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

[Shade]

Wikipedia implies nothing out-of-the-ordinary for angels in their appearance (unless you get into the "wheel" variant). So we can probably use the same as solar...

A solar has a deep and commanding voice, and stands about 9 feet tall. It weighs about 500 pounds.

Let's do 8 feet and 350-400 lb.

 

[Shade]

Any particular reason to make them smaller than solars and planetars?

 

[freyar]

Oh, I missed planetars are the same. Ok, 9ft and 500lb it is.

 

[Shade]

Updated. How's it looking?

 

[freyar]

Pretty good!

Advancement: 30-43 HD (Large), 44-57 HD (Huge)?

 

[Shade]

How about 30-33 HD (Large); 34-68 HD (Huge) so it fits between the solar and cherub (as it does in CR and hierarchy)?

 

[freyar]

Actually, why do the cherub and seraph grow a size category with their first HD advancement? The planetar, solar, and astra deva all start with X HD and advance as X+1 - 1.5 X HD (same), 1.5 X + 1 - 3X HD (one larger). That's what I was just doing with the throne. The cherub and seraph have X+1 - 1.5X HD (one larger), 1.5X+1 - 3X HD (two larger). Is there a reason we did that?

 

[Shade]

I believe this stemmed from basing the toughest of the bunch, the seraphim, off the infernals.

I'm fine with going back and refiguring the Advancement of all the angels we've converted from this issue, though.

I'm fine with going either way, really, but I was curious. Anyone have a strong opinion?
