this.For some of us, the idea of the Aasimar, Tiefling and Genasi being made into templates that we could then slap onto a Material Plane species would have been cool. For others though, we would miss having these planetouched races being their own thing despite their physical similarities to the Material Plane species in our playing sessions.
As for my earlier posting about returning the Eladrin to their original Celestial roots, I am okay with how they are now presented in 5e. I just wish that WoTC had come up with a new group of CG Celestials to replace them with for 5e. Did anyone homebrew up a replacement?
1st level "heritage" feats to become:
Aasimar,
Tiefling,
Dragonborn,
Warforged,
Shifter,
Genasi,
Dhampir,
you can only have one heritage feat(maybe 2 as human), at can normally be taken only as 1st level feat.
Possible story rewards could be granting those feats later on.
I.E:
you perform big quest for your deity and you are granted "ascension" as Aasimar.
or Red wizards of Thay decided to turn you into their slave-guardian as Warforged and you escaped.
or weak lycan bit you, but instead of turning to fullblood lycan, you are now shifter intead.
