Angels: The Shield of Heaven

Servants of the Gods of Good, who stand between harm and the faithful.

How They Fight Abilities Skills & Spells Restrictions Angels of Algoron

Divine Servant Alignment: Good Power: Grace In Algoron: 3

The Angels are the servants of the Gods of Good. They were created to carry their messages and act as their private agents upon the mortal realm. Angels are normally six to eight feet tall but very swift, with a huge span of white feathered wings.

How They Fight

Angels are the shield of heaven. An angel spreads its wings over a companion with WARD and takes part of every blow meant for them. Each hurt it takes for another, each wound it heals on someone else and each rescue fills it with Grace.

Grace pays for the angel's miracles: a blinding SMITE, a SUNBURST that burns the wicked, WINGS of shelter for the whole group, and at last MARTYR'S LIGHT, when the angel gives up its own light so that a companion does not fall.

WARD your companion.
SMITE your foe.
Spend your Grace when it is full.

May rescue and ward the good and the neutral, never the evil.
Wields only its own holy weapon.

Angels are bound by the rules for remorts.

At a Glance

Serves: The Gods of Good
Ranks: Lesser Angel, Greater Angel, and a single Archangel who speaks for the gods
Grace (0–100): Taking blows for a warded ally, healing someone other than yourself, and rescuing (half for a neutral soul). It fades when there is nothing to fight.
Arms: Only its own summoned holy weapon (sword, spear, flail or staff). Shields and cloth or dragonscale cloaks, but no neck or wrist items.
Resistances: Holy power cannot touch them. Fire, cold, lightning and poison do two-thirds of their harm.
Abilities: 25 skills and 67 spells by level 51

Abilities

The gifts that set angels apart, by the level they arrive. New abilities start barely known: practice them.

Level1

Holy Weapon

Summon a glowing sword, spear, flail or staff that grows with you. Each fights differently: the sword parries more, the spear strikes first as each fight begins, the flail swings over shields, and the staff strengthens your prayers.

Level1

Ward

Spread your wings over one good or neutral companion and take part of every blow meant for them, about two-fifths at full strength and more for greater angels and the Archangel. Every hurt you take this way gives you Grace.

Level5

Smite 25 Grace for LIGHT

A weapon blow and a burst of holy flame together, burning the evil hardest. SMITE <foe> LIGHT spends Grace to sear their eyes as well.

Level15

Intercede

Fly straight to a fighting member of your group anywhere in the area and rescue them from every attacker at once.

Level16

Heat Metal

Burn an enemy through their own armor.

Level20

Aura of Valor Passive

Good and neutral companions in the room with you have better armor and saving throws. The Archangel's aura is twice as strong.

Level25

Holy Blanket

Draw a white sheet over a sleeping or resting good soul, guarding them against attackers no more than eight levels above its power. Demons slip past it far more easily.

Level30

Sunburst 40 Grace

Explode with the holy power of the sun, blinding and burning: hardest on the evil, less on neutrals, never on the good. A lesser angel strikes up to three foes; greater angels and the Archangel strike every unrighteous foe in the room. It can tear apart demonic darkness.

Level35

Judgement

Mark an evil foe. For a few rounds you and your whole group strike it harder, with weapons or holy power.

Level40

Wings of Shelter 50 Grace

Sweep your wings around every member of your group in the room. For two rounds they dodge and parry far more often.

Level51

Martyr's Light 100 Grace

When the companion you ward takes a killing blow and your Grace is full, you throw yourself into it. Your companion rises with a third of their strength, you are left with almost none, and your light takes about an hour to rekindle.

Archangel

Choir, Martyrdom & Reject

CHOIR touches every good soul in the group at once. MARTYRDOM gives the Archangel's light to any companion at a moment of its choosing. REJECT lays divine disapproval on one of good heart, so the gods will not answer them.

Any

Touch

Grant a follower the blessing of your patron god.
