Aasimar are one of three core Planetouched player races in Dungeons & Dragons, alongside their counterparts the Tiefling and the Genasi. Descendants of unions between mortals and angels, aasimar are characterized primarily by their tendency towards physical perfection and their natural inclination towards the goodly alignments. Whilst they may bear physical manifestations of their divinely-touched lineage, these are never freakish and usually tend to be quite subtle; hair the color of silver or gold, metallic-colored eyes, ivory-white skin, or a beautifully melodious voice are mentioned, though more drastic features are possible, such as regal tails, birdlike or leonine lower bodies, and vestigial wings. Needless to say, their ancestry gives them a strong inherent affinity for the Paladin and Cleric classes.

Aasimar are uncommon on the Prime MaterialPlane, but are vastly more common in Sigil and on the Upper Planes.

Eladrin are elves native to the Feywild, a realm of unpredictability and boundless magic. At your DM’s option, you can select eladrin as the subrace for an elf character, instead of one of the elf subraces in the Player’s Handbook. An aasimar, except for one who has turned to evil, has a link to an angelic being. That being-usually a devaprovides guidance to the aasimar, though this connection functions only in dreams. As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.

Like pretty much every planetouched, aasimar tend to be portrayed as human + angel, with the occasional handwave by the designers that 'aasimar traits are dominant' and thusly an elven or dwarven aasimar would still have the same statblock. For a rare exception to this, see the Celadrin, an elf/eladrin aasimar variant.

Aasimar Controversies[edit]

None of the planetouched have been free of their controversies, but aasimar arguably got hit a little harder than their cousins from the Lower Planes and the Elemental Planes did. The big issues are two-fold:

Firstly, some argue that aasimar actually manage to be even bigger Mary Sues than the tieflings do. After all, their description comes with many standard traits of the dreaded Sue actually written in, such as being incredibly beautiful, instantly likable without even trying, and are almost always good guys/girls. Yes, they are the literal children of angels, but even so, there are complaints that they get slathered with a bit too much authorial loving. Though, ironically, they also tend to get the shaft compared to tieflings in terms of actual story focus, so go figure.

Secondly, some argue that the aasimar are.. well, to put it bluntly, that they're boring. They're not alone in this, genasi get the same accusation thrown their way, but it is noted by some that their fluff does tend towards painting them in a generic 'they're good because they're born to it, they're always the goody two-shoes race', and some find this less inspiring than the tieflings and their struggle to define themselves despite the expectations others have about them due to their ancestry and despite the temptations of their dark heritage. Also, let's be honest, there are a lot of angst edge-lords in this hobby who think grimdark = deep and noblebright = boring. It's about the same way Batman gets spoken of in hushed, orgasmic tones while Superman is sneered at for being a 'boyscout,' despite both being loaded down with Sue-traits.

In fact, this attitude is common enough that even WoTC gave it a nod, which led to the temporary replacement of aasimars with the deva race in 4th edition. When discussing adding them to 5e early on, Mike Mearls specifically called attention to this complaint, and expressed a desire to avoid it, since he was a fan and didn't want them to be 'boring.'

In AD&D[edit]

Unlike tieflings, who lucked into being part of the original Planescape boxed set, aasimar didn't come out until two years later. Whether or not this had any impact on their popularity vs. tieflings is anybody's guess. Aasimar were part of the expanded planar racial PC offerings presented in the Planewalker's Handbook, alongside the Genasi and the Rogue Modron, where they came with the following stats:

Ability Score Minimum/Maximum: Strength 8/18, Dexterity 5/18, Constitution 5/18, Intelligence 11/18, Wisdom 11/18, Charisma 13/18

Ability Score Adjustments: +1 Strength OR +1 Charisma, +1 Wisdom, -2 Constitution

Class & Level Restrictions: Fighter 14, Ranger 14, Paladin 14, Wizard 14, Cleric 12, Druid 15, Thief 15, Bard 9

Multiclass Options: Fighter/Priest, Fighter/Mage, Fighter/Bard, Ranger/Mage, Ranger/Priest, Mage/Priest, Mage/Thief, Mage/Bard, Priest/Bard

Thieving Skill Adjustments: +10% Find/Remove Traps, +5% Move in Shadows, +10 Hide in Shadows, +5% Detect Noise

Infravision 60 feet

+1 to Surprise checks

Halve damage from Heat and Cold attacks

+2 bonus to saves vs. magical Charm, Fear, Emotion and Domination effects.

