===Planetouched===
Those of Aasimar, Tiefling, and Genasi heritage are collectively known as the Planetouched, as an acknowledgement of their otherworldly parentage.


==Planetouched==
===Exotic Races===
The Planetouched races are the result of a union, a couple or a hundred generations ago, of a mortal and an outsider - a resident of one of the other planes of existence. Most (90% or more) are born to humans, as the human race seems to be the most 'inter-fertile' both with other mortal races (witness the half-elf and the half-orc) and, apparently, with outsiders.
Making up a tiny fraction of the population are Changelings, Kobolds, Shifters, and SoulForged.

===General Planetouched Traits===
Unlike most races, the Planetouched are not of the type "Humanoid". They are "Native Outsiders". This gives them the following traits:
* Darkvision 60'
* Spells and effects that affect only humanoids such as charm person or dominate person do not affect planetouched.
* Spells and effects that target extraplanar creatures might affect planetouched creatures. For example, the mace of smiting and the sword of the planes are more effective against outsiders,
* A spell that drives outsiders back to their home planes does not affect planetouched character - Crescent is their home plane.
 
===Planetouched Races===
The Blessed, the Tainted and the Genasi all count as Planetouched.
 
===Planetouched Naming Conventions===
Typically born to human or other mortal parents, the planetouched follow the naming conventions of their parent race(s).
