brushwolfI'm feeling better than earlier.
Earlier this week I got a copy of Blood of Angels for Pathfinder. I already have Blood of Fiends and frankly tieflings are 'way more appealing to me - a noble hero or a morally gray character carrying with them the temptation of the worst baddies of the D&Dverse is far more interesting than noble heros descended from the good guys. And tieflings just look cooler! That said, the book offers bloodlines from several good outsiders, offering would-be defenders of weal more things to do well beyond cleric and paladin. The three real highlights of the book are the front cover (seriously. It's a badass front cover) and two pieces equivalent to the tiefling book - crunch in the form of a random table of unusual abilities the part-outsider has, and fluff in the form of a random table of how they're freaky. Good stuff.
... even if finding out that archon-blooded aasimar are known as "lawgivers" makes me seriously want to play one so that I can refer to all NPCs as "citizen," never actually remove my helmet, and bellow I am the law! Drop your weapons! while swapping out repeater crossbow ammunition.
