host (10-200)?

5 1/2 to 6 ft, 150-250 lb?

Also doesn't affect land speed. These are magical creatures with cool armor. :cool:
 


These look about done!

Do we want to come up with an alternate name along the lines of solar, planetar, or some kind of deva?

Dunno. I'm kinda OK with having them be a bit different. BOZ and I had earmarked the seraphim as "seraphic deva" in our query, but left the rest as "angel of x" or "x angel". What are your preferences?

Type II: The Angel of Healing. This beautiful winged woman in white robes often appears miraculously in response to the prayers of the sick, the wounded, and the dying. She has the power to, at will, Cure Serious Wounds, Cure Disease, Cure Blindness, Insanity and Paralyzation, Neutralize Poison, Remove Curse, Raise Dead Fully, Create Food and Water, Dispel Evil, Dispel Exhaustion (as the Illusionist spell), Cast Continual Light, 10’ r., and Strength (as the Magic-User spell). Her touch has the ability of Regeneration. If necessary, she fights with a Flaming Sword. Magic resistance is 75%. Armor class 9, moves 15/24 ¼, six dice.

Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #17 (1978).

Here's how BOZ and I pegged 'em in our query...

Angel, Hospitaler (Outsider, CR 8)
Looks like a beautiful winged human in white robes. Hospitaler angels are sent in response to the prayers of the sick, the wounded, and the dying. A hospitaler angel wields a +2 flaming shortsword. In addition to the usual angel abilities, a hospitaler angel can lay on hands and remove disease and other negative conditions by touch. Its spell-like abilities are focused on healing and restoring life.
Originally appeared as "Type II: The Angel of Healing" in Dragon #17, "Messengers of God: Angels in Dungeons and Dragons, Stephen H. Dorneman.

I was thinking they might function in some ways like the healer class.
 

I don't really know the healer class, but it sounds like a start. Is "Raise Dead Fully" = Resurrection?

They seem to be pretty low CR from a combat focus, even with only 6HD. That probably puts them near hound archons, but I think I'd swap the physical with mental stats. So maybe Str 10, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 13?
