Aasimir Heritage and Racial Traits


Pathfinder Player Companion

Scarab Sages

For starters I do not own this book yet. I do however access play material via herolabs.

Herolab is forcing me to take a heritage but the default aasimir is not one (+2 WIS/CHA and 1/daylight)

When I choose one of heritages it changes the default stat bonus and replaces daylight. Most of the alternate racial traits replace daylight, as a result, picking a heritage means you can no longer pick racial traits replacing daylight. This does not seem correct to me or does it mean that you have to be a default Aasimir to have a different racial trait?

I guess that because ARG and BoA were developed in parallel, racial traits from ARG weren't synched with heritages.

ARG?

I also note one of the racial traits is cure minor wounds /3. I thought cure minor wounds did not exit in core pfrpg. Is it an error in herolabs and should it be cure light wounds /3?

ARG = Advanced Race Guide.

I believe cure minor is an error and should be replaced with stabilize.

I have the ARG and I should check that out.


First, I would expect aasimar heritages to be an option in purple -- like variant channeling for clerics -- not forced. (I don't have BoA for HL yet.) Second, I only count 3/9 alternate racial traits in the ARG that replace the spell-like ability. Third, cure minor wounds is in the list of 100 variant aasimar abilities in BoA: all of which replace the spell-like ability racial trait (not daylight specifically), are subject to GM approval (even moreso than normal), and are designed to be rolled for randomly. Last, normally one thing can't replace something that another thing already replaced; however, it would be reasonable for something that replaces the SLA to replace an alternate SLA.

The error is the coding in the HL code. I do not own BoA to check the wording. I will report it over on the lone wolf forum. They have linked the racial trait to daylight spell not the spell life abiity you get from your heritage.

Is the default aasimir (pre ARG and BoA) considered a heritage?
