D&D 5E (2024) Aasimar is a really strong species in 2024

[ECMO3]

So I am playing my first Aasimar and man I have been impressed with this Species. Resistance to Radiant and Necrotic, the Necrotic comes up quite often, add the significant damage boost I get for a combat from Celestial Revalation with options for even more damage, a 1 round Frighten control option or flight.

The healing is kind of ho hum.

The healing is kind of ho hum.

My aasimar character has primarily used their Healing Hands for diplomatic gestures. For an adventurer, yeah, [prof]d4 hit points is usually an emergency Band-Aid, but that many hit points can make a world of difference to an NPC civilian or pet.

Well yeah its kinda obvious snd its based off the Mordenkainens one.

Humans, Elf, Goliath round out top 4 mechanically. Good at everything basically.

 

[Horwath]

The healing is kind of ho hum.

yeah, it's low and unrealiable.

want to rework it as paladins Lay on hands

you get healing pool of 3×prof bonus.
Usage Bonus action.
little more amount on average, but not wasted on overheal.

With the proliferation of radiant damage in the game, I can see their resistance being strong. I hadn’t noticed the uptick in necrotic damage. What level are you playing?

Surely that depends on the campaign? If my DM is homebrews an adventure called "The Necromancer's Pits of Deadly Death," then I would expect necrotic damage to come up way more often than radiant.

What are everyone's thoughts on the Fernian Aasimar and Mabaran Aasimar from the 2024 version of Exploring Eberron?
