Ok, according to the SRD, Celestial creatures get these abilities.
Smite Evil once per day
Darkvision 60ft
Acid, Cold and Electricity Resistance based on HD up to 20
Damage Reduction based on HD up to 10/+3
Now, somehow, if you take that creature and mate him with a human, you now get
Half Celestial
Type becomes outsider
75% chance of wings
Natural Armor +1
Light at will
Once per day the following abilities
Level Abilities
----- ---------
1-2 Protection from evil, 3/day, bless
3-4 Aid, detect evil
5-6 Cure serious wounds, neutralize poison
7-8 Holy smite, remove disease
9-10 Dispel evil
11-12 Holy word
13-14 Holy aura 3/day, hallow
15-16 Symbol
17-18 Summon monster IX (celestials only)
19+ Resurrection
Low light vision
Immune to Acid, Cold, Disease, and Electricity
+4 Racial bonus to Poison saves
Str +4, Dex +2, Con +4, Int +2, Wis +4, Cha +4
What is with that? I mean you would think a Full Celestial creature would be more powerfull than a Half Celestial but no. The ECL for a Celestial is +2 and the ECL for a Half Celestial is +4.
Anyone have an explanation?
