SPECIAL TRAITS

  • Change Face. As a bonus action, the angel of judgment can change its face and demeanor to exhibit aspects of chaos or law, as needed by its assignment. It can have only one face active at a time and can end the effect on its turn as a bonus action.
    • Face of Chaos. The angel of judgment becomes a harbinger of chaos. It is treated as a fiend by spells and other magical effects that affect fiends and has advantage on attack rolls against celestials and devils.
    • Face of Law. The angel becomes a harbinger of law and has advantage on attack rolls against demons, fey, and undead.
  • Divine Awareness. The angel of judgment knows if it hears a lie.
  • Magic Resistance. The angel of judgment has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  • Penance Gaze. When a creature that can see the angel of judgment’s eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the angel, the angel can force it to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw if the angel isn’t incapacitated and can see the creature. On a failure, the creature is stunned until the start of its next turn. On a success, the creature is restrained. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can’t see the angel until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the angel in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

ABOUT

A gold-furred, lion-headed angel with white wings gives an intense stare, releasing a roar as it raises a flaming greatsword.

Angelic enforcers are lion?headed celestials that hunt rogue angels.

Divine Mission. Angelic enforcers are made from souls selected for their unwavering adherence to the tenants of law and good. These elite angels have a special task: police other angels that go rogue. If an angel breaks one of its god’s tenets but remains good at heart, the enforcers usually only seek to capture the offending celestial to stand trial in the upper planes. If an angel becomes fully corrupted by evil, one or more enforcers are sent to destroy the fallen celestial.

Nothing Gets in the Way. Angelic enforcers show no mercy to any creature or obstacle between them and their quarries.

Those who obstruct the enforcers stand in the way of divine justice and are therefore considered agents of evil. Any killings or collateral damage done by enforcers are usually seen as the fault of their quarry for stepping out of line in the first place.

Immortal Nature. An angelic enforcer doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.
