The Material Plane (Tel'Ar)

**Aasimars** are the descendants of celestials, direct parallels of tieflings. They are typically champions of their gods and defenders of the weak, prosecutors of evil, and healers.

## Appearance

Aasimars typically resemble their parents, and are usually human or elvish in appearance. They have features that hint at their celestial heritage, but these often begin as subtle and grow more pronounced as the aasimar ages. Examples of these features include a dusting of metallic, white or charcoal freckles, metallic, luminous or dark eyes, starkly coloured hair, an unusual hue tinting their shadow, a ghostly halo crowning their head, or rainbows gleaming on their skin.

Each of the aasimar's celestial revelation features affect their appearance; necrotic shroud turns their eyes into pools of darkness, radiant consumption makes searing light pour from their eyes and mouth, and radiant soul lets them sprout two luminous, spectral wings. All of these changes are temporary.

They have the human range of height and weight- aasimars are between 4'11 and over 6 feet tall, and they are typically between 125 and 250 pounds. They can live up to 160 years.

## Origins

The first aasimar was believed to have been created near the end of the Unbalanced. The gods recognised that Tel'Ar was in need of a force of good, and sent the first aasimar down to the planet- a human-like race with celestial features.

## Society

Aasimars are rare, typically being the child of a god-blessed parent or a descendant of a celestial. They do not have a large society, and due to their heritage, they don't stick together, for fear that they may be hunted by those jealous of their gifts.

## Abilities

### Celestial Resistance.

Aasimars have resistance to necrotic damage and radiant damage.

### Healing Hands

As an action, aasimars can touch a creature and roll a number of d4s equal to their proficiency bonus. The creature regains a number of hit points equal to the total rolled. One this trait has been used, it can't be used again until after a long rest.

### Celestial Revelation

An aasimar can use a bonus action to unleash the celestial energy within themselves, gaining the benefits of that revelation. This transformation lasts for one minute, and once used, can't be used again until after a long rest. The celestial revelation options are as follows:

#### Necrotic Shroud

Their eyes briefly become pools of darkness, and ghostly flightless wings sprout from their back temporarily. Creatures other than their allies within 10 feet of them that can see them must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become frightened of them. Until the transformation ends, they can deal extra necrotic damage to one target.

#### Radiant Consumption

Searing light temporarily radiates from their eyes and mouth. For the duration, they shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and at the end of each of their turns, each creature within 10 feet of them takes radiant damage equal to their proficiency bonus. Until the transformation ends, once on each of their turns, they can deal extra radiant damage to one target when they deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals their proficiency bonus.

#### Radiant Soul

Two luminous, spectral wings sprout from their back temporarily. Until the transformation ends, they have a flying speed equal to their walking speed, and once on each of their turns, they can deal extra radiant damage to one target when they deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals their proficiency bonus.
