[@Lucius Cypher] so, can my persona be a monster? Or does it have to have playable race blocks like in Volo's guide? Cause it'd be dope to have like a minor elemental as my persona. Not like the Genasi but like an actual small elemental.

Flavor wise they don't necessarily have to be humanoid, but for the sake of balance I would like the "race" they gain their abilities and such from to be playable races. For example if you want some sort of lava monster type persona, I don't mind if they're effectively just a reskinned Fire Genasi, but I'd rather not homebrew a race for just for a lava monster.
