 | | I believe the different kinds of planetouched are descended from a different kind of outsider (assaimar - celestial, tiefling - demon/devil, genasi - elemental-related outsiders.) That's what makes sense to me, unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you're asking. |
 | | The vast majority of those deity descended planetouched in FR however are descended from celestial or fiendish servents of those deities (except for aasimar/tieflings of Untheric or Mulhorandi descent, given the deities of those pantheons/cultures were manifested for a few thousand years in quasi-avatar form on Toril itself, and had wives, husbands, lovers, families, etc). |
 | | For instance a tiefling might have certain traits if they were 2 generations or so removed from an Osyluth, or an Arcanaloth, or a Glabrezu, etc. 3e only has general tieflings and generic aasimar. |
