[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7586625, member: 20564"] Aasimar make good paladins, just a little more focused around their auras and other CHR based their their attacking. And they are thematic as all get-out. They can do that as well, but several of the other Oaths work better with them than Vengeance. Protector Aasimar increase WIS which doesn't do much for you. But Radiant Soul granting flight starting at 3rd covers a glaring weakness. The bonus damage each round is just a bonus. Scourge Aasimar are more offensive and boost CON, but their Radiant Consumption is at direct conflict with your paladin auras, which is what your CHR buffs. I would recommend the others before them as a paladin. Fallen Aasimar increase STR, letting you start with that 16 (assuming point buy/standard array) for STR. If you want Vengeance badly, they are the best for it. Of the other oaths, Oath of Conquest from XGtE really works well with the +2 CHR. And if you play a Fallan Aasimar their Fear works really well into it. Oath of Devotion can also really use that higher CHR for their Sacred Weapon CD. Whatever you do, I would stay just paladin to level 6 at the absolute minimum, and even then be careful of what you will give up with multiclassing. [/QUOTE]
