Homebrew Eldritch Planetouched Species Details
The eldritch planetouched is most likely the outcome of two opposed planetouched, such as an aasimar coupling with a tiefling - or more rarely this can be the result of a fiendish demigod's carnal interests with a mortal, usually human.
You likely have minimal, but noticeable traits from both bloodlines - such as:
- Skin tones of grey, albino white, jet black, or maroon.
- Small or budding horns, pointed ears, shiny yellow irises or pupils, cleft chin or prominent bone structure
- A vestigial tail or pair of wings (rarely), thick pointed nails.
Eldritch Planetouched Traits
Planetouched share certain racial traits as a result of their fiendish and/or celestial descent.Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2. One other ability score of your choice increases by 1.
Age
Planetouched typically mature to adulthood at the same rate as humans (sometimes faster!) - after adulthood little can be said to be true about their lifespans, often owing to the individuals unique ancestry.
Alignment
Eldritch planetouched typically embody the dual nature of their heritage and tend to struggle with conflicting desires and motivations, especially if they are adopted by neither parent and left with little but the winds of chaos to guide them. Others are bred for a purpose and tutelage and as such will tend to focus on a single nature in the extreme.
