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
