| '''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.
| |

| |
|
| |
| == CR (challenge rating) ==
| |
| Same as base creature +1.
| |
|

| |
| The creature's Size does not change. Its Type remains the same but it gains the subtype Good.
| |
|
| |
| == Initiative Modifier ==
| |
| The creature's initiative modifier increases by +1.
| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
| === Aura ===
| |
| Same as Base Creature.
| |
|
| |
| === SR ===
| |
| Same as Base Creature.
| |
|
| |

| |
| The Celestial Creature gains ER Cold, Acid, and Electricity equal to its adjusted CR. It also gains DR/evil equal to its adjusted CR.
| |
|
| |
| === Immunities ===
| |
| Same as the base creature, except any keywords of evil are changed to good and vice versa.
| |
|
| |
| === Weaknesses ===
| |
| Same as Base Creature.
| |
|
| |

|
| |
| == Offensive Ability ==
| |
| A Celestial Creature gains the following abilities, which may be added to their Bestiary entry:
| |
|
| |
| === Smite Evil (Su) ===
| |
| 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 equal to its Hit Dice. Smite persists until the target is dead or the Celestial creature rests.
| |
|
| |
| == Ability Scores ==
| |
| No changes.
| |
|
| |
| == Maneuver Offense and Maneuver Defense ==
| |
| No changes.
| |
|
| |
| == Feats ==
| |
|
| |
| == Skills ==
| |
|
| |
| Sense Motive, CR+10. This is useful for detecting targets for their Smite Evil attack, if they have no other way of identifying a suitable victim (''detect alignment'', the PC who is smiting it, the PC with horns and a sign that reads "I'm Bad," etc.). Note that also makes summoning Celestial creatures for ignoble purposes a bit of a challenge if they figure out what you're doing...

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.

Smite Evil (Su; Celestial Creature Pattern)
Once per encounter, as a swift action, a Celestial creature may choose one evil-aligned creature to Smite. Once it has declared its Smite Evil target, it adds a +3 bonus to melee attack rolls, and a damage bonus, against that target only, of 2 points of damage, inflicted as
radiant (energy, uncommon) damage. Smite Evil persists until the target is dead or the end of the encounter.
