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

Let it blast neutrals. Maybe half damage, maybe.

A la holy smite? If we go that route, we could have the die upgrade to d8s against evil outsiders, also like that spell.

I like that idea.

 

[demiurge1138]

Sounds fine to me too.

Shall we work on SLAs now?

Aside from those abilities common to all angels, the Angel of Wrath can at will cast a Continual Light, 5’ radius equal to full daylight, Cure Serious Wounds, Quest, create a double-strength Wall of Fire three times/day and pronounce a Holy Word once/day

See the first post in this thread for common SLAs among angels.

Upthread, we decided to limit the number of SLAs for these fellows and focus more on melee.

Also, Demiurge suggested Empower SLA for the "double-strength" wall of fire.

 

[demiurge1138]

Holy Word 1/day, Empowered Wall of Fire 3/day, continuous light, cure serious wounds and geas/quest at will are unique to the angel of wrath. Let's keep detect evil, remove fear, remove curse and remove disease, and I think we should keep dispel magic as well.

It occurs to me that, in the wake of the Spell Compendium, it'd be very easy to simplify angels by just giving them panacea.

 

[Shade]

Indeed. Its a shame the SRD didn't keep getting updated, as panacea, revivify, and close wounds are all worthy additions.

Anyway...

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—cure serious wounds, daylight, detect evil, dispel magic, geas/quest, remove curse, remove disease, remove fear; 3/day—empowered wall of fire (DC x); 1/day—holy word (DC x). Caster level xth. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

 

[demiurge1138]

Well, the minimum CL for wall of fire to be empowered would be 12th. So CL 13 (equals HD, right?) would work out quite nicely.

 

[freyar]

That list looks pretty good, and so does CL 13.

Maybe I should pick up Spell Compendium sometime.

Suggestions for the golden armor and shield? AC currently looks like so...

x (+4 Dex, +x natural, +x armor, +x shield), touch x, flat-footed x

Astral devas have AC 29 (+15 natural), while planetars have AC 32 (+19 natural).

 

[freyar]

We should probably aim for a total AC near 30, then. I'd like the armor and shield to be significant, so probably no more than +10 natural, huh? Might be nice to give them special properties, too. Maybe the shield could be blinding or animated. What do you think?
