Planetouched

The planetouched are mortal creatures whose ancestors were extraplanar creatures such as celestials, fiends, or elementals. Aasimar, tieflings, and genasi are the primary planetouched races.

Planetouched are considered native outsiders.

Notes

• Obsidian originally classified aasimar and tieflings as a human subrace, but later corrected them as planetouched. [1]
• Planetouched creatures are not affected by turn undead in NWN2. [2] 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 PnP DnD). [3]
• 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.
