I didn't mind aasimars either, but their fluff is less interesting, and their name is awful. "Deva" isn't great, but it's still a lot better. Let's call them "daeva" anyway though, just to end the popstar jokes.There's something like this in Eberron. The city of Sharn is built in a place where the plane Syrania bleeds into the world (allowing flight- and levitation-magic to work more easily), allowing the city to build numerous floating and impossibly tall towers. During the Last War, one such tower suddenly dropped, crashing destructively into the ground in a suspected act of war or terrorism for which no group ever took responsibility. One supplement (Dungeon magazine, maybe?) described how the fall of this tower was actually the result of a fallen angel (from Syrania) being cast into the world and cursed to never again fly. Ultimately this fallen angel ends up trying to establish a new cult based around himself, with which adventurers are expected to then deal.I liked 4E eladrin too; they were really just a more-magical extension of the high elf, albeit possibly too magical for some people. (Interplanar movement as a racial power, what?) The celestial eladrins bore the hell out of me.Given that the elf section of the 5E PH is longer than that of other races, it's not a stretch to imagine some of that space devoted to a variant 4E-style high elf/"eladrin". If WotC wants every editions' core races in the PH, then Eladrin is the only such race not yet confirmed.Side note: duergars? Basic talks about grey dwarves in the dwarf section of the race rules. Are we gonna get these guys too? I think you're a bit over-the-top, but in general I agree with you: I hope dragonborn got a redesign. I'm not particularly upset about any particular element of their design (no wings, no horns, no tail, boobs; I don't care much), but I do think they're pretty damn ugly. With their "hair", they don't remind me especially much of dragons, but worst of all is that they lack the proud, strong colouration of true dragons! Mud is not a particularly inspiring colour.</blockquote>
