02-07-08, 09:37 PM I was looking for a Half-Celestial progression from a base race (like Half-Fiend from here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20031010a)), but all I came across was this (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040319a). The latter seems far inferior to the first, seeing as you simply go from Aasimar to Half-Celestial, rather than a base race with its bonuses to Half-Celestial.

Maybe I'm missing something. Anyways, thanks in advance!

Contrast a human with the half-celestial template vs an assimar with 3 lvs of the half-celestial transition template. You lose your racial human traits (meaning no bonus feats or skill points) for what? Daylight 1/day?

Poorly designed, IMO, but that is also largely because aasimar stank at LA+1 anyways.

Does anyone to know of any progression for the Half-Celestial where you take all four levels? I've searched it and looked around but I couldn't find anything, just the Aasimar -> Half-Celestial, not any race -> Half-Celestial.

Thanks in advance.
