You are an Outsider, and therefore immune. But a Human Bane weapon would hurt you, for sure. (Until Celestial Apotheosis, which the Paragon class grants.) You're not likely to see a Human-bane weapon at level 1, but you may well run into some Favored Enemy (Human) monstrous rangers.You are also qualified for Human-specific feats like Able Learner (from Races of Destiny).You don't need a torch if you have Darkvision -- non-magical darkness is never an issue. Since I took that away, it's balanced. Light-sensitive monsters are dazzled by daylight, not mere light -- no worries there. And putting a big neon sign on yourself? Way less sneaky than Darkvision. But very Paladin-like, IMHO. <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=":)" />Of course. We all like our own work. <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=":)" /> But consider that the type benefits that the Faded Aasimar gets is much better than the immunity to sleep and resistance to Enchantments that a Half-Elf gets.Balance isn't my only concern; I personally would forget about two points of energy resistance to three uncommon energy types. But resistance 5 vs. one energy type? I can remember that. And 5 is a standard amount.Eh, it's magic. You happen to be the great-great-great grandson of the thunderbolt angel (who carries the thunderbolts of Lord Zeus); so you resist a little lightning. As you take the Paragon levels, you more fully explore and realize the general Angelic nature of your blood. Or whatever.The Paragon class is not balanced if you don't weaken the starting race down to LA +0.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
