I just recently found this thread talking about an aasimar paragon for 3.5, and one of the gentlemen that assisted in writing Unearthed Arcana even responded with a version of the class. The only thing I'm wondering is... what would the aasimar class skills be? If someone could help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I took out the skills that the Paragon Tiefling got from the Rogue class and added in skills from the Paladin class since that is the favored class of the Aasimar.

Of the two you mentioned, I prefer the Hypertext SRD personally. |

I thought I'd give the paragon a once over and try it out on my character now that she's hit epic level. Just about time to retire her... *disconsolate sigh*

I'd probably give aasimar full BAB, all good saves, improved resistance (acid, cold, or electricity) at 1st, daylight 3/day and another +2 on Spot/Listen at 2nd, and a Cha boost at 3rd level.
That's basically identical to the tiefling's progression, except for the better BAB (I think Dex is better than Cha, so it seems fair to me). The BAB matches their martial nature. It's OK for the LA +1 or better races to have a more potent paragon class, as noted in the sidebar on p. 46.
I'd also allow free multiclassing with paladin (honestly, I think that all the paragon classes shouldn't ever trigger penalties for multiclassing, even with monk or paladin, but I have only myself to blame for that not being in there).
In addition to what WotC_Andy said, I would give it the following skills: Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spot (Wis).

Hmm. Not really sure.
Diplomacy, Sense Motive for sure. Possibly Spot, Listen, Heal, Know: Religion/Planes. Those would be my best guess. |
