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

[demiurge1138]

I'd move all of those you call 3/day to 1/day, honestly. They're pretty serious.

 

[Shade]

Fair enough. Updated.

Looking at the other angels, I'd recommend we add continual flame, detect evil, discern lies, dispel magic, and holy smite as at will SLAs, and plane shift 3/day. Most angels have raise dead at least 1/day, even the lowly movanic deva.

I'm happy with those suggestions. For the summoning, maybe 1d6, 1d4, 1d3, 1, and 1 respectively? Not entirely sure.

 

[demiurge1138]

The suggested SLAs are fine by me.

Updated.

Virtually never will an Archangel appear himself if less than a massive attack of Devils is involved.

Shall we give them a silver greatsword since they seem inclined to fight devils? It should also be +3 with another property, if compared to similar-powered angels.

It looks like, for their CR, around +12 natural armor, giving them a total AC of 20. That's a tad poor compared to other angels, so I'd recommend a slight boost to natural armor, maybe magical full plate, and perhaps switching to bastard sword and shield again. Thoughts?

 

[demiurge1138]

I like magical full plate, a silver sword (perhaps evil outsider bane).

Wait. With +12 natural armor, their AC will be 30 (10 + 8 for plate + 12 for natural). You forgot the base 10. Which is a pretty reasonable number.

 

[Shade]

Oops, I sure did. Yeah, 30 is more than adequate.

 

[freyar]

I'll agree to all that. Including evil outsider bane silvered sword.

Updated.

Spell resistance 22 like the equal CR monadic deva?

Skills: 11 at 14 ranks (includes -6 armor check penalty)
Concentration, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spot...

Feats: 4
Leadership isn't really appropriate for monsters, is it?

 

[freyar]

SR 22 works.

Those skills plus Disguise, Gather Information, Knowledge (religion), Ride? Or I could see Survival for tracking down fiends. Or Heal. What do you think?

No, I don't think we should use Leadership. I was almost tempted to go for Whirlwind Attack, but there aren't enough feats for that. How about Empower SLA (prayer), Stand Still, Power Attack, Lightning Reflexes?
