Hexblade Paladin Race: Tiefling Vs. Aasimar
Looking at making a tanky Hexblade/Paladin Multiclass and am trying to decide which would be a better race:
The Fallen Aasimar or the Zariel Tiefling.
I would use the variant that gives Tiefling wings.
I am basically look at whether Resistance to Radiant and Necrotic, or Resistance to Fire and the ability to fly is the better option.

Permanent flight is one of the most valuable features you can get.

Re: Hexblade Paladin Race: Tiefling Vs. Aasimar
The Tiefling with wings is not a Zariel Tiefling. It's a separate option, either/or.
For your question: resistance to fire applies a lot more than to radiant or necrotic, but if you get hit by radiant or necrotic it's often more crucial you don't lose much HP, if you get what I mean. So it's kind of equivalent in term of "it's nice to have".

Re: Hexblade Paladin Race: Tiefling Vs. Aasimar
Any reason why you're picking based on mechanics and not based on what you want your character concept to be? I mean "I was born looking half-devil because I was touched by fiendish power in some way" leads to a very different character than "I was a Chosen One who messed up somehow and ruined it".
