Racial Variants for Aasimar

## Aasimar Half-races
In the world of Pulmara, Aasimar are not always born humans. Almost any race can bring forth a blessed child, and as such the statistics for aasimar are not always representative of this mix of celestial and mortal. The rules presented here provide a number of variant options for aasimar born to several non-monstrous races.

### Base Aasimar Traits
___
* ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2
* ***Age.*** Aasimar mature at the same rate as the race they were born to, but can live up to 60 years longer.

* ***Darkvision.*** Blessed with a radiant soul, your vision can easily cut through darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
* ***Celestial Resistance.***  You have resistance to necrotic damage and radiant damage.
* ***Healing Hands.*** As an action, you can touch a creature and cause it to regain a number of hit points equal to your level. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
* ***Light Bearer.*** You know the light cantrip. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it.

> ### Background
> A while back a player asked me if he could be an Aasimar that was born to gnomes. I said that sounds dope and asked him if he was gonna be like a big ol' human that the gnomes gave birth to and he and I both said that sounds pretty silly. At the time I just gave him an extra trait and called it a day, but it got me thinking about how Aasimars are born.
>
> Here, much later, is an actual written up version of that idea, making it so that an Aasimar can be born to any race and still retain some of their racial heritage and identity. 
>
> Please excuse the use of Pulmara (my setting) in the doc, this is planned to be given to players for an upcoming one-shot in that world.
> 
> I hope you enjoy these celestial combinations!
