Small Sized Aasimar

[temohjyn]

Under the Aasimar race there is a sidebar that says other humanoid creatures can be Aasimar, and that everything stays the same except for the creature's size. I tried to create a new custom race in HL by just copying the existing Aasimar and changing the creature's size to Small instead of Medium, but it doesn't work correctly, because when I tried to build a character using it, it didn't allow for alternate racial traits, alternate heritage, or alternate racial abilities? Are those things built with a size prerequisite? Would I have to change all those Aasimar alternate racial abilities, or is it just because they have a prerequisite=Race Aasimar, and my new race has a different name so that doesn't work?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you replacing the original Aasimar file, or creating a whole new race? Although it really shoudlnt matter, it should function the same. But some background options might be based on size. Which one dont you see?

I created a whole new race and named it Aasimar (small). When I created a Hero with the new race the option for "Alternate Racial Traits" completely disappears, and when I clicked on the buttons for "Add new Aasimar Heritage" and "Add new Aasimar Ability" (I have the blood of angels material) a dialogue comes up that says "Nothing to choose."

What did you set for "Racial Traits Allowed" and "Counts as Races..."?

[temohjyn]

I didn't set anything, because I was copying from the original Aasimar Race file. Do I need to adjust those before saving the copy?

If you want a new race that you have created to count as one of the existing races, use those options to tell Hero Lab which existing races it should count as.

Okay, thank you for the help.
