The race of the jannee is the weakest of
the elemental humanoids (cf.,
[dao], [djinni], [efreeti], [marid]) collectively
known as genies, because a jann
is formed out of all 4 of the elements
and must therefore spend most of his or her time on the [Prime Material
Plane].
Jannee often (60%) wear chainmail armor
which gives them an effective AC of 2.
They typically use large scimitars (equal
to bastard swords) and composite longbows.
Male janee have strength ranging from
18/01
to 18/00 and females from 17 (roll
of 01-50) to 18/50 (roll of 51-00).
In addition to the ability to fly, jannee
have the following spell-like
powers which they can employ at will,
1 at time, 1 per melee round:
growth/reduction
twice <(x2)> each per day,
invisibility
3 times per day,
[create food and water]
once <(1)> per day as a 7th-level cleric,
and etherealness
once <(1)> per day for a maximum of 1 hour.
Janee perform at 12th level ability, except
as noted.
<s>
Janee are able to dwell in air,
earth,
fire,
or water enviromnments for up to 48 hours.
This includes the elemental planes, to
which any jann can travel, even taking up to 6 individuals along if those
persons hold hands in a circle with it.
Failure to return to the [Prime Material
Plane] inflicts 1 point of damage per hour on the jann,
until a return to that
plane occurs or until death.
Travel to other elemental planes is possible,
sans damage,
providing at least
2 days were spent on the Prime Material Plane immediately prior to the
travel.
<sans>
<the last sentence is unclear: "Travel
to other elemental planes is possible.">
<etherealness might explain this: etherealness
allows travel to all the Inner Planes>
Janee tend to be suspicious of humans.
They do not like demihumans,
and detest humanoids.
Janee will accept djinn,
but shun daos, efreet, and marids.
<s>
<N = humans>
<A = demihumans>
<H = humanoids>
<T = djinn>
<A = daos, efreet, and marids>
<remember to apply the -1 to -8% modifier
for suspicion: DMG.100/102>
They will sometimes befriend humans or work with them for some desired reward such as potent magic items.
The society of janee is very open, and
males and females are regarded as equals.
A group of 11-30 individuals typically
makes up a tribe ruled by a sheik and 1-2 viziers.
Exceptionally powerful sheiks are given
the title of amir,
and in time of need they gather and command
large forces of jannee (and allied humans at times).
Jannee leaders have genius
intelligence, higher hit dice (up to 8+4 for sheiks, 9+5 for amirs) and
greater strength (19 possible 10% of the time).
<corrected typo>
<s>
Viziers have intelligence of genius to
supra-genius and the following spell-like powers:
[augury],
[detect magic],
and [divination],
3 times per day each at 12th level ability.
<s>
In addition to speaking the Common tongue
and the various languages of geniekind,
jannee are able to [speak with animals].
TALK= trade (SHOP event)
+TALK= create food & water, invisibility,
travel to elemental planes (augury, detect magic, divination)
++TALK= befriendment
befriendment could be
a. create food &
water, travel to elemental planes, +1 or +2
1. the same band of
jann if they are met again on the random encounter table (REST event)
2. if a group of 11-30,
and it is placed in a square, then there is a permanent REST event at that
square
