power pasties
They have wings, and instead of turning into balls of faerie light they turn into clouds of glowing shards that can rend flesh and hurt incorporeal creatures. They're Large, and not slender like the shiere. They don't have the ability to disguise themselves. They battle for freedom across the planes instead of defending the eladrin courts. Instead of riding war-horses, they fly. In other words, they have virtually nothing in common except the first three letters of their name. And that they're both eladrins.
The other eladrin breeds are pretty much the same as always, though the tulani have more hit dice and some new abilities.
They mention the shirokinukatsukami. Nothing else.
Yes. On page 36.
Shockingly, they changed it so that instead of biting people sword archons use swords.
The origin of the bite attack was that in the 1e Manual of the Planes and in the 2nd edition Monstrous Compendium Outer Planes Appendix sword archons had cats' heads. In Planes of Law, Tony DiTerlizzi drew them with human heads and beaklike noses for some reason, but their feline bite remained for some other reason.
No bite, now, or beak. They have arms that turn into holy flaming longswords. I think it's better this way.
Kobold Avenger said:How Shiradi are different from the Shiere?

And out of the celestial index do they even mention any of the Lung Dragons from OA (or anything else from that book)?

Before someone else asks this question, are there Nipple Clamps of Exquisite Pleasure?
Yes. On page 36.
Do Sword Archons still have a ridiculously powerful bite, which I never figured out how it could be that strong based on their size and lack of fangs in 2e?
