[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 2337333, member: 6562"] Aaah, I see. I would NOT allow that... unless you separated out the goodies granted by HD and the goodies granted by the +8 LA, and somehow balanced them. (And by "goodies granted by HD" I do not just mean BAB and skill points. I mean "what are these 12 somewhat sub-optimal HD compensating for?". Are the base Angel Traits a part of HD or LA? They are: Angel Traits An angel possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry). * Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision. * Immunity to acid, cold, and petrification. * Resistance to electricity 10 and fire 10. * +4 racial bonus on saves against poison. * Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s HD). This aura can be dispelled, but the angel can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel’s statistics block.) * Tongues (Su): All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active. ... pretty darn good.) I think it's possible to sift out a chunk of Astral Deva parts worth +8 LA, but I'm sure it's not easy. -- N [/QUOTE]
