Very cool... now why don't I have the books yet? :)So will they have art for each aasimar variant(angel, azata, etc.)?Both Blood of Fiends AND Blood of Angels will have portraits of ALL the variants, as well as a few full-body illustrations of variants mixed in with the typical aasimars and tieflings.
patience, DM, patience.
I think most would prefer a well polished book of teifling and aasimir options.
Not rushed out the door, Ok quality, product.
Thinking back to a few games that were rushed out the door, and it made for some bad gaming experiences

Same reason I don't have a pet dinosaur.
So...the book is extinct?
I think he's saying that it's something to do with certain influential groups of people being against cloning and stem cell research.
What that has to do with the book, I don't know.

We'll do those once we finish building our Quantum Artbot... the artistic robot who can produce all possible works of art at once for free. Progress on the Quantum Artbot is, alas, going more slowly than we'd hoped, mostly because we're having trouble getting our Quantum Robotbot back up and running. I think he threw a hip socket or something.

So does this mean we're going to get "Blood of Genies" in September? :)
A book like that would certainly be cool, as would books of all sorts of other types of similar races.
But we don't want to "glut" the Player's Companion line with too many similar books in a row.
That wasn't a no. :P
Completely understandable. I personally would enjoy seeing more "setting" based Player's Companions, either nation ones or group based like Pirates of Golarion.
I like the race books myself especially when you find out the "origin story" for a race, unlike the Halfling one.

I wonder if that supposed "Celestial Totem" line of Rage powers will make a show. I'm guessing not though :(Raging is inherently chaotic, and sometimes evil. It's never good. :P
Spoilering so it's not so derailing, but one other thought on this from someone that has been hoping like hell for options for holy barbarians for a long time:
Raging while you're shielding an innocent from flames with your own body.
Raging while intimidating a lynch mob that was about to slay an innocent.
Raging while pulling multiple people hanging off a cliff to safety.
Raging while placing yourself in between your escaping allies and an enemy in pursuit, possibly sacrificing yourself to buy your friends some time.
Charlie Sheen raging?! there is nothing celestial in that;)

** spoiler omitted **
I really like the idea of a divine battle-trance.
"How did you fight like that?"
"It wasn't me, I was possessed by the spirit of an angry angel. Cayden's hand shields me from foes."
Will this product get a teaser in the paizo blog?

I think they would work for ragathiel better.

yes, no, Maybe?
Will there be any new racial traits? racial feats? racial favored class bonuses?
Thanks for the info James.
Will racial variants give them different racial modifiers, spell-like ability, resistances, etc.?
any thoughts on books for the various planetouched?
Books for Sylph, Undine, Ifrit, and Oread would be interesting but not so much for the Suli and Fetchlings.
Will it have a long list of variant abilities like that article for the Tieflings in Council of Thieves?
Well at least there are racial traits and feats.
I am really excited about this one but June is a while away.
I hope for some min to high level racial feats for wings, better spell powers, energy resistances, auras, constent spell efects like protection from evil or speak with animals, fast healing, etc.

I do hope there are some more Good summons in this product. Even if only Aasimar can summon them
I don't remember hearing any were that there would be new summons since they alter the list for the purpose of religion not race.

Drat. I was hoping to see some favored class bonuses for the Magus and Gunslinger at least. They suffer a bit from being published after the APG. And racial favored class bonuses for the new races would have been nice as well.Dragon78 wrote:

The ARG will be out by the time this comes out...

The blood of fiends book has a new sorcerer bloodline, I hope this one does as well, maybe Azata, or Agathion, anything but Archon really.

Absolutely. If memory serves, the old Races of Faerun book had some feats for Aasimar's. I think it was like celestial bloodline and then some others. One gave you the ability to fire a single searing light although it burned out your light spell-like ability for the rest of the day.
Another gave you more spell-like abilities, like protection from evil and such and a third gave flight. I've been pray for at least some sort of re-print or partial reprint of this stuff.
I think i kinda remember those feats.
I also remember the bloodline feats for sorcerers that covered dragons, celestials, fey, devils, and demons.
Amazing. Absolutely Amazing. I can not wait.
Your not the only one
Since, Dec 22 2011
It hasn't even been two months since it got announced, but we still have like four months to go.
Assuming no delays... - go Abadar! Make sure that things go smoothly!
Will all of of Aasimar types have unbalanced racial modifiers like the default one (+2 on two ability scores, no penalties)?
Also, this goes to both Tieflings and Aasimars, what heritage does the default tiefling/aasimar belong to?
I would very much appreciate a teaser in the blog in May

Assimars are actually concidered underbalanced comparred to even the core races. They are deceptive, as they seem to get a lot, but it is either very situational or quickly looses it's flair. There are more than a few threads on this. :)
I ,+2 to two mental stats is not that powerful especially when the bonuses are not to Int. Energy resistance of 5 quickly looses it's power after a few levels really and Daylight(1/day) is not that powerful unless your fighting a group of drow once a day each day.
Also if the racial mods are different for each type of Tiefling(like in council of thieves) then they will be different for each type of Aasimar.

Agreed
