What I am proposing is a single change that can be applied to all planetouched that will take them from being low-end LA +1s to nice and comfortable LA +1s. My best idea is to give them all Spell Resistance equal to 11 + class levels. Tell me whether this change will propel the planetouched into solidd, firm LA +1, high-end level adjustment +1s, or even unfortunately crosses them over into LA +2 territory. :) Please let's not start a war of inflammation this day, however. :)

Have you forgotten the Darkvision 120ft., the Will save bonus, the fact that the spell-like abilities are not measly, the total immunity to sleep, and the awesome detection? I hope not.

It's a potent ability, and it's not one of those abilities that tends to be worth less or simply worthless within a few levels (like low level SLAs, low end resistances, etc). But otherwise yes, the planetouched tend to be a little underpowered for their +1 LA. It doesn't bother me much though, purely from the flavor bonus they carry with them in a game for a character.
