[QUOTE="Shade, post: 4572671, member: 287"] We'll start with the angels in Dragon Magazine #17: Abilities common to all the angels are: Teleportation (no chance of error), Continual Light (of varying degree), Bless, Fear and Detect Evil. All angels can speak any human tongue as well as Speak With Dead. The very presence of an angel turns undead as a Patriarch. Angels are immune to psionic attack and to the Finger of Death. Each of the four types of angels has a general purpose, with special abilities commensurate with that purpose. The four types are: [B]Type I: The Angel of Wrath.[/B] This angel appears as a whitewinged, haloed, male warrior in golden armor and shield. They often appear on the side of Law in fateful battlefield conflicts with Chaos, to rally warriors for a holy cause, and as holy guardians. The Angel of Wrath wields a +5 Holy Sword in battle (the sword, along with the golden armor and shield, disappears if the angel is vanquished). Aside from those abilities common to all angels, the Angel of Wrath can at will cast a Continual Light, 5’ radius equal to full daylight, Cure Serious Wounds, Quest, create a double-strength Wall of Fire three times/day and pronounce a Holy Word once/day. Without the Holy Sword, magic resistance is 65%. Armor class O, can only be hit by magic weapons, moves 12/24”, and has ten (eight-sided) hit dice. BOZ and I had submitted a query on angels back when Dragon Magazine was still around, and here was our suggestion for these guys: Angel, Wrath (or Wrathbringer) (Outsider, CR 13) Appears as a beautiful humanoid with white wings garbed in shining golden armor. Wrath angels are sent to punish evildoers and battle fiends. A wrath angel wields a +3 holy longsword and bears magical armor and shield. In addition to the usual angel abilities, a wrath angel has a retributive strike ability similar to that of the Wrath domain (Book of Exalted Deeds), allowing it to make an attack of opportunity once per round against a creature that damage it. It is surrounded by a vengeance halo (Book of Exalted Deeds), which deals divine damage to its slayer upon its death. [/QUOTE]
