Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
As a general rule, aasimar were a wise and charismatic race, possessed of strong insights and a powerful allure with which most races could not compare. Aasimar were also quite perceptive, noticing things that others did not, and many could see largely unimpeded in perfect darkness, while also possessing the ability to cast magical light to aid those who could not see. Aasimar were also, like many of their celestial forebears, resistant to the effects of acidic elements, extreme cold, or electrical charges.
Angelic Guides
Aasimar who have not turned to evil have a link to a celestial being, usually a deva, who provides guidance in the aasimar's dreams, through visions, prophecies, or feelings. The being is not at all omniscient, but may provide insight into fighting some potent evils it does know about, and it tends to guide the aasimar toward the principles of law and goodness. Kamer's angelic guide is Rugiel.Civilization and Culture
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Aasimar, despite their human ancestry, did not typically feel a strong draw to their kin but instead felt a stronger bond with other half-breeds. Many aasimar enjoyed the company of races as varied as half-elves or half-orcs, though very few aasimar got along well with tieflings, whom the celestial-descended race was instinctively wary of. Genasi were likewise alien to aasimar, who found the elemental race strange even by their own standards. Of the other common races, aasimar had little overall opinion, since dwarves, elves, and the like had little history of persecuting aasimar but neither did they have a history of befriending them
