Pathfinder 1E "Aasimar" in Pathfinder version

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

These are Deva in the 4E original, right?

It seems like it would make infinitely more sense in Pathfinder if every instance of the word "aasimar" were replaced by "samsaran," because that's the race with all the reincarnation flavor.

(And hello all, I'm extremely positive about Zeitgeist in general, sorry my first post on the forum is... this.)

Welcome.

And Samsarans were released in the Advanced Races Guide, right? I seem to recall Thurston mentioning their existence to me after we'd released the first adventure.

And Samsaran is such a convenient anagram of Srasaman...

 

[RangerWickett]

Both are drawn from the same concept.

I transposed the first two letters because more words need to be pronounced like Sri Lanka.
