so i had a question about the outsider type: according to the beastiary, outsiders have the following traits:
Traits: An outsider possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature's entry).
•Darkvision 60 feet.
•Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don't work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life. An outsider with the native subtype can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be.
•Proficient with all simple and martial weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
•Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. Outsiders not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. Outsiders are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.
•Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep.
so, if i'm playing an Aasimar, does that mean that I get proficiency with all simple and martial weapons? it's noted that aasimar are listed as wearing scale mail, so does that then mean that my aasimar gets medium armor proficiency as well? we were having a discussion about this locally, but since we couldn't reach a consensus, i thought i'd reach out and see about getting an official ruling on this.
