Benefit: Genasi levels now stack with Fighter levels for all abilities and feats that care about Fighter levels, including

Having some free time with vacations, gonna take the chance if I can pump out some more classes. Genasi turned out to be somewhat simple, with just 1 level needed and no overcomplicated abilities. Actually the original are pretty weakish, their stat bonus are zero sum and they only have some situational resistances and limited SLAs. Removed some of the stat penalties, added custom abilities, even a couple of custom feats, and done.
So if you want to play dkinn-based planetouched, the Genasi are for you!
