Subraces?
Are those actually subraces for 5e? Or are they more like roles? ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:48, June 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * They are presented as actual subraces, with different personalities, powers, and attributes. In terms of rules, they are subraces as much as hill dwarves and mountain dwarves are. There are physical differences as well: protector and fallen aasimar display wings when using their divine powers (protectors' are bright and feathered, while fallen wings are skeletal); scourge aasimar don't display wings. However, there is some mobility: the other two subraces can become fallen, and fallen aasimar can redeem themselves back. ― Sirwhiteout (talk) 01:10, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

3e appearance
Two things first: I have next to zero experience with pen-and-paper rules – always rely on the computer; I'm not familiar with body heights using foot and inch.

However, I think I am able to understand what's written in a rulebook, and I think I'm also able to count.

The infobox states a height of 5' – 7'4" for males and 4'7" – 6'11" for females (weight is correct), according to the Player's Guide to Faerûn, page 32. This page 32 lists the following stats in a table: From this table I read: the height of a male aasimar varies between
 * 4' 10" + 2 = 5' 0" (which is correct in the infobox)

and
 * 4' 10" (+3=5'1"; +4=5'2"; +5=5'3"; +6=5'4"; +7=5'5"; +8=5'6"; +9=5'7"; +10=5'8"; +11=5'9"; +12=5'10"; +13=5'11"; +14=6'; +15=6'1"; +16=6'2"; +17=6'3"; +18=6'4"; +19=6'5") + 20 = 6' 6" – where the IB lists 7'4";

females are 5" smaller, so the values for them would be 4' 7" (correct) to 6' 1" (incorrect).

So, how is the maximum height in the infobox calculated? -- compleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 20:45, June 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * 6'1" is five inches shorter than 6'6". I don't quite see the issue? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:49, June 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * The issue is, the infobox lists 7'4" rather than 6'6", and 6'11" rather than 6'1", respectively. -- compleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 20:53, June 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * It must have been a calculation error on somebody's part, probably mine. Thanks for letting us know. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:24, June 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * Then it appears, I was right – thanks! :)
 * However, trying to get into this matter with p'n'p seems … uhm … somehow complex, regarding so many rulebooks with different statements (for other races, I'm currently researching) -- compleCCity -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 22:07, June 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * FWIW, one of my projects on this wiki is to update all of the heights and weights for the races, but I have lots of projects, so I cannot promise much progress any time soon. ~ Lhynard (talk) 22:50, June 25, 2019 (UTC)
