[QUOTE="Planesdragon, post: 1130517, member: 11133"] [b]My thoughts.[/b] He feels a bit too front-loaded at 5th level--five hit dice, +5 BAB, and loads of special abilities. But D&D tends to be front-loaded, and your advancement chances aren't very high. Angels/Celestials aren't lawyers. They have a tendency to confront evil wherever they see it, but they also should be willing to forgive--especially if the evil is slight and done against another evil. Plus, IME, inter-party strife isn't always a bad thing. As long as there's something else to congeal the party, it should just make for a more-fun game. A good way to balance Angels, IMO (I'm going to incorprorate it into my full-fledged angel rules, once I finally get them fleshed out more) is to require specific commands. While it's generally bad to balance rules with RP, angels are probably a good exception--no one wants to be a special-ability less monk when all of the angel's celestial abilitys are taken away for violating divine writ.
