Aasimar

Stat Block: Aasimar

I saw her, wreathed in wings of pure light, her eyes blazing with the fury of the gods. The bone devils stopped in their tracks, shielding their faces. Her blade, now a brand of light, swept once, twice, three times. The devils’ heads hit the ground, one after another. And thus we learned that an aasimar traveled in our ragtag band.

Aasimar are practically indistinguishable from other races and could be anywhere, few actually know they exist outside of holy workers. Truly all that is different about them is they have been chosen from birth as a champion of a God and have been blessed with radiant power within them. This does not happen often as normally Gods prefer to see the deeds of a mortal before choosing them. The risk of choosing them at birth is that they might reject the will of the God that has chosen them and use their power for their own means. Gods have learned that too heavy a hand in mortal lives can result in ruin. To combat this happening the Gods will send messengers to visit Aasimar in visions to guide them down the path of becoming their champion.
