Aasimar Cleric Build Guide

The Aasimar's divine heritage perfectly complements the Cleric's role as a celestial agent and healer.

8/10 Synergy Support Role Medium Difficulty

Why Aasimar Cleric?

The Aasimar is a fantastic choice for a Cleric, boasting a synergy rating of 8/10. Your Aasimar heritage grants you divine powers that naturally enhance the Cleric's mission. The ability to fly using Celestial Revelation at higher levels is a game-changer, allowing you to reach allies in need or escape dangerous situations. This mobility significantly boosts your effectiveness as a support character. Furthermore, your innate Celestial Resistance helps you withstand enemy attacks, keeping you on your feet to cast crucial spells.

With a Wisdom score of 15 as a priority, you'll excel at casting spells that heal, buff allies, and hinder foes. While your Dexterity might be low at 8, making you a bit slower to react and potentially easier to hit, your other Aasimar traits compensate. Your average HP at level 5 is 33, and this increases to a respectable 105 by level 17, providing a good foundation for survivability.
