Aasimar were in third edition from the start in the Monster Manual.In this setting they are a race of (usually) good aligned humanoids with celestial heritage.

Aasimar were introduced in the second edition Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix II as monsters and then as a PC race in the Planewalker’s Handbook.For more information you check check out Wikipedia. If you don’t know a lot about the previous publication history of aasimar I’ll give you the bullet points here. Just like many of the races in Exploration Age, I’ve tweaked their story to fit the setting. But I think aasimar can be different than they are in all of their various incarnations. They don’t have dark temptations and are just boring goody two-shoes (and that’s ok if that’s what you want to play). At first blush, I can see an argument being made for aasimar having a less compelling story than tieflings.

See? There is a tiefling entry and not an aasimar entry.Īasimar is the natural opposite of the tiefling – humanoids infused with celestial blood as opposed to the tiefling’s infernal heritage.

Here’s some proof via Wizards of the Coast tweet. I do find it strange, however that tieflings are going to be in the core of fifth edition in the Player’s Handbook, while the aasimar is overlooked. Who could blame you? Tieflings have a very compelling story. I know there are loads of tiefling fans out there.

Along those lines, I want to give you a peek at my way of bringing one of my favorite races into the game – the aasimar. Last week, I wrote about stealing races from other settings and bringing them into your world.
