Touched by the divine and absolutely not subtle about it, Aasimar are one of D&D’s most iconic—and misunderstood—lineages. In this episode, we crack open what it actually means to be born with celestial power: angels whispering in your ear, glowing eyes at inconvenient moments, and the crushing expectation that you’re supposed to be “the good one.”
We break down where Aasimar come from, how they differ from Tieflings beyond the obvious vibes, and why their lore is way more morally complicated than “holy hero with wings.” From fallen Aasimar and broken destinies to why so many players use them to explore faith, guilt, and rebellion, this episode digs into the good, the bad, and the divinely awkward.
If you’ve ever wanted to play a character who looks like a blessing and feels like a curse—this one’s for you.
