Re: Aasimar, feedback requested
I would personally disagree with the Androgynous parts and the colors in the Distinctive Features because that is not how I picture Aasimar (some may be Androgynous, but not all). Also, unless you mean metallic golden skin and gem-like eyes, I don't see those as distictive really in and of themselves also. Otherwise not bad. I'd consider adding Charisma also, perhas with a Nusissance Effect to replace the glow quirk.
*falls over laughing for a moment* I totally missed that typo. I'm fairly sure the OP meant Faint (like I read it originally) Last edited by nerdvana; 05-04-2011 at 09:31 AM. Reason: added commentary about Vicky's reply |

Night Vision 2 [4] is probably more appropriate than Ultravision [10], though that is a style choice. Do they see more blues and purples and violets colors than humans do, or do they just see better in the dark? Those Distinctive Features aren't Distinctive, assuming a human dominated world. (Tanned Skin, Light Brown Hair and Yellow-Hazel Eyes aren't mechanically Distinctive within a human population.) Feint is a combat technique. I think you mean Faint, for the Unnatural Feature. Also, this Unnatural Feature isn't Unnatural for the Aasimar race, and so should be marked as Distinctive instead. If I recall the source material correctly, they do eat and drink, or at least can enjoy doing so; and also suffer starvation penalties like any other biological. Probably not appropriate to take Doesn't Eat or Drink. The racial talents are iffy, but okay. Otherwise looks fine. :) (Your Campaign May Vary) |

Re: Aasimar, feedback requested
Isn't there a similar template in DF:3?

I kind of liked their conversion into Deva (i.e., "repeatedly reincarnated corporeal ex-angels") in 4E.

Appearance (Androgynous) is a +0% modifier. There is no such Quirk as Androgynous. Androgynous is a Perk, and costs one point. (Power Ups 2: Perks, pg 4) |
