Aasimar Sorcerer Build Guide
Embrace your inner celestial power with the Aasimar Sorcerer, blending divine grace with raw arcane might.
Why Aasimar Sorcerer?
The Aasimar Sorcerer is a potent combination, leveraging your innate celestial gifts to enhance your spellcasting. Your primary attribute, Charisma, fuels both your spell power and your persuasive abilities, making you a compelling figure. With a starting Charisma of 15, you're already well on your way to unleashing devastating spells.
Your Aasimar heritage grants you natural resistances and abilities that shore up the Sorcerer's inherent fragility. Celestial Resistance provides a buffer against certain damage types, and Healing Hands can offer a clutch heal in dire moments. The Celestial Revelation, especially flight at level 3, gives you unparalleled battlefield mobility, allowing you to unleash blasts from safety or reach vital targets unimpeded.
