Bearded Devil Corporal

Bearded Devil 6//Fighter 1/Survivor 5

Dolarnin has been granted an Ash Elemental brigade as servants as he hunts outcast devils. He attacks first and asks questions only under duress. He is a hard fought survivor of dozens of Blood War engagements; if he proves mentally nimble enough to bring home results here he's due for promotion and he knows it.

The prerequisite for survivor is really stupid. I ignored them for this.

This isn't a defeated enemy but oh well.

Anyway, I was playing with Cor's idea of a Belldandy-esque celestial wish granter. This is the result. It's somewhat raw and unpolished, I don't plan to further work on it anytime soon so I'm not worried. It's basic MO is to stay invisible and use it's nondetection to observe mortals, intervening when needed. It's a fine concept, but one that I feel is less the role of a particular caste of angels as much as a more general task within the choirs. Honestly, you could give a celestial miracle 1/day that it can only use on mortals and it would work fine.

If/when I do work on it again, I'll polish grant desires and it's SLA list, as well as rejigger it's balance. It feels a little weak to me as far as combat goes.

Grant Desires (Su)

The main mission of a Wishbringer Angel is to reward the just and alleviate the pain of evil from the righteous. To that end they travel Creation, always looking for places where the powers of Good should intervene.  When it finds such a place and chooses to intercede, several things may happen. For things that the Wishbringer Angel can solve with it's spell-like abilities, it uses them first and foremost. If it's an evil that needs to be opposed, the Wishbringer Angel will attempt to confront it if it believes it can triumph, or rally the forces of good otherwise. If neither of these are sufficient or appropriate, it may petition it's lords directly for divine intercession. If the angel's superior approves of the intervention, treat this as a miracle spell with a caster level of 20. This renders such aid to the limits of the miracle spell, though the exact manner of the aid is at the discretion of the granting powers. If the power declines to intercede, nothing happens. Wishbringer Angels are trained to use this power wisely, though the ultimate choice of intercession remains with higher powers.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Blinding Beauty (Su)

This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a nymph. Those who look directly at a nymph must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or be blinded permanently as though by the blindness spell. A nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

The save DC is Charisma-based.

A nymph casts divine spells as a 7th-level druid.

1: Entanglex2, Lesser Vigorx3
2:  Resist Energyx2, Creeping Coldx2
3: Call Lightningx2, Wind Wall
4: Bite of the Wereboar

Stunning Glance (Su)

As a standard action, a wrathful nymph can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target creature must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Unearthly Grace (Su)

A nymph adds her Charisma modifier as a bonus on all her saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to her Armor Class. (The statistics block already reflects these bonuses).

Wild Empathy (Ex)

This power works like the druid's wild empathy class feature, except that a nymph has a +6 racial bonus on the check.

Skills

A nymph has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. She can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. She can use the run action while swimming, provided she swims in a straight line.

Evil Brand

The power of Senaril's evil brand empowers her Creeping Cold spell. It may target as many creatures within thirty feet as she likes, and continues dealing 3d6 cold damage every round after the third until Senaril is slain, she leaves the area or a dispel magic ends the effect.

Ranger powers:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Casts as a 7th level ranger.

1: Longstriderx2

Animal Companion (Ex)

At 4th level, a ranger gains an animal companion selected from the following list: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, eagle, hawk, horse (light or heavy), owl, pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), or wolf. If the campaign takes place wholly or partly in an aquatic environment, the following creatures may be added to the ranger's list of options: manta ray, porpoise, Medium shark, and squid. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the ranger on his adventures as appropriate for its kind.

This ability functions like the druid ability of the same name, except that the ranger's effective druid level is one-half his ranger level. A ranger may select from the alternative lists of animal companions just as a druid can, though again his effective druid level is half his ranger level. Like a druid, a ranger cannot select an alternative animal if the choice would reduce his effective druid level below 1st.

Woodland Stride (Ex)

Starting at 7th level, a ranger may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.

However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him.

Yeah, the monk's belt came from him. In the night and the frantic battle, no one noticed a magical belt around the thing's waist. Ah well.

It was a mild mistake to have him just stay there in the first round, but keeping distance was a fair tactic. It's a shame he didn't get to shine.

