Message: <blockquote data-quote="samursus" data-source="post: 6337961" data-attributes="member: 64280">Interesting discussion regarding why they should or shouldn't include Aasimar as a playable race.Unfortunately for those angry? about not having their favorite race included, I feel that it is simply a matter of popularity.  Wizards has a lot of data and I think the Aasimar proponents, no matter how passionate, are a tiny minority. Even if they added another half-dozen races, I don't think the Aasimar would place... otherwise we would have seen them.  I don't think Wizards would arbitrarily snub a race because they, personally, only like "bad boys".  Remember, the 4e equivalent of Aasimar (which I felt were actually quite different than Aasimar and more attractive to me) didn't show up till PHB3.In order to change things though, convincing others of the awesomeness Aasimars is a good place to start. <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=":)" />Hmm, as an afterthought, maybe Aasimar aren't very popular because most people can't relate to or imagine what it mean to be descended from "perfection".  I think many of us, however, have direct experience of what it feels like to wrestle with our personal demons.  Just a thought.</blockquote>
