HD: 9
MOVE: 50 ft.
AC: 20
Attack: By Weapon
SPECIAL: Angel Powers, Special, SR 5, +1 or better to hit

The race of agathia are spirits of a beneficent and helpful sort. There are multitudes of them on the Upper Outer Planes, but when encountered on the Prime Material Plane, there will usually be but a single one. Agathia are usually sent to the Prime Material Plane by a deity or perhaps a solar to be ready to aid creatures of good disposition in confronting and defeating evil.

Agathia take a material form as desired. One encountered will typically be in human form, in the form of a beneficent creature (such as a lammasu, shedu, or unicorn).

Human form is 60% likely. In this form, the agathion will use weapons typical of a cleric and have spell powers and abilities equal to that of a 9th-level cleric. As the agathion's wisdom equals 18, bonus spells are applicable. The appearance of the agathion can be young or old, male or female, handsome or plain, rustic or urbane.

In creature form, but 30% probable, the agathion will have whatever attack forms that creature possesses and the creature's spell abilities, if any, and the powers to turn undead of a 14th-level cleric.

In addition to clerical spell powers and turning undead as noted, agathia have the following powers:
  • Save as 14th Level
    Clairaudience/Clairvoyance
    Locate Object
In its natural form, the agathion is an elf-like creature with opalescent, luminous skin and eyes which actually shine. Male and female agathia are of equal size and power. The physical touch of an agathion in natural form will send 7-14 points of positive power damage to opponents so struck.


Deva

NO. ENCOUNTERED: 1-3
SIZE: Large (7’ Tall)
HD: 14
MOVE: 50 ft., 120 ft. (flying)
AC: 28
Attack: 2 By Weapon
SPECIAL: Angel Powers, Special, SR 10,
+1 or better to hit
SAVES: M, P
INT: Genius
ALIGNMENT: Any Good
TYPE: Angel
TREASURE:
XP: 17900 + 14

Devas are principally employed in the Astral Plane or on any of the outer Lower Planes. Alone or in groups, they move about in service to their sovereigns. They are very quick, whether afoot or using their mighty pinions in flight. A deva normally carries a huge, mace like weapon which it can wield nimbly. This weapon is of +3 value when employed by a deva. Any creature struck twice in the same melee round and suffering damage in excess of 20 hit points must save vs.spell or be knocked senseless for 10 rounds.The weapon also acts as a mace of disruption.

A deva can use the spell-like powers, at will, 1 per round, at 14th level of ability:
  • Cure Critical Wounds
    Dispel Illusion
    Light (4-40 foot radius, as desired)
    Magic Circle [vs Evil]
    Neutralize Posion
    Polymorph self
    Remove curse
    Telepathy
Once per day an Deva can create a blade barrier which will last for up to 7 turns.

Devas can never be surprised. Total vacuum does no harm to devas. Their souls cannot be trapped or imprisoned. Their charisma effect is 20.

Devas are tall, slender, and graceful. They can have golden, white, or silver skin and hair, amber eyes, and large white wings tinted with gold. They otherwise resemble heroic looking humans.



Planetar

NO. ENCOUNTERED: 1
SIZE: Large (9’ Tall)
HD: 20 [d10]

A planetar is one of a powerful spirit group, numbering not fewer than 100, who Serve the deities of good alignment.One or more will typically serve as the right hand of a minor deity,while numbers of planetars will attend a major deity. These creatures inhabit the Outer Planes of Xalsium, Coraven, Arborli, but actually travel at will to any plane. If commanded by their deity they can, in fact, enter even the lowest planes of Evil. Only a solar (q.v.) is more powerful in the cause of Good.

Planetars can be of any good alignment-lawful, neutral, or chaotic. Their specific alignment is determined by the master they serve. Each planetar has 3 attacks per round, typically with a bastardsword (usable only by planetars) equal to a +4 weapon with both defender and wounding qualities, the latter effective only against creatures of Evil. For purposes of attack determination, consider each planetar to have a dexterity of 21. All planetars have spell-like abilities equal to those of a 9th-level cleric and 9th-level druid, plus bonuses to each (wisdom equals 21). In addition, they each have the following spell-like abilities which can be used 1 at a time, 1 per round:


  • Animate Object [1/time per day]
    Blade Barrier [3/times per day]
    Control Weather [1/time per day]
    Dispel Evil [3/times per day]
    Dispel Illusion [at will]
    Earthquake [1/time per day]
    Feeblemind [1/time per day]

Each planetar radiates a globe of protection from evil from individual size to a full 40-foot radius, as desired. The maintenance of the area is automatic. A planetar can commune at need. Each can always cure blindness. deafness, disease or light wounds by touch. They automatically detect evil, illusion. invisibility, lie, magic and traps. Each always has know alignment functioning automatically. A planetar can communicate by ESP or tongues as well as read any language. Once per day a planetar can gate in the indicated number (1-3) deva (q.v.).

