Even if it was (and would be too good as such) the limited scope inherently makes it less disruptive than the fallen Aasimar. After that you just list the variant human over and over, which has been a source of contention from day one. Do you have any examples that don’t specifically rely on having access to optional feat content?Even then, many of the examples you posted don’t stand up to any scrutiny. You’re going to have to explain how the rogue/sentinel interaction works, because by my reading the only way it’s useful is if the rogue has the reaction attack triggered while also having advantage.100 HP is not better than 50 damage, at least not in all cases. Inspiring leader takes time to set up (10 minutes each) and its value is spread over the party. If the wizard is getting focused down, the bonus HP on the cleric aren’t helping. This leads me to the real crux though, is that killing things faster always saves you more HP than by reactively healing it. Doubly so against high-threat monsters, or those with powerful save effects. Lastly, you can stack multiple aasimar damage buffs, and I don’t believe this is the case with Inspiring leader.Mounted combat is barely worth addressing. Mounts can’t go into a wide number of areas, it only affects medium creatures (which many of the more dangerous foes are not), the larger weapon die works out to be +1-2 at best, and you also have to figure out how to keep your mount from getting hosed by AoE effects, which was a big concern even with the old Ranger’s animal companion. I think your post is the first time I’ve seen the mounted combat feat brought up in positive fashion.In the end, all of these options are also available for the aasimar character, at the price of missing out on a stat bump or a different feat.First off, I put the 50% uptime into my original argument, which is incredibly low, since that means both your attacks would have to miss for ½ the combat rounds, since the ability only requires 1 hit per round to activate. If you assume that most/all attacks hit, it becomes even better than I posted. If you assume it has an 80-100% uptime, then now you’re trading 27 damage for 80-100, along with a CC opener, which cuts the opportunity cost somewhat.</blockquote>
