[QUOTE="Question, post: 3033454, member: 40104"] What is a lantern archon going to do with teleport at will? Keep in mind he cannot carry anything, so its just him. Profession(Messenger)? Detect evil and continual flame at will is not worth any LA. At all. So the party gets free detect evil(which a paladin can do, and there are tons of ways to block that, and its mostly useful for RPing and checking which guys in the tavern are evil), and free continual flame torches(each worth slightly over 50 gp). Unless the party is abusing this by trying to mass sell continual flame torches, i dont think this is going to be an issue(and the DM can easily step in if they do try that, i doubt celestia will be impressed by a lantern archon screwing up mortal economies). DR 10/evil and magic is nice, but many many enemies the party face are completely capable of bypassing this.....quite possibly the 2nd most likely DR to be bypassed, 1st being DR/magic. And this doesnt prevent the lantern archon from dying due to his non-existent AC(full attacks FTW). A sorc with eschew materials can cast spells, but he would have a LA adjustment, and be essentially one feat down as he HAS to take eschew materials. A human sorc would beat the pants off a lantern archon sorc(as he would with any LA race with a caster class, but thats a different thing). [/QUOTE]
