Warning: The following is a bad opinion that is not in any way based on fact. I’m not attacking your wonderful Aasimar character who I’m sure is super fun to DM for. These are the objectively wrong opinions of one troglodyte, me.
I hate Aasimar. I hate that they all look like they’re all white Jesus with the only defining characteristic besides a megawatt smile is that they sometimes have glowing eyes and wings. I hate that I have to write around these special super humans who are gifted by the heavens for merely existing in a way that isn’t tied to their class. I hate their dumb features that allow them to be pseudo clerics/pseudo paladins without any of the flavor of each. I hate that the excellence of the tiefling being a race of people with complex morals and a strained relationship with the outer planes is contrasted by the literal nephilim dirt bags who have a special super edge form for if they’re evil.
What I would change about Aasimar… everything. They’d all look weird. They’d look like upper planar beings of holy beauty with weird skin tones, perhaps extra eyes, and in contrast to the tieflings soft neutral disposition they’d almost always have extreme alignments. They’d be freakishly tall and have the possibility for interesting character interactions with either the weight of the world forced on them by commoners or being the target of dark cults. I’d change all their subclasses to be based on specific named Angels and get innate spell casting like tieflings do instead of super forms. I wouldn’t let them be half fliers so I have to keep reiterating that yes in my games that don’t allow flying races at level 1 they’re still not allowed.
This is my rant, it is dumb and incorrect. I’d love to hear your opinions on the subject but please don’t respond with vitriol to me as a person for my bad opinions.
