[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 9620713, member: 6801299"] 3.5e had one solution for (over)powerful races/species to be playable to PCs and that was level ajdustmet, for those who do not know, level adjustment of +1 meant that if you were 2nd level PC with level adjustment +1 you were counted as 3rd level for gaining XP and level progression. you simply had one level less than everybody else. this kind of sucked but it was a solution if someone wanted to play a powerful species. maybe similar can be done in 5E, but wit little less penalty. I.E: at 2nd level you MUST take "species" multiclass level. if we wanted to play more powerful aasimar, that has more celestial power, it would come with +1 level adjustment, like in 3,5e player then when advancing to 2nd level gain 1st level of Asimar level, this might also go into version of racial paragon levels from 3.5e. this level would be d6 HD, that means +4 HP +1 Con mod and absolutely nothing of features, but your character would be 2nd level like everyone else, just multiclasses Class X 1 / Aasimar 1 other solution would be that you would play a normal aasimar as described and get extra features if and when you take "racial paragon" levels. OFC, we could have current solution of species specific feats that eat up your precious feat slots. [/QUOTE]
