Can an NPC dismiss a PC Aasimar / Tiefling?

[Todd Lower]

If the BBEG casts dismissal on a PC Aasimar/Tiefling what happens?

[Rogue Eidolon]

Nothing, they aren't extraplanar. Unless they're in Hell or the Hao Jin Tapestry or something. Then it works on any kind of PC.

[MrSin]

Nothing. They're native outsiders. Their respective planes aren't the Elysium or Hell, its the same one humans and dwarves are from.

OK, but they are outsiders. How is that different?

[Rogue Eidolon]

Why would it be different? The spell doesn't have the word outsider in it anywhere, just extraplanar.

Because dismissal has nothing to do with outsiders, just with extraplanar creatures.

This spell forces an extraplanar creature back to its proper plane if it fails a Will save. If the spell is successful, the creature is instantly whisked away, but there is a 20% chance of actually sending the subject to a plane other than its own.

The "proper plane" for Outsider(native) is the Material plane.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks.

They are Outsiders (native) which means they're native to Golarian. It's the extra planar equivalent of 'great grandpa was from China, that's why I have these cool eyes, but I grew up in in Texas and have this cool accent.'

The difference is that "outsider" is a creature type that dismissal doesn't care about, while "extraplanar" is a subtype that is applied to any creature that is on a plane other than its own regardless of creature type and is what dismissal explicitly deals with.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I have my NPCs dismiss tieflings all the time.

And they pay attention, that's impressive.

I'm betting that sometimes they make the save...
