Dragonkin are able to use their ancestor’s breath attack; the dragonkin class improves on this and allows the dragonkin to attack with bite and claw attacks, use their wings to fly, and grow in power like their draconic ancestors.

Fairykin are able to fly like their tiny ancestors; the fairykin class allows the fairykin to learn to cast witch and wizard spells, use fairy glamours, change their size, and otherwise survive in the borders between the human and fey realms.

Geniekin are able to manipulate and protect themselves from the elements from whence their ancestors arose; the geniekin class improves upon this ability, enables them to wield the powers of their genie ancestors, and summon elemental entities.
