Not sure what all that is.. but thx for the info

Aasimar is a new race. No idea what the knife fighting thing is, maybe a new rogue tree?

I seem to recall from one of the streaming events or maybe it was an ask the devs event that Vistani Knife Fighter was going to be a separate enhancement tree much the Harper tree is separate.

Hopefully Aasimar is better than the original preview we saw on the PC. They 'intentionally' typed a certain bonus to exclude two classes to benefit. Despite both of those classes being fitting aasimar races from a tabletop roleplay perspective. But you know, "Mah paladins" whinge won the day.

I should also warn you now, these aren't 3.5e Aasimar. They used some 5e fluff shit from some guide? Votan's or some shit. Google it so you can know the cringe ahead and I can avoid breaking the NDA.

Sounds about right, all I recall from the discussion was folks asking if they used 5e stuff and they said yes.

Yeah, 106 is definitely your answer. Not a fan, mostly because the information there affects choices and it seemed to be super flavorful rather than "this would make a neat race-build combo". Expect to stay human forever once you've got racial completionist, unless you like arcane archer.

I assume tiefling will be some brutish 5e style model, and they'll be buffed on roids with strength reusing our favorite half orc/pdk model once more.

But honestly; every new race they've mentioned as of late isn't a strength potential. The only thing I could remotely see them trying to squeeze out a turd of for strength would be druergar.

Ima play a scourge aasimar.  That 1 minute of glowing like a spotlight will be long enough for me to find a flashlight after a power outage.

Be prepared for the glory that is

+1 critical threat range to throwing weapons
+1 threat modifier to throwing weapons.
20% doubleshot to throwing weapons
30% action boost to attack speed with throwing weapons
20 ranged power when using a throwing weapon
[2w] attack that proc's some form of CC (trip or stunning)
+defensive stat (dodge) when using a throwing weapon
Can use (stat) as damage/hit modifer when using throwing weapon
Everything else being mostly garbage

Lynn played an assassin build once and said that rogues are totally cool and fine and you should just stop complaining because SSG are the biggest bunch of bestest besties ever so I wouldn't anticipate them doing an overall weapon pass ever.

However, they've stated they want to make throwing with things other then shurikens worthwhile so this is how they will do it.

And since they're only allowed to consult the outsourced Indian programmer that SSG keeps on retainer for 1 day out of 5 (the rest of the time goes to the LOTRO team), we can't hope for new or interesting abilities in a knife fighting tree.  So instead all we can hope for is the same copy/pasted benefits that they've used in the last 5 revamps.
