| Description| '''Celestial Creature''' is a pattern that can be added to any creature that is a Good variant of a base creature.  Silver puddings, Celestial Orcs, good-guy Ogres, and so forth can be created with this pattern. Celestial Creature can be used to widen the variety of bad guys available to a group of Evil Aligned players, or it can be used to flesh out strange alternate Lateral Material Planes where things are topsy-turvy, and mirror images of 'normal' monsters exist. Celestial can also be used to create followers and henchmen for your NPC Constituents.  The little old Gnomish Mayor may seem a lot more substantial when the players realize she has a pet Silver Worm that she dotes on....

Revision as of 20:23, 27 January 2021

Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Celestial Creature Pattern (+1 CR)

Alignment: changes to Pure Good
Subtype: add Good to subtypes


Celestial Creature is a pattern that can be added to any creature that is a Good variant of a base creature. Silver puddings, Celestial Orcs, good-guy Ogres, and so forth can be created with this pattern. Celestial Creature can be used to widen the variety of bad guys available to a group of Evil Aligned players, or it can be used to flesh out strange alternate Lateral Material Planes where things are topsy-turvy, and mirror images of 'normal' monsters exist. Celestial can also be used to create followers and henchmen for your NPC Constituents. The little old Gnomish Mayor may seem a lot more substantial when the players realize she has a pet Silver Worm that she dotes on....

This creature seems to be empowered by some kind of dangerous celestial might.

Once per encounter, as a swift action, a Celestial creature may choose one evil-aligned creature to Smite. Once it has declared its Smite target, it adds a +3 bonus to melee attack rolls, and a damage bonus against that target only equal to its Hit Dice. Smite persists until the target is dead or the end of the encounter.
