I liked the deva, for instance. It's that thy have no hook to them.Tieflings may "tend toward" evil, but that's not the only thing about them. They have built-in conflicts, built-in story hooks, in terms of their history, their physicality, their place in society.Devas had a good, solid hook with the "multiple lives" thing. I found that fascinating.Aasimars--at least so far as I've ever seen them portrayed--don't have anything like that. They seem to exist solely so that there's a good equivalent to the tieflings, and symmetry isn't really a strong hook IMO.That said, I'm not intimately familiar with the aasimar, so by all means, if I'm wrong, tell me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> What story hooks or roleplaying hooks are intrinsic to the race?</blockquote>
