{{FRWiki article|Planetouched}}
The '''planetouched''' are mortal [[creature]]s whose ancestors were [[extraplanar]] creatures such as [[celestial]]s, [[fiend]]s, or [[elemental]]s. [[Aasimar]], [[tiefling]]s, and [[genasi]] are the primary planetouched races.

Planetouched are considered [[Native (subtype)|native]] [[outsider]]s.

==Notes==
*Obsidian originally classified aasimar and tieflings as a [[human]] subrace, but later corrected them as planetouched. [http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=488686&post=4212332&forum=95]
*Planetouched creatures are not affected by [[turn undead]] in NWN2. [http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=488723&post=4214526&forum=95] PnP planetouched lack the [good] and [evil] subtypes so they should not be effected by such.
*Aasimars and tieflings will not receive [[weapon proficiency (simple)]] and [[weapon proficiency (martial)]] for free (as in [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20060731a&dcmp=ILC-RSSDND PnP DnD]). [http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=490982&post=4239548&forum=95]
*The aasimar and tieflings are playable in the original NWN2. Genasi were added as a playable races in the [[Mask of the Betrayer]] expansion.
*Because the playable planetouched in Neverwinter Nights 2 are effected by spells targeting humanoids and do not gain the outsider weapon proficiencies, they are identical to the lesser planetouched, but are LA +1 like "full" planetouched.
