To me, they seem like pretty, vacuous humans who stop just short of having an actual halo above their heads. There's no compelling hook to them. I'd rather see the likes of nephilim, deva and eladrin in a Planescape product.Still, any attempt to spice the race up is welcome, and having to be perpetually perfect is a direction that could bear fruit. I'd say that a typical aasimar experience is that no one believes they're capable of bad deeds, so their misdemeanours are ignored, explained away, or blamed on someone else. This could lead to an aasimar feeling compelled to live up to the peoples' trust, or being wracked with guilt about others being punished for their wicked acts and thus determined to fight for the wrongly accused. Of course, some aasimar might take advantage of this naivete to hide dark deeds.In fact, what if an aasimar race ability went something like "1/day in a noncombat situation, you may make a Charisma v Wisdom check to make one target ignore, or have an indifferent reaction to, an action you take that does not harm anyone within sight."</blockquote>
