I noticed in another screen shot that two interesting tables were listed, Angellic Guide Names and Angellic Guide Natures, interesting.

So do you fellow forumites think Angellic Guide is obviously something for the Assimar and has me excited.

The only other option that comes to mind is angel, guide in the bestiary section (it wouldn't hurt to have a few more celestials), but I suspect you are right that this is for the Assimar. I am curious to see what the guide does. Nice to see them getting out from under the tieflings' shadows with a little mechanical distinction.

Hope they still have dark vision.

Surely they should have Light Vision, to complete the thematic opposition?

What the heck would lightvision be? They can see perfectly in blinding light?

I kind of what to play a Yaun Ti Pureblood Star Pact Warlock of Dendar that views themselves a Priests of Dendar, Tomelock, with Cleric and Druid Cantrips and rituals.

I also want to play somekind of Firbolg worshipper of Mask in his giant aspect, a Cleric of the Trickery Domain. Or a Giant God of Trickery.

An Aasimar or Taxabi worshipper of Sharess.

A clear headed Lizardfolk Battlemaster that uses it bite to great effect.

A goblin paladin inspired by the writings of George Taskar.

A Bugbear Assassin.

Finding out about the Angellic Guides is killing me with curiousity. If it is Aasimar related, then what happens if the Aasimar is evil, a Fallen Angellic Guide?

Triton Ranger with Giant Crab or Frog companion.

Okay Aasimar get subraces, Protector/Scroug/Fallen.

 

[Parmandur]

OK, per the Reddit AMA Table of Contents, which was clarified by the OP, there are only 13 races: seven that get full write-ups, and six that get just crunch in Chapter Two, and refer to Chapter One for fluff: Goblin, Hob, Bufbear, Orc, Kobold and Yuan-Ti. No other Player stats...

I think some of writeups for Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds and Yuan-Ti in the Chapter 1 might cover the fluff for them.

Those seem like they would fit the angelic guides. Guide as the mechanism of subrace?
