The creature resembles a towering, powerfully built human with brilliant topaz eyes, silvery (or golden) skin and gleaming white feathered wings.
Solars are greatest of the angels, usually close attendants to a deity or champions of some cosmically beneficent task (such as eliminating a particular type of wrongdoing). Solars are powerful enough to be deities themselves but choose not to have worshipers.
A Solar has a deep commanding voice, and stands about 10½ feet tall. It weighs about 800 pounds.
COMBAT
Solars are puissant champions of good. Only the most powerful fiends approach their power. Even more fearsome than their +5 vorpal dancing greatswords are their +2 composite longbows that create any sort of slaying arrow when drawn.
A solars natural weapons, as well as any weapon it wields, are treated as good-aligned and epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Their weapons will be either silver (for chaotic good solars) or cold forged iron (for lawful good solars), or a 50% chance of either (for a neutral good solar).
Regeneration (Ex): A solar takes normal damage from epic evil-algined weapons and from spells or effects with the evil descriptor.
