[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 4191796, member: 1003"] They're old [S]testament[/S] school. But seriously, the Angels are the Warriors of God. Not the kind healers of God, the warriors. Warriors kill things. That's why we call them warriors. Even Angels can't be good at everything. Whoa, where did your mention of devils come from? Devils are very different from angels, both subjectively and in the stat block. I thought your problem was "Angels of Pelor" being the same as "Angels of Bane." Am I wrong? I'm OK with the Angels of Bane being the same as Angels of Pelor. It's OK because they'll be engaged for different reasons; sent on different missions; have different motives; etc. BUT, even though Pelor and Bane wreak vengeance for different reasons, vengeance gets wreaked in pretty similar ways, and usually with pretty similar results. I'm cool with that because the alternative is having 50 different Angels of Vengeance, ones that avenge with treachery, and ones that avenge with hate, and ones that avenge with love, tulips and sunshine, etc. etc. No thanks. I'm also cool with that because I like the feeling of saying "PC's, you stand before the inner Sanctum of Pelor, long lost to the ages. Upon a balcony attached to each column of the knave stands an angel, 20' tall and shining with radiance. Their swords are undulled by standing watch for 10,000 years, their attention has not wavered. Anyone who crosses the threshold must swear their life to the service of Pelor, or be destroyed." Yeah, Pelor is about honor and sunlight, but his tolerance of anything that isn't honorable and sunlit is on par with Eyrnthul's tolerance for lolcats. [/QUOTE]
