Both are equally good as clerics, but by that marker Dwarfs are good stand ins for Aasimar. Don't get me wrong, I love Devas, they are damm good, but they feel very different from Aasimar, if anything Kalashtar come closer to fill the Aasimar niche. And talking about an offended sense of simmetry, I wish they would have placed the Asuras in the game too.I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen, and that subclass being in a late arrival splatbook will only hurt my chances of actually playing one, having to campaign for a DM to allow both the class and the splat with the subclass every single time I get into a new game is a huge effort. See below, the change in mentality between editions is key to my worries.Perhaps, the shift in the paradigm isn't entirely positive, I'm still waiting on the news for the Standard game. If it is confirmed that standard will include both the extended classes and races and multi classing I will have more hope in the edition.</blockquote>
