Regardless of their origin, it is not terribly rare to find the results of Outsiders choosing to mate with commoners. Whether a deep and abiding love between an angel and a mortal paladin, a calculated breeding program masterminded by the yugoloths to create the next generation of Altaloths, or a human demonologist choosing to bear the offspring of a summoned and magically bound tanar’ri, the hybrid offspring produced will naturally have attributes and powers beyond that of mere mortals.
Half-Outsiders come in many shapes and sizes, although most carry some mark of their otherworldly bloodlines. A half-archon might have feathery wings or glowing eyes, while a half-baatezu may have vestigial horns or patches of chitinous skin.
The lives and upbringings of Half-Outsiders may be even more varied than that of mortals. Some may be shunned and feared by their mortal neighbors, while others, fiendish and celestial alike, are celebrated as blessings from the gods.
(Note: Upon taking the first level of this class, the character is mechanically considered to have begun to exhibit the traits of his bloodline. As he gains levels, he learns to make use of his innate powers, with his racial type eventually turning to Outsider.)
(Note: You will lose your previous racial favored class for purposes of multi-classing.)

Level Adjustment: taking this template class adds a +2 level adjustment to the character it is added to.

Planar Heritage: at 1st level, a Half-Outsider’s bloodline becomes apparent. This is automatically chosen based upon the background feat that gave access to the class.

Darkvision: Half-Outsiders can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Outsider Immunity: Half-Fiends are immune to poison, while Half-Celestials are immune to petrification.

Spell Resistance: At 3rd level, a Half-Outsider gains spell resistance of 11 + character level.
Outsider Magic: At 4th and 6th level, a Half-Outsider gains spell-like abilities specific to his heritage. Additional abilities are gained by a 6th-level Half-Outsider as they continue to grow in power.
Outsider Apotheosis: At 6th level, the Half-Outsider’s racial type changes to Outsider. They may also choose a visual sign of their heritage such as glowing eyes or wings. BUG: The wings currently are purely visual and do not grant the 20% movement speed they should. The glowing eyes grant a permanent true seeing effect (as a toggle). Some of the wings also look weird / don't work well with certain models - I advice testing them out on the test server to make sure they fit well.