No, you guys aren't baby killers. Cor was curious about potential familiars with Exalted Familiar, so here you are.

Cherub

Cherubs replace Mustevals in the cosmology, as angels replace the Guardinals. Cherubim are small, innocent creatures that appear as tiny humanesque babies, though the exact racial features sometimes vary. Creatures of peace and harmony, they like nothing more when people get along and loathe discord. They instinctively dislike and pity evil, though they lack the means to vanquish evil themselves. Angels of higher station see them as children to be cherished, protected and nurtured. Woe to he who harms a cherub around a greater angel.

Cherubim get along well with Lantern Archons, who tend to get along with the friendly spirits. Courre eladrin also get along with them well, often playing small pranks on cherubim.

Most cherubim take peaceful classes, such as Healer. A few who lose their innocence may take more martially focused classes, though these cherubim tend to promote soon into forms more suiting them.

Finally, do note that cherum and kerub are different things, and there's certain overlap here with the term. This isn't likely to come up with you guys unless you get really high level.

I did the Faces of Loss on a random burst of inspiration. It's nice to keep my high/epic level design skills honed. I'd put them at CR 15 or so. I didn't intend for you guys to ever fight one, so don't worry.

Faces of Loss are shadows that have gained Shar's favor. They are touched by the Lady of Loss, gaining profane powers to terrorize the living. They are assassins and shock troops, used to eliminate mortal threats, aid powerful servants of Shar and protect holy sites of the Sharran faith. Unlike normal shadows, Faces of Loss are intelligent and malicious killers. They favor surprise attacks, slaughtering foes in one swoop and passing into solid matter to prevent counter attacks. They then watch former enemies rise as greater shadows under it's command, while many of it's enemies cannot even lift a finger to oppose the Face of Loss.

Faces of Loss often gestalt as fighters and rogues.  A handful explore other options, such as swashbuckler or blackguard. They favor classes with good base attack bonus advancement over other features. Faces of Loss are never wizards, sorcerers, clerics or other casters. The only exception is favored souls, a few extremely vile shadows have become favored souls of Shar.

Create Spawn (Su)

Any humanoid reduced to Strength 0 by a Face of Loss becomes a greater shadow under the control of its killer 1 round later.

Face of Loss (Su)

The most devastating ability of the Faces of Loss is the ability to appear to others as dear people and friends they have lost. All creatures within 60 feet that view the Face of Loss sees a shadow with a twisted, pained face of a lost loved one, friend or other person of emotional impact. Any creature that sees this must make a DC 29 will save or be consumed with overwhelming feelings of failure and loss. They believe that they failed their friend and cursed them to this eternal unlife. As a result of this, under no circumstances will the victim take any action to harm or oppose the Face of Loss, certain that they will only make it worse. This includes attacking, augmenting or helping allies who are fighting the Face of Loss, turning undead or any other action at the DM's discretion. Those that pass the will save are momentary unsettled, but suffer no other effects.

Creatures attacked by the Face of Loss are allowed a second saving throw against this ability. In addition, any creature who sees the Face of Loss slay a living creature also receive a second saving throw. A victim is allowed as many secondary saves as the Face of Loss provokes, though they may only make one per round. Creatures that have never suffered loss, such as an innocent child or certain celestials, are immune to this ability. Instead of a lost one's face, they only see emptiness in place of the shadow's face. True Seeing does not bypass this ability, but it does grant a +4 circumstance bonus to the will save to resist Face of Loss.

The save DC is charisma based and includes a +4 racial bonus. This is a mind affecting ability.

Shadow Jump (Su)

A Face of Loss can travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow. A Face of Loss can jump up to a total of 160 feet each day in this way; this may be a single jump of 20 feet or two jumps of 10 feet each. This amount can be split among many jumps, but each one, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment.

Shar's Favor (Ex)

The touch of Shar grants the Faces of Loss Shar's personal protection. This is treated as a +6 profane bonus to armor class and saving throws.

Strength Drain (Su)

The touch of a Face of Loss deals 1d8 points of Strength drain to a living foe. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow dies. This is a negative energy effect.

Unholy Toughness (Ex)

A Face of Loss applies it's charisma bonus times it's hit dice as a bonus to hit points, just as a living creature applies it's constitution bonus times it's hit dice as a bonus to hit points.
