Aasimar

Aasimar *The Celestial Descendants*

**Ability Score Modifiers:** +2 Cha, +2 Wis, -2 Con. The aasimar's celestial heritage makes her wise and noble, but their physique isn't as well-adjusted to life on Myrndur as an average human's.

**Names:** Alurian, Kyrion, Brathus, Zorin, Arnur, Iliara, Alarian, Talasis, Aronis, Ariana, Osaris, Osir, Aurin, Oman, Uluman, Aluna, Nethis, Navara, Cerenis, Aramin, Hazir, Sahana, Alyssa, Ozan, Silus.

Graceful, regal, and noble, aasimars are the distant descendants of a coupling between a human and a good-aligned outsider. While nowhere near as powerful as their celestial forebears, aasimars still retain a significant touch of the divine in their blood. Most aasimar feel that their celestial heritage is a responsibility to do good. Such aasimar are usually humble about their heritage. Other aasimar take great pride in their heritage, and are haughty and arrogant.

The physical traits that suggest the aasimar's heritage differ, but may include silver or golden eyes, a silvery or golden tint to their skin, skin that is lustruous and white as snow, golden or silver hair, and pointed ears. Some have a birthmark shaped as a deity's holy symbol.

Aasimar often become adventurers, as their celestial heritage makes them gravitate toward the eternal fight against evil. They often become clerics or paladins, as many aasimar feel that it is their inherent purpose to serve the gods of righteousness and good, and because they make better conduits for divine magic than regular mortal, due to their celestial blood.
