Such as the elan.Without the race entry denying abilities from type it gets them.Otherwise, we do not know if the planetouched needs to eat or drink, it is unspecified. Otherwise, it would be unimportant to even have native list that they can be raised since all you would have to do is not put the line in the racial description.Plus, it would make typing much less useful. It is used as a way to cut down on a bit of text and as easy reference. In this case you are trying to take away some of the easy reference and add in a lot of, currently, unnecissary text.Racial abilities + abilities gained from type are the baseline of the character. Sometimes type changes, usually when it does the ability that changed it specifies anything that you do not get with that change.</blockquote>
