMG option on training for skills & feats to Star Wars soldier class compare to real life training of military personal. A PC just by training time alone without factoring XP award will earn/ gain two to three levels per years. At best or lest Cutter would be at 7th or 8th-level character at the time he met Rayek. Rogue/ranger/fighter and showing having Spring Attack when drop on troll's snow mountain just before getting stab in the gut. As for Leetah class level bard 4th, cure light wounds or a psion/bard and crafted a psionic item to boost healing " her bracelets," then factor in her aim with a throwing knife in killing scorpions. Most of my game shop Elf Quest games fifth teen years ago played humans as comic relief, stone age coastal humans trading smoke shell fish, smoke fish, and wines for other wines, cactus juice, and animal furs. Just remember, the Go Backs ate trolls .. so .. humans are on the menu. It was mention Bear Claw had low morals in regards to getting drunk with the trolls during trade gabbling, who to say Bear Claw didn't have drinking buddies with pony nomad herders and still got the forest burn by the local human tribe ? Base a campaign around psionic power stone age items over divine/ arcane steel items.

@@krispalermo8133 good thinking on the elf quest characters and what classes they would be. I just wanted to use her look 😊I also liked the look of moonshade, shen-shen, ember, nightfall, and Venka for future character looks. Maybe winowill also. Lots of of cool looking elves to make characters of 😊

Glad I could help!

I agree and this is how I've viewed it as well. Magic, at least in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, is a science that can be expanded on and perfected. So it makes sense that as each edition goes on that magic became simpler (using the word loosely) became easier to use. It's also a good way to explain why bards are a default class when they used to take a lot of effort to become, or why even fighters can now use magic if they wanted to.

Welcome back!

Or simply an Ancient Green Dragon and Noble Dao having a deal.

There is no word from Wizards of the Coast on why they ignore the rest of the Forgotten Realms. I personally believe they wanted the brand to be more recognizable by using smaller regions recognized from books and video games.

It even offers mechanics for all 4 elements and well as magicians (scholars of 2 elements) and even many spells!

that's awesome. I love sand magic :D

Ooh, can I get the name of that doc?

@@sunwarrior310 yeah sure. Here’s the link! www.dmsguild.com/m/product/173753

@@Jorphdan yeah! Here’s a link to the doc if you’re interested Jordan! www.dmsguild.com/m/product/173753

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

I’m preparing to play a genie warlock in Out of the Abyss in 3 weeks

Glad you like them!

No specifics that I remember, but Sha'irs from the "Al-Qadim" setting could make "Genie Prisons" to capture them. They take the form of lamps, rings, gems, etc.

@@Jorphdan Thank you. I ended up finding what I was looking for in The Complete Sha'ir. It has a chapter about what materials are best for capturing what genies and where to capture them.

Thank you very much!

Nice!

@@Jorphdan The backstory I have so far is: The son of a Sha’ir from the land of fate called Zakhara and his Gen, a djinni bound within a lamp. His father had immigrated into the desert kingdom of Calimshan but fell ill on the journey, resulting in Gale being orphaned in a strange land with no one looking out for him as his mother had given up her physical form in the process of siring a child. Thus he grew up as a street rat while holding onto a crystal orb that contained his mother’s essence in the form of moving smoke. When he reached the age of adulthood, his mother had regained enough strength to reach out with him and thus formed a contract. In his homeland this would make him a Sha’ir, but in this place such pacts were considered that of Warlocks and so he is recognized as such.

Did I...? 🤔🤨😏😏😏

Desert Elf? Genasi? Human?

@@Jorphdan are desert elf's an option?

It's a Magic the Gathering image I believe.

Agreed. We need more.... Cletis Von Walter Kat Deeley Quinoa Vin Diesel
