[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8192290, member: 779"] The table of Aasimar features. I can definitely see where the one in Warriors of Heaven was copy and then change a few things from the Tiefling table. I'm aware of the how different certain celestials like Guardinals (especially Ursinals, as I don't think anyone has ever drawn a human-like Ursinal) can be from most humanoids, some of the same type look closer to Humans on Bytopia but closer to animals on the Beastlands, like for example an Equinal can look like either Bojack Horseman (as in really horselike) or like Sarah Jessica Parker (who's face reminds me of a horse). Though I guess a Aasimar of Leonid and Leonal Guardinal ancestry looks like a idealized lion with glowing fur. For a Human Aasimar with a Leonal Guardinal it might just be Lion ears (there's your cat-girl for you). [B]Appearance[/B] Aasimar do have a variety of features that often does hint at their celestial origins, unlike other Planetouched they mostly don't diverge too greatly from their mortal ancestry compared to some other Planetouched lineages. Common features do include metallic skin colours, patterns of light on their bodies, glowing eyes, or the occasional animal-like feature for those descended from animal-like Celestials like Hound Archons or Guardinals. Instead of deciding for yourself what an Aasimar looks like, especially if you feel the Aasimar has a specific type of celestial in their bloodline. You may also select 1d3 features from the table below, either picking any one of the choices or rolling a d100 for each feature as a guideline. An Aasimar may have features not covered in this table. [B]Roll Trait[/B] 01-05 Unusual tint to skin (such as green, blue or purple) 06-10 Metallic skin (such as silver or gold) 11-14 Opalescent skin 15-19 Pointed ears 20-22 Doglike ears 23-25 Catlike ears 26-30 Angular face with high cheekbones 31-33 Long, distinguished nose 34-36 Hooked nose 37-40 Crystal-blue eyes 41-44 Bright green eyes 45-48 Gleaming silver eyes 49-52 Golden eyes 53-55 Fingers longer than normal 56-59 Animal horns on head 60-63 Silver or gold fingernails 64-66 Long, slender arms 67-69 Animal-like legs (such as a lion, horse or bird talons) 70-72 Animal-like tail 73-76 Vestigial Wings on shoulders 77-80 Body covered with speckled markings 81-85 Lines of light cover body 86-88 Radiates a slight glow 89-91 Bald, hairless 91-92 Hair moves like flames 93-95 Small feathers rather than hair on 1d10x10 of body 96-97 Sweet, fresh odor surrounds body 98-99 Surrounded by aura of calm 00 Really long-lived or ageless [/QUOTE]
