This is an add-on pack for the PC RPG *Dungeons & Dragons Online*, requiring the base game for access. It unlocks the Aasimar Scourge as a new playable race, characterized by an intense, internal divine energy that drives a powerful, sometimes overwhelming, desire to destroy evil. Released in 2017, this content enhances character creation by offering a lineage with inherent thematic conflict, though it adds no new zones or core mechanics to the existing gameplay loop.
The Aasimar Scourge is a lineage imbued with an intense, blazing divine energy. This internal power drives the character toward the destruction of evil forces. The core thematic element of this race revolves around this zealous desire; at its best, it is unflinching dedication, but at its worst, this divine fire can become all-consuming, presenting a built-in internal conflict for role-playing purposes.
This race option is now available for purchase directly through the in-game store, having previously been included as part of larger expansion bundles, such as the Mists of Ravenloft content.
The gameplay loop of Dungeons & Dragons Online remains unchanged. This pack functions purely as an extension of character customization. Upon acquisition, players gain the ability to select the Aasimar Scourge as their race when creating a new character or when using a Reincarnation feature within the base game.
The impact is entirely on character concept and narrative immersion within the existing framework of dungeons, quests, and adventures available in the main game. Players gain access to the unique racial traits associated with the Scourge Aasimar, allowing for different mechanical builds and story paths compared to other available races.
This content is not a standalone experience; it requires access to the base game, Dungeons & Dragons Online, to function. Its scope is narrow and specific: it is a feature unlock, not a content expansion in terms of map area or quest volume. It adds depth to character selection rather than breadth to the world map.
The distinction lies in the thematic tension inherent in the race itself. While many races in the game focus on external conflicts, the Scourge Aasimar introduces a significant internal struggle tied to their divine heritage. This provides a unique foundation for players who enjoy exploring themes of zealous devotion and the fine line between righteous fervor and destructive obsession within their character's narrative arc.
The game is developed by Standing Stone Games and published by Daybreak Game Company, continuing to offer this specific character option to the established player base on PC.
