Native Outsider (Planetouched) Base Races
Hybrid native outsiders have these additional
rules.
-
An
Outsider (native) base race may be combined with another Outsider (native) or a
Humanoid (or a base race with a different type from one of the forthcoming articles)
for the normal 1 RP cost of creating a hybrid race.
-
An
Outsider (native) hybrid has the Outsider (native) type and subtype, as well as
any other subtypes of the other integrated base race.
-
Duplicate
traits (such as the Outsider (native) type and subtype or darkvision) are still
refunded when creating a hybrid race and both base races have the same essential
traits. For example, if you combine an aasimar and a vertyx, the resulting race
would cost 8 RP (6 RP for aasimar essential traits + 5 RP for vertyx essential traits
+ 1 RP for creating a hybrid race – 1 RP for duplicate Outsider (native) trait –
2 RP for duplicate darkvision trait – 1 RP for duplicate cold resistance 5 trait);
and if you combine a dwarf and an oread the resulting race would cost 4 RP (2 RP
for dwarf essential traits + 3 RP for oread essential traits + 1 RP for creating
a hybrid race – 2 RP for duplicate darkvision trait).

Diverse and often
despised by humanoid society, tieflings are mortals stained with the blood of fiends.

see the state of a creature's soul. They can use deathwatch at will as spell-like
ability.
-
Vestigial Wings (2 RP): Some tieflings possess a pair of undersized, withered, or
stunted wings like a mockery of those of their fiendish forbearer. Sometimes these
wings are leathery, like those of a bat. Other times they are covered with a scattering
of black, red, or violet feathers. Rare manifestations can take even more bizarre
forms. These wings do not provide the lift required for actual flight, but do have
enough power to aid flight attained by some other method, and grant a +4 racial
bonus on Fly skill checks.

Expanded Traits
-
Acid Breath (1 RP): Undines whose outsider heritage can be traced to a water
mephit can wield acid as a weapon. Such an undine has a breath weapon that is a
5-foot cone of acidic water usable once per day. The breath deals 1d8 points of
acid damage per two character levels (maximum 5d8). A Reflex saving throw (DC 10
+ 1/2 the undine's level + the undine's Constitution modifier) halves the damage.

with this racial trait gain the aquatic subtype and amphibious special quality.

of water.
-
Flesh Chameleon (1 RP): Some undines can change their coloration to match human
skin tones. As a standard action, an undine with this racial trait can change her
natural blue hue to match any normal human skin tone, and can revert to normal as
a free action. This grants a +4 racial bonus on Disguise checks to appear human.
-
Hydrated Vitality (3 RP): An undine with this racial trait gains fast healing 2 for
1 round anytime she submerges completely within a body of natural salt water, fresh

this ability. The undine can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this
ability, after which it ceases to function.
-
Nereid Fascination (3 RP): Some undines can trace their ancestry to nereids as well
as to outsiders. Once per day as a standard action, such an undine can create a
20-foot-radius aura that causes humanoids within the aura's range to become fascinated
with her for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 the undine's character level (minimum
1). Targets may resist with a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the undine's level + the undine's
Charisma modifier). This is a supernatural ability.
-
Ooze Breath (1 RP): Some undines' outsider heritage can be traced to ooze mephits.
These undines have a breath weapon that is a 5-foot cone of slime usable once per
day. The slime deals 1d4 points of acid damage per two character levels (maximum
5d4) and sickens creatures in the area for 3 rounds. A successful Reflex saving
throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the undine's level + the undine's Constitution modifier) halves
the damage and negates the sickened effect.

of undines with this racial trait improves to 10.
-
Terrain Chameleon (1 RP): Some undines can change their coloration to blend in with
underwater terrain, mixing browns, grays, and greens to resemble kelp or other natural

She can return to normal as a free action.

Water Sense (1 RP): Undines with this racial trait can sense vibrations in water,
granting them blindsense 30 feet against creatures in contact with the same body
of water.

A vertyx is often