Non-Wizard aasimar have Magic Resistance 10%

Alignment Restriction: Any Non-Evil

The Not-So-Legendary Aasimar Tables[edit]

As mentioned above, aasimar, like tieflings, were given a fluff as being a very mutable 'bastard' race, but not the stats to back it up.. at least, in their initial publication. In the relatively obscure 'Warriors of Heaven' sourcebook, which also detailed the celestial races and even made PC race options out of them, the Aasimar finally received what the tieflings had back in the Planeswalker's Handbook; randomization tables. However, these were actually presented as being for aasimar NPCs and so very little attention was given to using them to customize PCs; a single sentence saying that a player could give up their default 50% resistance to heat & cold for 1 roll on the Aasimar Abilities table was all the info we were given. Of course, nothing stopped/stops a DM from simply stealing the Tiefling randomization rules (make 1d4 rolls on Appearance and give up the heat/cold resistance, saving throw bonus and magic resistance to make 5 rolls on Abilities).

In 3e[edit]

Aasimar showed up all over the place in 3e, starting as early as the Monster Manual. Like many other 'human-descendant' races, they made their ultimate appearance in Races of Destiny, which presented their finalized racial statblock. Fluff-wise, they were basically unchanged from 2e.

+2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma

Outsider (Native)

Medium

Base land speed 30 feet

Darkvision 60 feet

Daylight (Sp): 1/day as either a 1st level caster or a caster of class level, whichever is higher.

Resistance 5 to Acid, Cold and Electricity.

+2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot.

Favored Class: Paladin

Level Adjustment: +1

Like most exotic races, nothing they had was really worth that level adjustment, especially compared to the bonus feat Humans got.

Player's Guide to Faer没n introduced the 'Lesser Planetouched' variant rule, wherein ALL planetouched, be they Aasimars, Tieflings, Genasi, or whatever, and regardless of whether they were players or NPCs, counted as 'Humanoid (Planetouched)' rather than as 'Outsider (Native)', thus cutting them off from Darkvision, martial weapon proficiencies, the ability to take outsider forms with polymorph spells, immunity to 'person' spells, and nothing else of importance, in exchange for dropping the level adjustment. This was widely misinterpreted as a subrace that individual players could take during character-creation, leading to a lot of skub.

In Pathfinder[edit]

In Pathfinder, it's noted that a lot of Aasimar actually tend to go evil either because superstitious yokels tend to pile on emotional trauma and guilt until they snap by constantly harassing them for 'blessings' that the aasimar can't actually give, or because they realize everyone automatically expects them to be capital-G Good Guys/Girls and so they can easily manipulate people. This is yet another way in which Pathfinder likes to present itself as the GrimDark D&D equivalent setting. They can have lots of different possible starting types, depending on which kind of celestial they descended from. Interestingly, supplements explicitly encourage white-hot holy-on-unholy action by stressing the odd sense of kinship most aasimar feel for their similarly-bullshit-cultural-expectation-wracked fiend-blooded counterparts.

Notably, the very first Golarion Adventure Path, Rise of the Runelords, made before Pathfinder was a game in its own right rather than an extension of the 3.5 system, features an aasimar as the main villain for the first module, who, after a lifetime of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of her foster father, the town priest, and after being knocked up and abandoned by a passing rake, swore her soul to Lamashtu and began mutating into a monster.

Naturally, the Pathfinder Aasimar sourcebook, 'Blood of Angels' follows the same plans as the Tiefling sourcebook 'Blood of Fiends', giving a D100 table for alternative traits to replace the vanilla aasimar's spell-like ability, and racial variants for aasimar recognizably tied to one of the existing celestial races - Agathions, Angels, Archons, Azata, Garudas and Peris. It also states that as Tieflings have increased in number as a result of the Worldwound and Cheliax bringing a shit ton of fiends to the material plain Aasimar have also increased in numbers for some unknown reason. It also states Aasimar are not only those with celestial ancestors, but also children born of miraculous and normally impossible births whose parents prayed for children (old, infertile, incompatible races ect.). There's a sidebar that mentions the old 'Aasimar of all races use the same statistics', but adds one wrinkle that small races produce Aasimar that are small size with no other stats changes. Note that the lower strength and speed of most small races isn't actually an inherit part of being small, so small Aasimar are strong and quick for their size. The Kingmaker video game has a minor NPC mention that just having celestials and consecrated stuff around the parents can result in children being born Aasimar.

