First Post
Hello everyone, i'm DM for about 2 years, and recently started a new campaign in Forgotten Realms setting, one of my players wanted to play an Aasimar character. I allowed him but i couldn't find any setting regarding the Aasimar physical traits, like height, weight, aging, etc...
Anyone knows this? I searched all my books and didn't found it.

Second, a new player wants to join and she wants to play a half-drow, i could only find the picture of him on the FR campaign setting book, not his stats, can anyone help on this too?

The Aasimar physical traits heigh etc are (It's only a guess) in the recent Manual of the Plane, or something similiar.

The Half-drow have a really obscure bit in the FRCS. Page 40 right at he top left. Half-elves se human height and elven weight, drow use the actural elves heighs and weights. No specific tables given for them. It also says that Aasimars use human height tables.
 

Ok, thanks Ferret, i missed that part on the FRCS book. But still i don't know how to create a half-drow character. Or do i have to improvise?

Check in the FRCS under the regional descriptions (don't have book at work) there is a city or region that is ruled by half-drow, or is ruled by drow and most the people are half-drow?

Otherwise half-drow = half-elf
 

Treat aasimar as humans for this.

Half-drow are just like half-elves, except that they get darkvision 60 instead of low-light vision, and they use the standard half-elven height and weight entries from the PHB instead of the special faerûnian half-elf stats.
 

Both races are in the FRCS. Just look closer at the races section. A half-drow is a half-elf with 60 ft darkvision. I'd probably get rid of the bonuses to diplomacy and gather info to be fair.
Aassimar's get +2 to Wis and Cha and have darvision. They also get energy resistance 5(acid, cold and electicity, I think). They may also get a spell-like ability like the tiefling's darkness. Their favored class is paladin, and they have a level adjustment of +1.
 

ok, thanks guys!
but still it seems a bit odd, since the drow is a much powerfull race compared to the standard elf and the half-drow only inherits dark-vision and skin tone! lol

As it turns out, the inferior human blood is dominant. Lowest common denominator and all that. ;)
