Making an Angel
« on: March 03, 2013, 03:16:22 AM »
well, not actually an angel.. most likely lesser aasimar, with a level of the half-celestial transition class like described here...

so thats only 1 LA, which can be bought off?? right??

anyways, the build: i was thinking a standard cleric 9 /crusader 1 /rkv 10 ... would be plenty powerful and versatile.   

i also like the celestial bloodline/outsider wings feats (races of faerun) so that we can get some nice pearly feathered wings. 

however those things, along with everything else that comes in between and after is very up in the air. if anyone has better suggestions im open to all of them.

also, i am looking for some way to get some sort of halo on his head, maybe even with a cool effect (light? scorching ray..etc?) if that exists.

basically i want a solar, but with character levels.   how about ancestral relic for the weapon maybe?

EDIT: all 3.5, most 3.0 is ok! dragon is ok!, no homebrew plz. thanks.

If homebrew is allowed, this is precisely what you are looking for.

that is indeed pretty cool.  i really like the feats too...  id prefer not to use any homebrew though. 

hmm.. what about favored soul? i just looked at it again, its extremely bland.  any idead on how to spice that up maybe?

and i am really interested in feats that have an angel/outsider feel to them.



*edited first post to say that homebrew is not really usable, but dragon & all 3.5 is. *

Have you tried the Solar Channeler of Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde?

nice find. i have never looked inside that book, so this is the first time im reading that prc. its pretty cool but it loses too many cl's and i wanted to have the angel-ness on at all times. 

i really like the serene guardian prc for another build though.. fun stuff!

Persisting draconic polymorph to become and angel is a good strategy.

Feel free to reflavor spells too. My aasimar swiftblade turned wings of the dragon into wings of an angel, but getting it with a feat does seem better.

i couldve sworn there was a feat somewhere that allowed you to reflavor (a certain amount of?) spells.   i didnt know that thing was considered "free" 

im still looking for a halo! a feat, ability, something?

Spell Thematics, which also has mechanical gains from the reflavoring.

Pathfinder Aasimars have the option of trading Darkvision for a halo that can be used as at-will Light. You might be able to convince your GM do let you do some similar trade, even if you're not actually using PF.
