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

Thanks!

Cha to 23? Any need to decrease anything to compensate?

 

[Shade]

Upon reflection, that should have been simply "ars" rather than "etars".

We could drop their Dex and give them plate armor.

 

[freyar]

That sounds like a good idea for "generals," sure.

 

[Shade]

Str 20, Dex 12, Con 20, Int 17, Wis 17, Cha 23?

 

[freyar]

That sounds about right.

Added to Homebrews.

Archangels may also use one of the following per melee round as often as desired: Spiritual Hammer (doing 9-12 points for 20 rounds), Chant (affects human types only), Dispel Evil, Flame Strike, Insect Plague, Blade Barrier, and Call Lightning. Once per day they may use Earthquake, Holy Word, Symbol.

Some of those are awfully powerful for "at will" at their HD. I'd recommend moving blade barrier, call lightning, flame strike, and insect plague to 3/day.

Chant can probably be replaced with prayer.

When acting as messengers they travel alone, but have the ability to gate in as many of their Host as is needed (at 1-3 per round).

Shall we give them a summon angel ability, usuable more than once per day?

 

[freyar]

Agreed to the SLA changes.

Also, probably 3/day summon angels, lots of "lesser" angels or maybe a few devas, automatic success.

 

[Shade]

Updated.

Which symbol spells should it get?

What other angel SLAs shall we add?

Shall we add agathions and angels of healing to the summon options? Perhaps we should add an underbar for advanced archangels, expanding their summoning power to include angels of wrath and astral devas for the "great general" level ones?

 

[freyar]

Symbols of persuasion, stunning, and maybe pain and sleep?

Your summoning ideas sound good.
