[QUOTE="Hawke, post: 4715731, member: 61721"] I read this D&D:Deva prior to reading the PHB2 entry and found I was really disappointed with the final result. Devas that are actually beautiful as described in the article did not come across that way in the art. First, dropping the wings for "prefers armor with wings" really ended up being a cop out. In addition, the flat big giant make-up isn't any sort of mystical beauty as I would imagine. The idea that they are completely immobile when not interacting seems to really hurt the feeling. Oh well, I definitely will be reflavoring them with complex skin designs (thin, super complex) and having small wings as part of their look. I'm just really shocked seeing them devolve so thoroughly visually from a concept of angelic beauty and detached goodness through lifetimes of reincarnation to a make-up job that looks like a bad star trek alien.
