[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8202761, member: 779"] There has been 2 different varieties of Chaotic Planetouched the malformed Slaad-like Chaond from the 3e MMII and the Manic Pixie Dream Girls (well people) of the Cansin from Dragon 297. Along the way I also thought what if there's Far Realm Planetouched so I do suggest that some might be Cansin too. So I've decided that Cansin is going to be the umbrella term for the chaotic planetouched, as they certainly shouldn't be all toad-people. While it could be a choice of being one or the other, nothing preventing anyone from being a mutant toad-person that's a manic pixie dream girl. [U][SIZE=6][B][U]Cansin[/U][/B][/SIZE][/U] Less common then Tieflings or Aasimar, are the Cansin, who's ancestry can often be traced back to the Chaotic Planes. A Cansin might be descended from the Slaadi, Chaos Beasts, the schemes of Chaotic Gods, Demons purged of Evil, Celestial Eladrin purged of Good, Giants of Muspelheim or other unknowable things. Sometimes it's pure chance the created a Cansin, and there's stories about how a wild night of revelry spontaneously created an infant or an egg in the morning after. Some Cansin might the result of a Far Realm incursion, while it's not a chaotic plane it's differences with reality might cause a chaotic ripple of energy.
