Heaven's Guard
Heaven's Guard
Simple Monster, XP 4400
Level 22 (+8)
"Stand before me and be judged, mortal, or do not. Judgement comes for all at the hands of the Heaven’s Guard, regardless of their wishes."
——Cendariel, High Proselytizer of the Heaven’s Guard
Appearing as a red skinned angel with burning hot, featureless yellow eyes, the Heaven’s Guard is possessed of an arsenal of holy powers that radiate from its muscular body. They create protective shields that ward against the elements, heal allies, and channel incredible holy power into their attacks and voices to destroy or banish evil creatures. The Heaven's Guard serve as the enforcers to the higher planes, and theologists have drawn parallels between both the angel’s demeanor and powers to that of the Paladins of the material plane.

Faithful Shield
Immediate Action
When activated the Angel chooses to invoke a Cold shield or a Holy shield, which deals damage to attacks and protects against opposing damage types. While the shield is active, whenever a creature makes a Melee attack on the Angel, it suffers 1d6+8 damage. Additionally, the shield grants Damage Resistance to one energy type based on the type of shield chosen (see below). This shield remains active for up to 1 phase, or until this ability is used again to change shield types.
Great Intercession
Interruptive Action
When a creature within 30ft is targeted with a Weapon Attack, the Angel may immediately fly to a location adjacent to the creature and become the target of the attack instead. If the attack hits, the Angel reduces the damage by half. (Legendary)
