  • Aasimar 5e Race Guide: www.skullsplitterdice.com/blo...
    Aasimar are the angelic answer to tieflings as they are the offspring of humans and celestial beings. The aasimar 5e are bastions of divine power, both human and at once otherworldly. The power of celestial good runs through their veins, but just as not all tieflings are evil, not all aasimars embrace their divine origins. They waited in the wings for a while but now Critical Role’s Yasha Nydoorin has brought aasimars into the spotlight. Playing an aasimar can be a perfect excuse for triumphant paladin-esque righteousness or self-reflective moral conflicts. Ascend Mt. Celestia with us as we go through everything you need to know.

    About the scourge aasimar you forgot to mention their secondary effect from radiant consumption, the secondary effect is that once per turn when you damage a creature you can add additional damage equal to your level so if you hit a creature with either a spell that does damage or with an attack they will end up taking 1.5x you level of additional damage. Also for a build involving scourge aasimar might I suggest a zealot barbarian.

    currently in my campaign I'm playing a Zariel descend tiefling who is a celestial warlock who has fully embraced her more uhm violent tendencies but always directs them at evil creatures while our sorcerer its playing a divine soul scourge assimar who is completely terrified of his own powers and tries to supress (not use his damaging spells) them trying to only heal and support.
    I think they are are pretty great foil to one another.

    I am creating a Protector Aasimar Paladin with a folk hero background for a Theros campaign. I am currently playing a Protector Aasimar Cleric with an Acolyte background. I love how the Aasimar race and protector subrace bonuses complement both the cleric and Paladin classes. The video detailed the major points about an Aasimar.

    I've played a Drunken Master Monk Protector Aasimar once, Vayne.
    He wasn't aware he was an Aasimar until demons attacked him and burned his home. The Deva started talking with him, explaining that he was chosen as a Paragon of Light and his arch-nemesis was trying to kill him before he got stronger and... He refused to take part in it.
    He decided he wasn't a pawn in Celestial Warfare and run. He drowned himself in cheap beer, until a Drunken Master found him and saw the wasted potential of a Celestial wasting his life away, so he decided to train Vayne, not to be a pawn of celestials or demons, but to be strong for himself and be able to chose what to do with the life that was given.
    At the end of the campaign he ended up making amends with the Deva, but never accepted being a pawn. He and his party fought the Baalor that was his deva's arch-nemesis because a creature that evil needed to be stopped, but he got powerful enough to be able to defend his friends and live how he saw fit, instead of taking orders from divine beings.
    It was an awesome character and campaign. Since Aasimars don't start with any bonuses to Dexterity, he started with 14 Dex and 16 Wis, which isn't optimal but it isn't that bad either and I took the Tough feat along the way, to embrace that physical and spiritual training of the Monk, being able to use his body as a weapon to fight his foes.

    Im playing a really big campaign, we had to create a master system to have 4 factions play in the same world none of which know of the others. Other player are tought to be Boss or NPC and we will meet them during the war at the end.
    The campaign is clearly invented by us and the rules are varied but the beauty of dnd is that.
    The campaign places the aasimars in a kingdom destroyed by the forger of the world itself due to some events concerning a player and his background.
    I play as Apollo, the helper of one of the factions, whose leaders are the players and I am the guardian angel of the player who guides this ideal.
    I will update you on how it turns out
    For now our factiom Need to take all the mana we can from leaving being to go back in time whit a chronomancwr and make the fall of celestial never happend. But the other 3 party see US as some kind of Demon like army that drains mana from all that is alive

    A protector aasimar paladin, with an oath of devotion to the party's warlock. The party's celestial warlock's patron is the aasimar paladin. The holy symbol and arcane focus are their wedding bands. The paladins oath of devotion and warlock's pact is their wedding vows. They're fighting evil with the power of love.

    I am actually playing a Variant Aasimar already in a game and to be honest... besides learning I missed on flying or bursting with light... I see the "Variant Aasimar" as the perfect subrace to rolaplay a champion of a diety that is not necessarily "Good" but still it lawful...
    Variant Aasimars make good Warlocks, as healing hands are nice IMO with little spell slots and the same goes for their lesser restoration ability, while Daylight is the only ability I wouldn't really care about, but don't mind that it is there... I can imagine using it in my favor to scare people, or something...

    In my cousin's setting, the Aasimar, aestheticswise are more akin to the spirits in some anime called Date A Live. This is so as my group has a beffudling tendency to make their Aasimar as cutesy as possible and to the point of parodying mahout shoujos. My cousin even gave them a "inverse" mechanic or the "fallen state" just to be done with it.

  • @grizzlednerd4521
    @grizzlednerd4521 Рік тому +1

    It's up to your DM, but don't get too tied into locking-in setting elements of some of the race choices. Given they mechanically have darkvision, an aasimar could potentially be based on a huge selection of racal stock. e.g. a fallen aasimar that's reskinned as a teifling or a scourge aasimar re-skinned as a high elf (with a strong dose of the blood of Corellon) both work great imo. In fact a fallen aasimar mechanically could work with any "fallen" type of character. e.g. it could be a symptom of the PC's warlock pact (Celestial and Fiend come to mind).
    I had a DM who was fine with me re-skinning a winged teifling as an aasimar. Mechanically a winged teifling, but the appearance of an angelic being.

    Forst time playing an aasimar, im making him a barbarian. His backstory used to be a knoght of the order because his deva told him to join it. My character would stick to the oath pledged in the knoght order he pledged to a tea and in this order hed have to kill anyone who didnt abide by their rules.
    He made a friend that wasnt a knight and they were good friends for wuite a while until he found out his friend had broken one of the oaths and He had to be killed by the hands of citrine (my character). After this incident it made him rethink the values of good and evil and he decided what makes a person evil is their willingness to kill an innocent person. He tries his best to stay true to his code but even though hes grown so much he still hates rvil with a passion and will kill anyone at all costs if they do kill an innocent person. This side of himself scares him because he knows that he killed innocent people in the past with the excuse that they were evil and he fears he’ll kill a person who does not deserve it.

    the angel was a warrior for good but had to do a lot of shady shit during his fight...like see his fellow angels kill innocent baby just because they were teafling or half demons ...then he rebels but didn't end well as a angel is immortal so they sealed him in a newborn baby who parents die during this war and let him to die...was saved and reased by elves but he have to live in isolation as a hermit because people want him dead...and he doesn't know why he haven't realize yet he have a angel sealed inside
