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

Sure, that's fine, too. So keep empowered blade barrier...

Organization: Solitary, pair, or host (3-4 plus up to 44 HD of lesser angels)?

Challenge Rating: 26 (like the infernal)?

Advancement: x

A seraph is x feet tall and weighs x pounds. (Solars and planetars are both 9 foot and 500 pounds)

It's got less HP and a worse summoning than an infernal, equal AC (when we count the protective aura), but can do a ton more damage in melee and has superior spell firepower. I'm on the fence between CR 26 and 27.

I see these guys as towering over the solars. 12 feet, let's say? How much does a stone giant weigh? 1500 pounds? Then again, they are made of stone...

Stone giants are 1,500 pounds, which doesn't seem excessive for their size (compared to other giants, like the really heavy fire giants), so I think that will work.

Let's lean towards CR 27 for the sheer versatility of their SLAs.

SR 40? Angels don't have a specific formula for spell resistance, but often skew higher than average.

 

[demiurge1138]

SR 40 sounds fine.

Advancement: 45-66 HD (Huge), 67-72 HD (Gargantuan)?

That follows the solar size progression, and the infernal's max HD.

 

[demiurge1138]

Sure!

While adding flavor text, I found something we missed:

Seraphim often take on the form of a fiery serpent when smiting the forces of Evil.

Do we want to do anything with that?

It would seem inefficient for dual-wielding greatswords. I'm not sure, maybe some intimidating illusion effect?
