Planetouched

Planetouched are mortal creatures whose lineages trace back to outsiders, including celestials, fiends and elementals. Outsiders who can reproduce tend to be inter-fertile, therefore being able to mate with just about any other creature they desire. If the offspring of these unusual unions proves to be itself fertile, within a few generations planetouched will be born.

There are many different types of Planetouched:

• Aasimar are descended from celestials
• Axani are descended from lawful outsiders
• Azerblood are descended from shield dwarves and azers
• Baphitaurs are the result of magical experiments in breeding tieflings with minotaurs
• Cansin are descended from chaotic outsiders
• Celadrin are descended from elves and celestial eladrin^[1]
• Chaonds are descended from slaadi
• D'hin'ni are descended from lightfoot halflings and djinn
• Fey'ri are descended from elves and demons
• Genasi and Para-genasi are descended from elemental creatures, usually genies
• Maeluth are descended from dwarves and devils
• Mechanatrixes are descended from Inevitables
• Mur-Zhagul are descended from trolls and demons
• Shadowswyfts are descended from creatures from the Plane of Shadow
• Shyfts are descended from beings from the Ethereal Plane
• Tanarukk are desended from orcs and fiends
• Tieflings are descended from fiends
• Worghest are descended from goblins and barghests
• Wisplings are descended from halflings and demons
• Zenythris are descended from an unknown race or lawful outsiders
