Re: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies
Jinn can definitely interact with the physical world, but all ethereal creatures can do that.
Point is, they are made of smokeless fire, yeah? Everything else that is made-of-fire, or wind for that matter, is ethereal.
Ethereal in this game doesn't mean you can walk through walls; air elementals are ethereal and obviously can't do that. It means that magic is required to harm you reliably, which I'm pretty sure is true of jinn.
But glamour/stealth is clearly more essential to their nature than etherealness, so if they're only going to have one or the other, jinn should have glamour.
