Special Conversion Thread: Angels (and possibly other heavenly creatures)

[Shade]

Rather than list out specific amounts of each type of angel, what about allowing them to summon a total number of Hit Dice of angels equal to their own Hit Dice total?

In other words, it could call 2 solars. Or it could call one solar, one astral deva, and one monadic deva. This would allow for all the non-core angels, without us having to list substitituions and whatnot. Thoughts?

 

[demiurge1138]

Agreed. It makes the accounting easier. I think, however, that we should give your examples in the text.

 

[Shade]

Good idea. Updated.

+5 greatswords?

Damage reduction 20/epic and evil?

Regeneration 20?

 

[freyar]

Yes, yes, yes. In particular, I don't think the weapons need to be any fancier due to Holy Power.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Target AC?

Slam damage? Infernals deal 4d6 with their claws, despite being only Large.

 

[demiurge1138]

Target AC should be in the mid-40s, I think.

4d6 for the slams sounds a bit much--they are weapon users, after all. 2d6, maybe?

 

[Shade]

Solars and planetars are 2d8 for slam attacks, so at least that good.

 

[freyar]

Either 2d8 or 3d6?

 

[demiurge1138]

I'll go for 2d8.

 

[Shade]

Solar has +21 natural. Infernal has +34 natural. Maybe +30 for seraph, giving it a total AC of 45?
