Planetouched characters are mortal beings whose bloodlines include immortal ancestry. This might be the direct result of those with mortal heritage mating with fiends or angels, or it can be the consequence of a long buried secret — some people have archdevils lurking in their family trees, while others have been blessed by those they have helped.

Regardless of their cause however, most planetouched share a few physical traits with the source of their supernatural bloodline.

The most common reason for planetouched born to nonmagical parents is having an archdevil somewhere in the family tree. Valrathi can be spotted by the horns growing from their skulls and they often have skin colored like their fiendish ancestors, which range over the whole color pallet, some also smelling faintly of sulfur or brimstone.

Planetouched Traits

Age: Planetouched typically mature at the same rate as humans but have longer live spans. Most Planetouched born to non-Planetouched parents tend to mirror their parents life span, but all Planetouched can age to a maximum of 160 years.
Size: Medium (4-7 feet / 120cm - 210cm) or Small (2-4 feet / 60cm - 120cm)
Speed: 30 feet
Darkvision: You have 👁️Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.

Immortal Blessing

Your connection with the source of your bloodline allows you to cheat death. When you would ordinarily be reduced to 0 hit points, you are instead reduced to 1 hit point. You cannot use this trait again until you have finished a long rest.

Hellish Resistance

You have resistance to one of the following damage types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Poison, Psychic, Thunder

Infernal Legacy

You know the ☄️Produce Flame cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast ☄️Hellish Rebuke once per long rest. The damage of that spell resembles the damage type of your Hellish Resistance. At 5th level, you can cast ☄️Darkness without material components once per long rest. INT, WIS or CHA is your Spellcasting ability for those spells (whichever is highest).

Planetouched Gifts

Planetouched can vary wildly from each other depending on their bloodline. In addition to the traits granted by your planetouched heritage, select one of the following heritage gifts to determine the nature of your ancestor:

Fury of the Planes

Your heritage allows you to infuse your attacks with magic from the outer planes. Once per long rest, when you deal damage to a creature with a spell or a weapon attack, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your level. The extra damage is of the same damage type you chose for your Hellish Resistance.

Plane Sight

You inherit the eyesight of your bloodline. You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.

Winged

Sometimes Planetouched children are born with wings. Those wings all look different. They can range from eagle wings to bat wings, or anything in between. You have a fly speed of 30 feet and can hover. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor.

Planetouched Paragon

When you reach 10th level, you are an exemplar of the planetouched, and you gain one of the following features:

Ancestral Assault

Every damage of the type you chose for your Hellish Resistance feature ignores resistance. If a creature is immune to that damage type, it instead takes half damage.

Ancestral Resistance

Your bloodline makes you immune to the damage resistance you chose for your Divine Protection or Hellish Resistance feature.
