Jann are genies composed of all four elements, meaning they are not quite home on any of the Elemental Planes. Instead, jann reside on the Material Plane, making only brief forays to the other parts of the Inner Sphere. Although they are human in size and appearance, jann are not at all related to humans and bristle at any claims to this effect. They are a proud people and take great care to maintain their honor-restoring that honor with the edge of a sword, if necessary. A unique type of genie

Abilities
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical) — A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.

Change Size (arcane, concentrate, polymorph) — Frequency Once per day.
Effect The janni changes a creature's size. This works as a 4th-rank Enlarge or Shrink spell but can target an unwilling creature (DC 21 Fortitude save negates).
