Amusingly, Gary Gygax made the same error way back in the original AD&D Player's Handbook (describing monks as "monastic aesthetics").

To me, more than using the wrong word, I'm wondering *why* the author would describe the man as "ascetic" at that moment. Just mentioning the paleness is sufficient to point up his new pallor as unusual. And if the author was trying to use "ascetic" as a synonym for "thin and drawn" (which it isn't), it's still redundant unless mentioning that the man was looking thin even for him.

She might have been trying to say "handsome" but that makes no sense in the context of that sentence.
