Lightning angels appear as beautiful humans wrapped in metal wires that buzz with electricity. A lightning angel fights with an electrical passion, seeking to vaporize evil where it is found.

Combat
Lightning angels love to use the quicken spell-like ability feat, so that they may blast away with lightning and enjoy the rapture of righteous combat with evil in the same round.

Spell-Like Ablilities: At will - aid, color spray, cure light wounds, detect evil, dispel magic, lightning bolt, and see invisibility; 3/day - Chain Lightning.

Electrification (Su): A metallic weapon wielded by a lightning angel is deals an additional 1d6 electricity damage. This stacks with any shock or shocking burst properties the weapon may have. Someone who deals damage to a lightning angel with a metal weapon is subject to 1d6 electricity damage as well.

Righteous Lightning (Su): Any electrical effects generated within 60 feet of a lightning angel are considered to be half divine energy, and thus, half of all electricity damage is not subject to electricity resistance.

Celestial Qualities: Protective aura, electricity and petrification immunity, cold and acid resistance 20, tongues, +4 save against poison.

 

[Knight Otu]

An interesting celestial. The math seems to add up in all cases, and the CR seems fitting.

Is there a special reason for the comparably low Con score?

 

[gamecat]

I felt the low con w/ high dex is appropriate for lightning, fast, but not tough.

Dya think a Lightning Angel fits into the Summon Monster tables?

 

[Knight Otu]

I don't have the Dragon mag that has guidelines for the Summon spells handy, but I'd say a Summon Monster IX should be appropriate.

 

[Krishnath]

Gamecat: Looks good to me.

Knight: I don't have that particular dragon article, would It be to much to ask for you to send me the summoning guidelines as I am in need of them? If not, could you please tell me what # of dragon these quidelines could be found in, so I would have a chance to find it?

Later,

 

[Knight Otu]

Knight: I don't have that particular dragon article, would It be to much to ask for you to send me the summoning guidelines as I am in need of them?

I'll go looking for it later today. It's mostly based on CR.

 

[Krishnath]

That was as I suspected, I thank thee oh most honorable of knights

 

[Knight Otu]

Heh, there are certain other features it could be based upon, such as hit dice, flight, intelligence, spell-like abilities...


Of course, they all affect CR, so this is an obvious starting point.

It's in Dragon #302... you might want to check your mailbox soon.

 

[Krishnath]

That I will do, You are a most honorable individual. If there is anything I can do, name it (within reason of course... )

 

[Knight Otu]

Now that I think of it... some pointers to details of the maztican rain dragon might be helpful...
