This beautiful, angelic figure stands as tall as human with long, white feathered wings and a perfectly formed body. A radiance of light surrounds the creature's body, shining with a supernatural aura of goodness.

Angels of the Ninth Order are the most-used angels for the carrying of messages, warnings, etc. to other planes. They serve also at the call of the angels of the other Orders and assist them in their tasks.

An angel of the Ninth Order is about 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.

Combat
Angels of the Ninth Order can appear in any form they choose. Most commonly they appear as human warriors with white robes and holy swords or hammers which only they can use.

An angel of the Ninth Order's natural weapons, as well as any weapon it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Dual Mind (Su): An angel of the Ninth Order is capable of making a melee attack and using a spell-like ability, simultaneously. This is a full-round action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The angel cannot use this ability with ranged attacks.

Spell-like Abilities: At will - blade barrier (DC 20), cure light wounds, hold person (DC 16), plane shift (DC 19), polymorph (self only), purify food and drink, remove disease, speak with dead (DC 17), tongues. Caster Level: 8th. 1/day - control weather. Caster Level: 12th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

 

[Knightfall]

Did a bit more on the Angel of the Ninth Order, and eyeballed some numbers for the other angels. (Figures in underlined braces.)

Been very sick the last week or so, thus my energy comes and goes. I need to take a nap and then I'll be back to finalize the 9th order angel's skills. After that, archangels are next on my list.

I also have to do some prep work for my game this week, which will likely take prescidence.

Cheers!

A heavenly presence seems to protect the spot where you are standing. Out of the corner of your eye you glimpse a kingly figure bathed in light. Its face is peaceful but resolute. As you turn towards it shimmers away, yet you can still feel it there.

The Order of the Principalities is entrusted with the duty of protecting religion, and its temples, and priests. They also watch over the leaders of the people.

An angel of the Principalities primary concern is to prevent the powers of evil from having too much sway. They prefer to work by inspiration rather than taking any direct action when dealing with earthly rulers.

A large, winged angelic figure stands before you. Its heavenly presence bodes ill for any creature that would commit evil. Its perfect form seems to order all that exists around it — opposing chaos.

Power angels are more frequent visitors to the Material Plane than most types of Angels. They are zealous in their dedication to maintaining the order, as it should be.

A power angel stands 12 feet tall and weighs about 660 pounds.

Combat
Power angels are the chief opponents of demons (rather than devils), because it is demons that strive for chaos.

A power angel's natural weapons, as well as any weapon it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Spell-like Abilities: At will – blade barrier (DC 21), continual flame, flame strike (DC 20), hold monster (DC 21), hold person (DC 18), silence (DC 17), stone tell, true seeing; 1/day – earthquake, holy word (DC 22, banishment effect), resurrection.

Note that I will get back to these, eventually, but my current campaign is taking up most of my time. Plus, I'm thinking hard about how I want to approach doing the last four on the list.

The Dominations won't be too much of a challenge, but the Thrones have me thinking and rethinking how I'm going to do them, as it seems like they should have multiple forms.

The Cherubim and The Seraphim will also be a bit challenging to do properly, as I'm going to design them to be more Epic than the other angels.

Hmm, decisions... decisions.

What??? Are you actually putting your own players before the eager monster-viewers of ENWorld? For shame....

I love this stuff. Great job! I've been wondering about including more regular "Angels" in my Planescape campaign. Thank you very much!

 

[Knightfall]

What??? Are you actually putting your own players before the eager monster-viewers of ENWorld? For shame....

Yes, yes I am.

Seriously though, it's the first time in ages that I have a gaming group to concentrate on more than just monster or world creation.

I love this stuff. Great job! I've been wondering about including more regular "Angels" in my Planescape campaign. Thank you very much!

Thanks, I'll get back to this thread when the mood strikes me. Right now I've got too many Real Life^TM issues to deal with, including some nasty pain in the lower part of my left leg.

I went to the hospital last Friday to have them check for a blood clot, since the leg was swollen really bad. They didn't find anything, which is disturbing since I was sure that was what it was going to be. (I've had a blood clot before, so I know what the symptoms are.)

I'm also having problems with painful sciatica again, which was a major problem about a year ago. It's possible that my calf pain is the sciatica migrating to a new location, which is definitely possible.

Anyway, I'm rambling now.
