Planetouched is a general word to describe someone who can trace his or her bloodline back to an outsider. This heritage may be celestial, fiendish, or elemental.
The effects of having a supernatural being in one's heritage last for many generations. Although not as dramatically altered as a half-celestial or a half-fiend, planetouched still retain some special qualities.
The most common varieties of planetouched are genasi, aasimar, and tieflings. The genasi have an elemental heritage, influenced by air, earth, fire, or water. Aasimar are humans with some trace of celestial blood in their veins, and tieflings have some fiendishness in their family tree.
