Basic Information

Anatomy

Aasimar can arise among any population of mortals. They resemble their parents, have features that hint at their celestial heritage. These often begin subtle and become more obvious when the aasimar gains the ability to reveal their full celestial nature.

Genetics and Reproduction

If an person has an ancestor in their bloodline chances are they could be one too even if neither of their parents were.

Growth Rate & Stages

They live for up to 160 years

Behaviour

While aasimar are strident foes of evil, they typically prefer to keep a low profile. An aasimar inevitably draws the attention of evil cultists, fiends, and other enemies of good, all of whom would be eager to strike down a celestial champion if they had the chance.

When traveling, aasimar prefer hoods, closed helms, and other gear that allows them to conceal their identities. They nevertheless have no compunction about striking openly at evil. The secrecy they desire is never worth endangering the innocent.
