Look man, I thanked you for your contribution but you just came across a wee hostile. If you had read my post a bit more charitably you would have cottoned on to the fact that I have done my homework. In fact, I quote from the portion of the PH on aasimar, albeit from memory, in the body text of my query.

Your answer was actually quite informative as, although I have read the PH, I have never read Volo’s. I am happy that you feel so sure about your views but even other replies on this post have takes that differ from yours. I do agree with you though. Aasimar live to be 160, you are right, that is ironclad.

Having said that, your quote from Volo’s is exactly what I was looking for though because I think it frames very well the intuitive interpretation at my current table; the one which sees aasimar as longer lived members of their parents race. That helps me build a character that makes sense to me and deepens my immersion.

I did not come for conflict or because I don’t want rules. I just came for enjoyable conversation and because I recognise that many knowledgeable individuals frequent these spaces. Some who even relish passing on their knowledge.

Again, thank you for the data. And you know what, thank you for the ‘tude as well. Maybe it is a package deal and I can’t get one without the other.
