	As the Jin can shapeshift, their default form can vary from a tiny-sized humanoid to a huge-sized giant. However, their default form will be the form they take when their shapeshifting ability is not in use. The player will have to decide what base size category they want their Jin to be normally and then stick with it until they gain the ability to change their default form. Ideally a Medium-sized Jin will be favourable for most situations but a Giant-sized Jin can use shapeshifting to shrink down when desired. A smaller Jin can use levitation and free-light to trivialize terrain that would hinder a smaller character.

	The Jin are somewhat of a trickster race skirting around the cultures and customs of the material races. Their humanoid form can vary from close-to-human to something distinctly alien in appearance, the Jin's form is subject to the cognition of their environment and their self-image. Although the Jin can change their appearance to suit their situation, their default form is the only size and shape they can maintain without concentration, akin to muscle-memory. Their distance from traditional races and culture can give Jin a kind of 'stranger in a strange land' vibe, while more savvy Jin will intentionally obfuscate their understanding for their own amusement.

However, their default form will be the form they take when their shapeshifting ability is not in use. The player will have to decide what base size category they want their Jin to be normally and then stick with it until they gain the ability to change their default form. Ideally a Medium-sized Jin will be favourable for most situations but a Giant-sized Jin can use shapeshifting to shrink down when desired. A smaller Jin can use levitation and free-light to trivialize terrain that would hinder a smaller character.

	==Roleplaying Suggestions==		==Roleplaying Suggestions==
	...		The Jin are somewhat of a trickster race skirting around the cultures and customs of the material races. Their humanoid form can vary from close-to-human to something distinctly alien in appearance, the Jin's form is subject to the cognition of their environment and their self-image. Although the Jin can change their appearance to suit their situation, their default form is the only size and shape they can maintain without concentration, akin to muscle-memory. Their distance from traditional races and culture can give Jin a kind of 'stranger in a strange land' vibe, while more savvy Jin will intentionally obfuscate their understanding for their own amusement.

	'''~~Duergar~~ Adventurers'''		'''Jin's Object, and Mortal Possession'''
	...		A Jin's personal object is very important to them, whether it be a lamp, a gemstone, book or other magical item. It is necessary to protect them from effects that might banish them away from the material plane and also where they can draw more strength and energy when they are drained. They can also possess the object to hide from sight. If a mortal gains possession of the object while the Jin is inside, they can summon and command the Jin as if they were a conjured creature; akin to a master summoning a Genie and allowing the mortal to give them basic commands that do not harm the Jin or its self-preservation. Most Jin do not wish to serve random strangers and will try to reclaim their item from their possessor at the earliest opportunity. A Jin must follow commands as phrased and not necessarily in the spirit of the command. Some Jin may want to have a mortal master if they like and care for them, in which case the Jin becomes the master's guardian Jin and will protect and serve them until the master's demise.

			'''Jin Adventurers'''
			As Jins are usually filled with wanderlust, they are quick to become solo adventurers. The trick is the motivation for a Jin to join a party of adventurers in cooperation. A free Jin may join a party for the fun of it, or what the party might achieve together. Sealed Jin may require one of the other party members to release them from their personal-object and either in gratitude or reluctance, join the party until they can be released from their ally's control. A Jin adventurer can be driven towards curiosity or a need for mortals to anchor them to the material realm.<br>
			An adventuring party that manages to recruit a Jin that honestly wants to help them out will receive a boon in the form of an outsider with dense magical power. A Jin is versatile in magic, stealth and depending on their size and skills, a strong front-line fighter. Though the party will have to be careful because if their Jin friend is on the receiving end of a banishment, they may lose them forever; at least on the material-plane. The party should also respect the Jin because there's nothing more sinister than a Jin with a grudge, they're not known as tricksters for nothing!
