Why Aasimar Wizard?

The Aasimar's celestial gifts offer surprising benefits for a Wizard, a class usually focused solely on intellect. Your Aasimar heritage grants natural resistances, making you a bit sturdier than your average spellcaster. This is crucial since Wizards rely on a small hit die (d6), meaning you'll have fewer hit points than many other adventurers. Your spellcasting prowess, fueled by a high Intelligence score of 15, allows you to control the battlefield with powerful magic, while your innate Aasimar abilities provide backup when things get tough.

At level 5, while your melee damage is modest (3.9), your spells can already hit harder (7.8). As you grow in power, this gap widens significantly. By level 11, your spell damage reaches 10.18, making you a potent magical force. Your Celestial Revelation is a game-changer, offering flight that lets you bypass obstacles and gain the perfect vantage point for your spells. This combination of divine resilience and arcane power makes the Aasimar a unique and effective choice for a Wizard looking to stand out.
