I myself have never been satisfied with how generic the existing planetouched have been, not all tieflings should be slinging darkness, nor should all of them have charisma penalties. Not every aasimar should be capable of creating daylight either. So because of this I picked up a book on the creation of custom planetouched, using these rules as guidelines I will be making a lot and posting them here, and I invite all of you to post your own planetouched here as well, regardless of the base race or their planar origins. I want to see what interesting things we can come up with as a group, as well as some critiquing for the ones that get posted here.
Racial stat blocks, adventure hooks, NPCs, and anything else relating to planetouched should be posted here. The preferred editions are 3.X and Pathfinder, but if you feel like posting for another edition feel free to do so!
My first one is the Meretrix, a planetouched descended from succubi and humans:
Meretrix
A beautiful woman approaches you, her eyes are a bright crimson and her skin without any flaws. She glares at you, and all resistance to her charm seems to melt away.
A descendant of human and succubus, the meretrix is a manipulative and foul being using only words to get what it wants. Those born of this planetouched bloodline usually have the following signs; red eyes, flawless skin, straight white teeth (a very rare sight in a medieval universe), fangs, and a scent like strange perfume.
Most Meretrix become sorcerers, channeling their innate magic and fiendish blood to even greater effect using their sheer force of personality and cunning.
Meretrix Racial Features:
+2 Intelligence, +4 Charisma, -2 Strength. Meretrix are beautiful and have strong personalities, but they also possess a slender frame not suited to the brutality of melee combat or physical labor
Medium Outsider (native)
Charm Person 1/day. This is cast as a sorcerer of the Meretrix’s level, and the DC is 11+ the Meretrix’s charisma modifier
Darkvision 60ft.
Resistance to fire and cold 5
+2 on bluff and diplomacy checks, Meretrix are suave and manipulative in their speech, able to get almost anything they want if they try hard enough
Level Adjustment: +1
Languages: Abyssal, Common; Bonus Languages: Infernal, Elven, Gnomish, Halfling, Orcish, Dwarven, Celestial, Draconic
Favored Class: Sorcerer
