Hi,
Don't worry - I'm not after advice on mechanical character creation at this point. I've at last settled on the build, it's just a matter of deciding on race.
I would really like to introduce a Lesser Tiefling character into a campaign I'm involved in at the moment. Our main characters have just shored up on a new continent, made some big impacts, caused a slave uprising and taken control of a city.
However, to the Northeast, lies the outpost of the demon king. They will be sending an envoy shortly, it has been boomed into our court wizard's head.
I would love to introduce a lesser tiefling female, who in agreement with the DM can be introduced in relation to the demon lord, possibly as a part of his envoy, or a defector who knows secret passages into his keep, or somesuch fun, geography and story related fashion. It means we have a new player character who is part of the geography and history.
The only thing is that she's an Ardent/Slayer build, which is Wisdom based.. and lesser tiefling is +2int. Lesser Aasimar however, is +2Wis.
Now, the name of the game is fun, and having a fiery, aggressive lesser tiefling gish to play would certainly create a lot of that.
Having a Lesser Aasimar would certainly give a better advantage considering the chosen class, however does not seem as entertaining, fluff-wise. Holy do-gooders are not as fun for me as mischievous characters with a bit of fire.
As a l. Aasima, I'm considering having it as somebody obsessed with militantly upholding good and destroying demons and aberrations. (Heck, our main characters have built a cathedral to the Gods in the city, it could be a prayer answered), a holy lawful warrior... or perhaps a 'fallen aasimar' kind of deal who turned his back on the Good Gods in order to further understand evil, so he can become some kind of non-dual transcendent egotistical being, or something.
It might be best to go Tiefling, accept that I'll have a couple less powerpoints, and -1 save DC, for the sake of keeping the flavour and fun alive..
..But if anybody is having some good, less-than-holy ideas for Lesser Aasimar, I'm all ears - I'd love to hear them before I compromise on the stats, lol.:smallamused:
