Level Up (A5E) Planetouched preview

[Waller]

Over on the Facebook group there's a planetouched preview.

OK, so from what I see, the two gifts are Aasimar and Tiefling. This definitely paves the way for me to create Genasi/Jann as additional gifts, as well as other types of Planetouched.

Yep. It opens the design space for all of them.

And so, here's my take on the other types of Planetouched (calling @TheHand and @Steampunkette, since I'm not posting them in my usual thread). As always, critiques are greatly desired!

I think it looks awesome, honestly!

OOh very cool! I will dive into those as opportunity allows!

 

[Faolyn]

Thanks! I have one more heritage and culture in the works, and then we'll see what else pops up.

I read through them and they seem pretty fantastic to me! I didn't see anything I'd change.

I could see the 'official' analogs of all of the heritages but one, I wasn't quite sure who the Bliss mirrored, if anyone. This is purely academic curiosity and not a criticism!

I'm eager to see what you have planned next!

They were mostly inspired by the more chaotic celestials like eladrin (the original ones from Planescape, not the super-fey elves they are nowadays) and lillendi. Since none of those guys are in 5e (and likely won't, in the case of the eladrin), it's a bit harder to come up with a legit parallel. I couldn't think of a better name for them, but will gladly take suggestions!

Oh yes of course! The "asura" would probably fit in there as well.

I'm fine with the Bliss, but if you're looking for a couple of other ideas, but not sure if these really fit:

-Moontouched (inspired by the lillendi being associated with the gate of the moon)
-Mecurials
-Sidereals
