The eladrin looks simple enough. One of the PCs in my Legacy of the Crystal Shard is an aasimar (built with the alpha playtest version of the stats; I'll be curious to see if anything's changed).

Looks like good advice overall.

 

I suppose this also gives us some insight as to how the devs themselves approached design.

Well, I'm pretty sure there are at least three pages to the section (one before, one after the preview we got). I'm curious to see the spell selection for the Aasimar too.

Light at first level, something?  Tongues at 5th level would be niice. 

 

Is there a spell that's similar to Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes from 4th edition Deva? Always loved that.

it's funny because when I built an aasimar race for my 5E Planescape game I did exactly as they do here, except I only went with radiant resistance but pumped their spells in a not-just-utility way: 1st level it got light, 3rd level it got 1/day guiding bolt as a 2nd level spell, and finally at 5th level it gained 1/day aid as a 3rd level spell. My aasimar eldritch knight was so pumped for the free guiding bolt, I don't think she'd been as much with just utility spells.

I feel that 'high elves' are close enough to 'eladrin'. Personally, I'd rather have one free cantrip than a 30 foot teleport each encounter...

 

 I love Aasimar, as I use them with Tieflings to represent a split race. (Much like the Mystics and Skeksis in the movie The Dark Crystal).

 

I hope they didn't drop Warforged from the DMG...That's one thing I was looking foreward to seeing. My wife loves her 4e warforged (defender-style) fighter.

 

To some, Nerath might not count as a setting because it was a default for 4e, and it doesn't have novels (to my knowledge), all the lore, a setting book of its own, etc. like other settings do. But, yeah PoL was an idea/theme...Not a setting.

 

Dark Sun 4e does have an awesome excuse for eladrin to exist. I loved the fading feywild idea. Also; Eladrin stepping out of mirages to kill you is so bad ass.

* Do remember "Lord of the rings" and "Chronicles of Narnia" are fantasy worlds created by Christian writers. Gary Gygax was Christina. (please, let´s change , this is off-topic). 

 

* Have you thought about to create hybrid- mixed blood PC races? Like elfings and muls from Dark Sun. 

 

I would like the return of the racial parangon classes from 3.5 Unearthed Arcana and the template classes from "Savage Progressiones" (D&D web). 

 

* Bairaurs and centaurs are special humanoids because they are quadruped, they can´t climb walls or to ride beasts like normal biped humanoids.

 

* For me the eladrins are Celadrins (with C), a planetouched elf subrace with eladrin outsider ancestors and the genasi would be offspring of half-genies.

 

* About minotaurs PCs... please, most of time horns can be used during fight, worse if enemy is little.

If anyone is still wondering, someone allegedly has the DMG and stated that the spells Aasimar get are Light, Lesser Restoration, and Daylight at 1/3/5. Seems like good choices to me.
