Thank you for the feedback. The exact wording from Volo's was "...at the end of each of your turns, you and each creature within 10 feet of you take radiant damage equal to half your level (rounded up)." The new text changes it to "...at the end of each of your turns, each creature within 10 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to your proficiency bonus."
I understand your position is that you, the caster, are 'within 10 feet' by existing at the center, but I do not believe that is the intended effect any more. Otherwise, they would keep the previous written description and would not have removed 'you' from the equation.
I would agree that the intention of such a change would be that the Aasimar doesn't take the damage. But it would have been really helpful if they would have actually stated that instead of being silent on it. Other radius effects in the game comes with the assumption that the point of origin is also affected unless it says it isn't. This is some really poor writing from WotC IMO.
