Has anyone compiled a list of 20+ aasimar traits, similar to the table of random tiefling traits from the Planewalker's Handbook?

Re: Aasimar Physical Traits?
Thanks for the tip, but it's not worth buying a PF splat just for a table.
I think I can use a few items from the tiefling table, now that I think about it. Thanks to the guardinals, animal traits should be reasonable for aasimar.

There was Warriors of Heaven which IIRC was originally developed for Planescape but was released as a generic product during the AD&D 2.5 era.

--glittery appearance to hair
--Golden hue to skin

--Nacre-like hair (hair with the color and shine of pearls)

Hey, thanks! That really helped fill out my list.

Maybe I should have asked for cosmetic traits, 'cause I'm not messing with mechanics here. But wow, that's quite a table! Did you write it yourself?

Re: Aasimar Physical Traits?
One of thing about Aasimar with traits that are very Guardinal, always reminded me of the fact that there should be some feat for Shifters (and possibly Hengeyokai) that have Guardinal blood. Since Shifters are not all necessarily "half-lycanthropes".
If you're interested in Pathfinder resources, Paizo recently released 'Blood of Fiends,' a supplement aimed toward Tiefling PCs, with all manner of tiefling-only feats, traits, sorcerer bloodlines and the like, including an updated version of that table for 3.5/PF.
Next month, they're releasing 'Blood of Angels,' the same idea but for Aasimar. It will include a table of alternate spell-like abilities for Aasimar in it.
