• Immutable Form. The iron angel is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

  • At will: detect evil and good, detect magic, heretic’s mark*
  • 3/day each: angelic executioner*, hunter’s mark, locate object, longstrider
  • 1/day each: burning halo*, freedom of movement, locate creature

ACTIONS

• Rage of Iron. The iron angel sets itself ablaze, turning into an angel of molten metal for 1 minute. For the duration, the iron angel emanates a 10-foot-radius aura of immense heat. When a non-good or non-lawful creature enters the aura for the first time on a turn or ends its turn within, it takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. If a non-lawful ally enters the aura, the iron angel moves accordingly not to harm the ally.

ABOUT

An iron angel is an angel forged by fire from iron. Their faith in law and in good are so intense that they burn with divine fire when they unleash their fury against enemies, which causes them to look like angels in the shape of molten metal.

Divine Creation. An iron angel is an angel and doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.

Molten Swords. Only the souls of righteous warriors who wish to continue battling after they die are worked in the angelic forges and reshaped as iron angels. When a devoted soul becomes an iron angel, it also receives a pair of blessed, molten weapons as a gift. Each of these swords is unique to its owner, and disappears when its owner dies. When an iron angel receives a target to destroy, it can write the name of the target within the blade by using a forge, which is made easier by the weapon being molten. When it does so, the iron angel deals double damage to the target with these weapons.

Restless Hunters. An iron angel’s duty is to seek and destroy the enemies of the forces of good. Once it starts to hunt a creature, the iron angel magically sees the 1-month old traces of the target’s aura, which makes it a perfect hunter.
