Asurons
Asuras who are not members of a celestial legion often wander the planes for a while, seeking to right wrongs and show others the path of good behaviour by their example. They are also frequently attracted to pious humans, and there have been instances of children fathered from such unions. These asurons are born without their parent's fiery wings, but usually have features similar to the asuras: flat-white skin (like marble), almost painfully sharp features, and hair of red, copper, and gold. Asurons have eyes like burning red flame. They are found throughout the planes - in the burning deserts of Zakhara on the Prime Material Plane, the burgs of the chaotic Outer Planes, even the energies of the Positive Material Plane are home to the celestial progeny of the asuras.
Asurons prefer warmer planes, and attire themselves to suit - loose togas or silks are worn in civilised areas, while heat-reflecting robes and turbans are worn in deserts and wildernesses. Magical items that grant the bearer resistance to heat and flame are most prized.
Asurons inherit a number of their parent's abilities and mystical properties. These grant the PC a +1 to saves vs. fire and heat based effects, but a -1 penalty to saves vs. cold and ice.
As asuras often travel to the Positive Material Plane to absorb the energies there, the PC is resistant to harm from those energies, and will not go above her maximum normal hit points due to the effects of Positive Energy. The PC can cast detect lie three times per day. Her eyes flame when using this ability.
Once per week, the PC can cast polymorph self, fly, or true seeing. At 9th level, the PC can use each of these abilities once per week.
Those asurons born in Zakhara often grow up to become learned mystics and holy men or powerful and devout warriors. Some few become holy slayers. On the planes, asuras become fighters, paladins, and priests. A good number train as bards, acting as messengers and heralds for good powers or temples.
Asurons have the same ability requirements and adjustments as aasimar, and equivalent level limitations in their chosen class.
The following are Skills and Powers abilities for Asurons:
Asuras bloodline (15): The PC is resistant to harm from the energies of the Positive Material Plane, and will not go above her maximum normal hit points due to the effects of Positive Energy.
Asuras powers - minor (10): The PC can cast detect lie three times per day. Her eyes flame when using this ability.
Asuras powers - major (15): Once per week, the PC can cast polymorph self, fly, or true seeing. At 9th level, the PC can use each of these abilities once per week.
These were ased upon the asuras entry in the Al-Qadim MC, which mentions asuras half-breeds.
