A sidebar in the playtest explained that a race called the "Plane-touched" will cover the older 2e Planescape concept of the race. The Plane-touched will have varied abilities and appearances - I'm guessing they might fold the Aasimar and Genasi into the race as well. Of course, that info comes from the playtest, and I suppose plans could change. And we know that this Plane-touched race won't be in the PHB. I could see it in the DMG, or maybe even in something like the Monster Manual or a future, as yet unannounced, product.To my mind this seems like a good compromise - I really liked both the older version of the Tiefling as well as the 4e incarnation.</blockquote>
