[QUOTE="Shade, post: 4572662, member: 287"] This thread will focus on the remaining unconverted angels in Dragon Magazine #17 and #35. We may then expand it to other celestial creatures that have not yet been converted. [B]Angel Traits:[/B] An angel possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry). [list] [*]Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision. [*]Immunity to acid, cold, and petrification. [*]Resistance to electricity 10 and fire 10. [*]+4 racial bonus on saves against poison. [*]Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s HD). This aura can be dispelled, but the angel can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel’s statistics block.) [*]Tongues (Su): All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active. [/list] Angels speak Celestial, Infernal, and Draconic, though they can speak with almost any creature because of their tongues ability. [B]Common Spell-like Abilities Among Angels[/B] aid - all but planetar commune - monadic and movanic devas, solar continual flame - all cure X wounds - all devas detect evil - all discern lies - all dispel magic or greater dispel magic - all but movanic deva heal - astral deva, solar holy smite - all plane shift - all devas polymorph - all raise dead - all except astral deva and solar (solar has ressurection, though) remove curse - all remove disease - all remove fear - all "Greater Angels" (solar and planetar) Only: earthquake greater restoration lesser restoration mass charm monster power word stun waves of exhaustion waves of fatigue Always active on "greater angels": detect evil, detect snares and pits, discern lies, see invisibility, and true seeing.