Only +4 or better weapons affect them. They are never surprised. They are immune to any life level loss, whether from undead or magic. They cannot be beguiled, charmed. confused, dominated, or feebleminded. Their souls cannot be imprisoned or trapped. They are immune to death spells. They regenerate at a rate of 4 points per round. Unless encountered on the Upper Outer Planes, only the material body of these creatures can be harmed. The planetar's spirit returns to its own plane to reform and become corporeal again; the process requires 4 decades. Charisma effect is 21.

A planetar resembles a tall and powerful humanoid. In material form the skin is opaline, the head is hairless, and the eyes glowing blue. The winds are double and likewise opaline.

A solar is the most powerful of spirits, usually directly serving a greater deity of good alignment and typically as his or her marshal, steward, etc. On rare occasions, a solar will be found attending a lesser deity. There are at least 24 solars. They can go to any place but do so only in service to their deities. As with devas and planetars, solars can be of any good alignment lawful, neutral, or chaotic.They are totally faithful and unswerving in their alignment and loyalty.

Each solar has 4 attacks per melee round. Each has a huge composite bow (36” range) and various arrows of slaying. Each also has a sword equal to a 2-handed weapon (usable only by solars) equal to +5 with qualities of dancing and sharpness. For purposes of attack determination, consider each solar to have a dexterity of 24 .

All solars have spell abilities equal to those of a 14th level Cleric, Druid, Wizard, and Illusionist. In addition,they each have the following spell-like powers which can be used 1 at a time, 1 per round, at will:

Each solar can cast a globe of protection from evil (50 % normal effect for +3/-3) from individual size to a full 70-foot radius, the size being willed but the protection otherwise maintained automatically. This sphere also serves as protection from normal missiles and a minor globe of invulnerability. A solar can commune as needed. Each can always cure (any sort) by touch, detect (any sort, automatically), and dispel(any sort) by gaze. When laying hands upon a creature, a solar can bestow perfect adaptation to any environment for up to as long as a century. Each solar automatically knows alignment. Each has communication ability via ESP or tongues,as well as the ability to read and comprehend any sort of language. Solar Angel Vision extends to 360”. Charisma effect is 24.

Once per day a solar can gate in either a Planetar or 1d6 Devas, the option resting with the solar.

Solars are immune to acid. Only +5 or better weapons affect them. They are never surprised and always strike first against opponents with less than 22 dexterity. They are immune to life level loss from undead or magic. They cannot be beguiled, charmed, held, confused, dominated. feebleminded, paralyzed, or petrified. Their souls cannot be imprisoned or trapped. They are immune to death spells and death magic. They regenerate at a rate of 7 hit points per round. Unless on their own plane of service, only the material form of a solar can be destroyed. The solar‘s spirit returns instantly to its own plane to reform a corporeal body, but this requires a full 7 decades.

The skin of a solar is the color of molten copper, hair color is bronze,and eyes are glowing topaz. Its form is beautiful and muscular, and the deep, resonant voice is commanding. The wings are double and of a coppery-gold color.

No pun intended, but "God I hate Solars"... what's next "The God of the Abraham"? What CAN'T as Solar do at will? Just say, "Anything, anytime". Drop him in a volcano and he does not care. What place in <20th lvl PCs is a Solar? Seems way out of line for 99% of CnC.

Angels.. yuck.

Sorry, not trying to be offensive, but man, that caused some serious bad memories of trying to kill one of those things for the better part of the summer of '82 with what we thought were 1/2 a dozen Neutral to Evil, Artifact wielding, Demi-God PCs, all to no avail. Nothing brings a team together like a loathing hate for a DMs latest pet that cannot be killed... Jeff if you're out there, just stop it!
Wow, Another Natural One! You guys are a sink hole for luck. Stay away from my dice.
