Message: <blockquote data-quote="gpetruc" data-source="post: 740829" data-attributes="member: 2255">I was considering a new creature for a homebrew world where the world, that was once full of good and happiness, has been suddenly changed by some sort of cataclysm and now there are no gods, nearly no celestials (called angels) and some demons/devils have appeared (they weren't there before the cataclysm)I'm without the monster book now and so I'll post the general ideas for now and I'll make the stats later.Angel of TragedySometimes happens that a celestial creature sees some horrible events take place and is unable to change them; he/she sees Good fall in darkness without any hope of salvation, sees misery and suffering. In this case his/her holy soul might freeze, and all positive feelings abandon his/her heart; only a deep suffering remains. CR should be about 7The creature should look like a winged angel, but with a grey color (a bit like a stone statue). It can also appear in an alternative form (humanlike, usually beautifull but sad)The allineament is true neutral-> Attacks: the touch of an angel of tragedy deals temporary strenght damage (1d4, fort halves DC 16 ?), that goes off the next dawn. Creatures who are reduced to 0 strenght fall asleep and cannot be awaken until the next dawn-> Also, it has something like a gaze attack: anyone that looks in his/her eyes is overwhelmed by tragic feelings. Must make a Will save (DC 16 ?) or be unable to do anything (treat as dazed) for 1d6 rounds. In any case it takes a -4 morale penalty to all attacks, saves and checks until the next dawn. This is active also in human form. Evil creatures receive a +2 bonus to saves against this effect-> Aura of Hoplessness: anybody in a 10ft radius from the angel receives a -1 morale penalty to all attacks, checks and saves. This is active also in human form-> Protection from Evil: Even if partially fallen, an angel is still an angel, and thus protected from any evil. It is always active as the spell. Can be dispelled, but the angel can recreate it as a free action on his/her next round.-> Telepathy: An angel is able co communicate with any creature in a 50ft radius that is able to speak at least one language, but can speak only to one creature per round. -> Curse: anyone deliberatly killing an Angel of Tragedy receives a curse (-4 to all attacks, saves and checks). This is treated exactly as a Bestow Curse spell, except that an evil caster can remove it only with Limited Wish, Wish or Miracle.-> Angels of Tragedy speek Common, Auran and Celestial.This shouldn't be a combat opponent but more as a RP challenge (but it can also take part of some combat: for example one of the creatures kidnapped by the evil guys is actually an angel who does not try to escape with her powers, as she has lost any hope in future and so cares very little of what might happen to her).Suggestions ?Any stat proposals ? how many HD ?</blockquote>
