		+
		+	Aasimar always start as [[lawful]], and can be played as [[Archeologist/EvilHack\|Archeologist]], [[Caveman/EvilHack\|Cavepeople]], [[Knight/EvilHack\|Knights]], [[Monk/EvilHack\|Monks]], [[Priest/EvilHack\|Priests]], [[Samurai/EvilHack\|Samurai]], or [[Valkyrie/EvilHack\|Valkyries]].
		+
		+	==Racial benefits and restrictions==
		+	Aasimar heroes are humanoid beings of celestial lineage that are akin to angels, and are capable of emitting an aura of [[light]] by spending 10 [[power]] using the [[Monster (command)\|#monster]] [[extended command]] while they are not [[stunned]], [[confused]] or otherwise incapacitated: this will light the area around them similar to a non-cursed [[scroll of light]], but only light-hating monsters can be blinded and damaged by the aura (and will be angered as normal if they were [[peaceful]]).
		+
		+	An aasimar hero has increased [[carrying capacity]] and starts every game with [[infravision]], [[poison resistance]] and the ability to [[see invisible]]. Aasimar gain [[magic resistance]] at [[experience level]] 4, [[sleep resistance]] at experience level 7, [[cold resistance]] at experience level 12, and [[shock resistance]] at experience level 20.
		+
		+	Aasimar are vulnerable to cursed weapons, which gain to-hit and damage bonuses when used against them. As holy beings, [[The Hand of Vecna (EvilHack)\|The Hand of Vecna]] and [[The Eye of Vecna]] are anathema to aasimar and cannot be worn or used to gain their benefits.
		+
		+	Aasimar are very unique compared to other EvilHack races in that they gain many bonuses and further abilities for maintaining a pristine [[alignment record]] while taking more significant penalties for [[alignment abuse]]:
		+
		+	* An aasimar that has never abused their alignment or has sufficiently atoned for any such abuse will gain an extra 3-6 [[hit points]] per level. At experience level 15, they will gain wings that can be used for [[flying]] if they are wearing [[body armor]] that is flexible enough or wearing none at all, and they will gain [[hungerless regeneration]] at experience level 18. An Aasimar that is [[crowned]] and has no alignment abuse will be given [[Death resistance\|resistance to death magic]]. Committing alignment abuse will cause all of these benefits to be revoked, but full atonement will restore them to the aasimar hero.
		+	* If an aasimar abuses their alignment at all, they will lose a random intrinsic that was granted from their race and/or experience level other than infravision—further abuse will cause a random negative intrinsic such as [[voracious hunger]] or [[aggravate monster]] to be imposed, and alignment abuse beyond that threshold causes all of their maximum attributes to be lowered by 3 points each. All of these penalties can be erased via atonement.
		+	* Aasimar are similarly expected to never convert from their lawful alignment, even accidentally.
		+	** An aasimar that puts on a helm of opposite alignment causes their deity to intervene before the alignment change occurs by destroying the helm in an explosion that deals 2d12 [[physical damage]] and leaves them stunned for several turns. This incurs an alignment abuse penalty of -3.
		+	** An aasimar that permanently converts their alignment by sacrificing on a cross-aligned [[altar]] will be fully stripped of their celestial blood and reduced to a full [[Human (starting race)\|human]], resulting in a heavy -30 alignment abuse penalty and the permanent loss of all aasimar powers.
		+
		+	[[Tortle (monster attribute)\|Tortles]] and [[Aasimar (monster attribute)\|aasimar]] will normally generate as peaceful towards an aasimar hero, and lawful angelic beings that are not [[unique]] monsters will also be peaceful outside of special levels like [[Purgatory]] and the [[Astral Plane]] if the aasimar hero has not abused their alignment. [[Orc (monster attribute)\|Orcs]], [[Illithid (monster attribute)\|illithids]], [[Drow (monster attribute)\|drow]], [[Vampire (monster attribute)\|vampires]], and [[Zombie (EvilHack)\|zombies]] (including [[Draugr (EvilHack)\|draugr]]) will always be hostile towards an aasimar hero. Furthermore, aasimar and [[Major demon\|demonic beings]] have a mutual [[grudge]]: demons will always be hostile to an aasimar hero, and they cannot tame or pacify demons, while [[foocubi]] cannot seduce them. Aasimar heroes will not turn into [[Zombie (EvilHack)\|zombies]] or [[Mummy#EvilHack\|mummies]] if killed by a monster of either type.
