Aasimar Ascended - expanded/variant race (5e)
I really dislike the idea of Angellic Guides for aasimar that was introduced in Volo's Guide to Monsters. In my opinion¸ aasimar should be good guys because they are (not because some angel keeps guiding them)¸ and they should fall because they stop believing in the good fight (and not because some angel decided that they are no longer worthy). What I do like are the mechanics behind aasimar. I also like the tiefling taxonomy from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes¸ which bases subraces on the layers of Baator. That said¸ I took the aasimar template from VGM¸ made additional subraces for each layer of Mt. Celestia¸ and reflavored the whole thing to not include an Angellic Guide anymore. Enjoy! Made with the Homebrewery. P.P.S. Any comments and feedback are welcome! Especially if someone tries these races out in actual gameplay. Please leave your impressions in the comments below!