Statwise, the Pathfinder Aasimar looks like this:

+2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma

Outsider (Native)

Medium

Base speed 30 feet

Darkvision 60 feet

Skilled: +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy & Perception checks.

Spell-Like Ability: Daylight 1/day with caster level equal to the aasimar's character level.

Celestial Resistance: Aasimar have Resistance 5 against Acid, Cold and Electricity.

Pathfinder Aasimar Strains[edit]

Idyllkin are descendants of Agathions, the Pathfinder equivalent of Guardinals, which gives them slight bestial physical traits (think 'divine catgirl' to the Agathion's 'divine catfolk') and a natural prediliction for the Neutral Good alignment. They have a tendency to be nomadic and feel a strong connection with nature, tending to be druids or nature clerics more than the traditional aasimar affinity for paladins. An Idyllkin changes its ability modifiers to +2 Constitution and +2 Charisma, its Skillful bonuses apply to Handle Animal and Survival, and its Spell-like Ability is Summon Nature's Ally II. They can also take the racial traits Enlightened Warrior (can become a Monk with a True Neutral or Neutral Good alignment) and Speech of the Wilds (gain one extra language).

Angelkin descend from angels, which in Pathfinder are their own kind of 'Any Good Celestial'. These guys take the Mary Sue aspect of the aasimar and crank it up notch, being described as 'mortal paragons of exceptional beauty'. Ironically, they're noted for being the one aasimar strain most racist against tieflings, despite their personal belief in embracing the idea of harmony. An Angelkin changes its ability modifiers to +2 Strength and +2 Charisma, its Skillful bonuses apply to Heal and Knowledge (Planes), and its Spell-like Ability is Alter Self. They can also take the race traits Celestial Tracker (+1 trait bonus to Survival checks made to track, ignore 24 hours since they were made) and Planetar's Vision (critical melee weapon hits against ignore damage reduction equal to the critical multiplier of your weapon).銆x80Their stats adjustments make them ideal for Paladin, battle Oracle, or Bloodrager, especially since most the other races with bonuses to charisma and strength are dumb and make the limited skill points worse.

Lawbringers descend from Archons, meaning that at best they're champions of justice, and at worst they struggle with which is stronger; their need for order or their need for good. They tend to be naturally patient, disciplined, and skillful, but they prefer routines and are uncomfortable outside of a clear hierarchy. A Lawbringer changes its ability modifiers to +2 Constitution and +2 Wisdom, its Skillful bonuses apply to Intimidate and Sense Motive, and its Spell-like Ability is Continual Flame. They can also take the race traits Good Influence (+1 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks made to convince non-good creatures to act good and non-lawful creatures to act lawful; this stacks) and Lantern Spirit (Continual Flame can be cast as a Move Action). Decent Clerics and Warpriests, but the real prize is that as an SLA Continual Flame has no cost. No other race in the game has a built in 'make 54.99 GP a day for nothing' from level one.

Musetouched descend from the Azata, Pathfinder's version of Eladrins, and this makes them both extremely capricious and, ironically, one of the aasimars best able to blend in. They tend to easily pass as beautiful and graceful elves or half-elves, for obvious reasons. Possessed of wanderlust and natural talents in music, which means many become bards, they are particularly opposed to tyranny. They have a rather strong resemblance to the Celadrin, elven/firre planetouched who first surfaced in the pages of Dragon Magazine. A Musetouched changes its ability modifiers to +2 Dexterity and +2 Charisma, its Skillful bonuses apply to Diplomacy and Perform, and its Spell-like Ability is Glitterdust. They can also take the racial traits Bralani's Step (once per day, increase distance covered by a move action by +5 feet) and Lillend's Harp (+1 trait bonus on Perform (String) checks, increases to +2 when using string instruments to make a Bardic Performance). Naturally perfect for Sorcerer, Bard and Oracle.

