| runestar04-29-07, 11:36 PM | That is, if you can apply one race to another...;) But if you reverse-engineered tiefling into a template, then yes. |
| AMGriffin04-29-07, 11:40 PM | Yeah, the planetouched shouldn't be races, they should be templates. The Draconic template offers just as much (if not more, they make waaay better paladins then Aasimar) as an LA+1 template, and the aasimar and tiefling kinda suck as it is. |
| diphycue04-30-07, 01:16 AM | I agree, planetouched races should be templates... I hate the idea of not getting the human goodies when I play a tiefling or aasimar...Besides, the flavor of those races seem to be just farther removed celestial/fiendish crossbreeds...which should be applicable to races other than human. I mean, if a halfling couple has an aasimar, why is it twice their size? |
| runestar04-30-07, 01:38 AM | It can be argued that an assimar is the specific result of human/celestial breeding. A halfling/celestial offspring might be statistically different. For example, look at the fey'ri, which is the equivalent of an elven tiefling. Tanarruks are effectively orc tieflings(which come with 5 outsider HD), durzagon are duergar/devil specific teiflings etc. This means there could be a hundred different assimar or tiefling variants, one for each base race.:) |
| j3st3r04-30-07, 04:36 AM | Anyone ever heard of Wispling, planetouched descended from halflings and demons? They can be found from Fiend Folio. |
| JellyPooga04-30-07, 05:01 AM | Anyone ever heard of Wispling, planetouched descended from halflings and demons? They can be found from Fiend Folio. No...no I haven't. :P I do think that Aasimar and Tiefling should be templates (all the other Planetouched should be too IMO). The Fey'Ri, Tannaruk, etc. are specific types of planetouched, usually specifically bred for a particular purpose (as opposed to being random or the result of rape and/or marriage) and are all (correct me if I'm wrong) bred from demonic or devillish stock - you don't find any specific Good-Planar Planetouched (like a specific Elf/Celestial, for example). |
| vegetalss404-30-07, 05:44 AM | i actuly have one in the game im running:D |
| Borris04-30-07, 06:29 AM | you don't find any specific Good-Planar Planetouched (like a specific Elf/Celestial, for example). In Dragon magazine #350, there's the Celadrin, elves with the blood of Firre Eladrins. |
| JellyPooga04-30-07, 07:10 AM | Well, I did say "correct me if I'm wrong"...so here I am, sitting here all corrected :P |
| runestar04-30-07, 07:22 AM | Sean Reynolds created a homebrewed race called eladree (http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/monsters/eladreetemplateclass.html), a sun elf/ghaele planetouched. :) |
