I was toying around with the character builder at NWN2DB and I saw that the Aasimar are only capable of attaining Human gods at character creation. I was wondering why this is; what is the lore behind celestial's? Couldn't those of the Seldarine court have Aasimar progeny?

"Service to a cause greater than yourself is the utmost honor you can achieve." -
Perhaps I found the answer to my question - In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting Aasimar were most commonly found in the eastern lands of Unther and Mulhorand, where they were the descendants of the good deities who once walked among the mortals during the Time of Trouble.
However it still only states that MOST of them are."Service to a cause greater than yourself is the utmost honor you can achieve." -
We can assign a different deity after character creation in the case of non clerical classes.
Creating a cleric class would obviously present a problem and you'd probably remain restricted as it is now.

When I was researching Aasimar for one of my many previous failed bio entries, I found that the Forgotten Realms wiki indicated that Aasimar are descendants of Gods or Angels who mated with humans. So, essentially any good Celestial Being. As far as I know, in FR lore this has only happened with deities of the human pantheons and their servants. So the Aasimar are humans in which the recessive celestial traits have surfaced.
I suppose the Seldarine could have mated with mortals. Though this seems unlikely and even if they did it would probably be with the races of elves resulting in an elven-variant of the Aasimar.
I do believe that a character with this background would be breaking new ground, but I may be wrong. It's an interesting concept anyway.Account Name: LuvHandles

No was just simply interested in the lore behind them etc. As I was building character concepts for my new Shadowbane Stalker and mapping out certain Aspects of my build such as feat progression etc. I knew that the hard coding of NWN2 would provide an issue with clerical based classes, it was simply something I wasn't 100% clear on with the lore. Snowmanes post does clear up quite a bit of it. Although I will probably end up submitting a post at some point for a Skald style RDDOriginally posted by Doubtful View Post"Service to a cause greater than yourself is the utmost honor you can achieve."Comment