Plumekith descend from the Garuda, noble but impetuous celestials who resemble humanoid birds with beautifully colored plumage. Like their parents, Plumekith tend to be noble but very impulsive, and grow feathers; sometimes in vestigial wings on their backs or arms, sometimes in place of hair. Like garuda, they tend to have a very intense hatred for snakes and serpentine monsters. A Plumekith changes its ability modifiers to +2 Dexterity and +2 Wisdom, its Skillful bonuses apply to Acrobatics and Fly, and its Spell-like Ability is See Invisibility. They can also take the race traits Snake Hater (+2 trait bonus to Knowledge (Dungeoneering), which is always a class skill for you) and Toxophilite (+2 trait bonus on attack rolls made to confirm critical hits with bows).

Emberkin descend from the Peri, former devils who redeemed themselves and were transformed into angels that resemble white-skinned humanoids with wings of fire. It goes without saying that emberkin tend to have 'igneous' features, from bright yellow eyes to flames that flicker amongst their hair. Whilst many feel an insatiable need to perform good, just as many feel the exact opposite; emberkin are noted as the aasimar strain most likely to revolt against their heavenly ancestry and embrace evil, which presumably makes them the aasimar most sympathetic towards tieflings. An Emberkin changes its ability modifiers to +2 Intelligence and +2 Charisma, its Skillful bonuses apply to Knowledge (Planes) and Spellcraft, and its Spell-like Ability is Pyrotechnics. They can also take the race traits Burnished Skin (+2 trait bonus on saving throws to disbelieve illusions) and Pyromancer (+1 trait bonus on damage rolls for fire spells). Nothing uses Charisma and Intelligence except Arcanist.

In 4e[edit]

Warframe is radiation dmg good for mac. You saw that bit above about how 4e dumped aasimar for Devas? Yeah, that's not entirely true.

See, whilst not referred to by name, 'The Ecology of the Deva' in Dragon Magazine #374 featured the fact that Devas can interbreed with other races, which produces offspring who are of the non-deva's race, but inherently touched by their angelic heritage - which is the very literal definition of what aasimar are. This was supported by the Bloodline feat 'Deva Heritage', which lets you play one of these angel-touched mortals.

'Deva Heritage' grants you a new racial daily utility called Astral Splendor (so long as you are not bloodied, you can enter a stance that causes you to shed light in a 6 square radius and inflicts a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you), as well as a +2 to all Perception & Insight checks against angels, devils, devas and rakshasas. It also means you qualify for either of two feats; Heavenly Heritage (gain temp HP equal to your Wis bonus when you take Cold or Fire damage) and Radiant Recovery (gain temp HP equal to your Con bonus if you get hit or hurt by an attack that causes Radiant damage).

In 5e[edit]

Aasimar returned to 5e in the DMG as the sample race for showcasing the 'build a race' rules. They're basically Tieflings flipped to a more Celestial aspect, complete with sharing the same +1 Mental Stat (Wisdom, for Aasimar) +2 Charisma bonus, Darkvision, Damage Resistance (Necrotic + Radiant) and spell-like abilities at level 1 (Lights), 3 (Lesser Restoration) and 5 (Daylight) format. They were recently voted one of the three most-popular races for a new D&D expansion to create in detail, with Mike Mearls professing they were his favorite race and that he really wanted to do them right because, in his own words, there's a tendency to make the good guys boring.

The first 'official' release of the 5e aasimar didn't happen until November 2016, when they were one of the player races added in the Forgotten Realms-based 'Volo's Guide to Monsters'. This version takes them a good way away from the 'radiant tiefling' ruleset, giving them new lore that described each aasimar has a celestial guide or deva who speaks to them through dreams, exhorting them to do good.. often in a very harsh and inflexible way (this is the cure for 'Aasimar being boring'. It works.) They have three subraces, that gain special abilities at third level: the Protector aasimar, who gets +1 Wisdom and can sprout wings and fly around dealing extra radiant damage on their spell and weapon attacks; the Scourge aasimar, who gets +1 Constitution and can turn into a living divine sunlamp that deals Radiant damage to everyone around them,including themself; and the Fallen Aasimar, who, having turned to evil, gets +1 Strength, causes fear in others, and deals Necrotic damage instead.

These feats are meant to complement those released in the Racial Feats article by Wizards of the Coast. Each of the feats are tied to races released in offical Wizards of the Coast releases of some kind; the Unearthed Arcana series of articles, the Dungeon Master's Guide, or other sources (not including Volo's Guide to Monsters).
