Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinnguard" data-source="post: 9025021" data-attributes="member: 7033886">What if the Planetouched Heritage in A5e was composed of three closely related lineages? A Celestial lineage (Aasimar), a Fiendish lineage (Tiefling) and an Elemental lineage (Genasi) This idea came to me after I bought Purple Martin Games' Manual of Adventurous Resources: Wilderness, and I got to look at the Goblinoid heritage. Each of the Planetouched lineages would work like a heritage by presenting a set of commonly shared traits (age, size, speed, Darkvision plus one or two signature abilities). So all of the Celestial Planetouched, for instance, would have their own set of signature abilities that would set them apart from those of the Fiendish and Elemental Planetouched. With regards to gifts, I think each lineage would have their own set of gifts that point to a particular ancestry among the celestials, fiends and elementals. The Celestial Planetouched could have gifts that tie them to angels, archons, guardinals or even the couatls. The Fiendish Planetouched could have gifts to tie them to devils, demons, daemons or demodands. As for the Elemental Planetouched, I am kind of torn between them having gifts that tie to a particular kind of elemental such as a genie or a mephit, or gifts that point to a particular element and it's permutations (ex. Earth- Metal, Crystal, Sand, etc.) I would like to see the former only because it's never been done before for the Genasi. It always seems like that the latter is done for them.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😋" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60b.png" title="Face savoring food    :yum:" data-shortname=":yum:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
