This beautiful humanoid appears to be a simple human, but from it's shoulders spread two beautiful, white-feathered wings. It's almost gold-colored sword ignites with holy fire and it smiles with triumphant warrior's zeal.

The shayal are the foot-soldiers of the upper planes. They are most often employed into vast scale conflicts with against evil creatures and even sometimes employed by righteous kings against opposing armies of evil. These warriors can be found anywhere in the upper planes(when not fighting in the lower planes) as anything from upstanding knights of Celestia to freedom fighters of Arborea.

Shayal speak Celestial and Common, but can speak with any creature with a language due to it's tongues ability.

COMBAT
Shayal live for combat, not because they love bloodshed, but they revel in their duty to extinguish evil in the multiverse in all it's forms and think it's best done with a strong swing of a sword. A shayal will rarely flee from a battle it deems worthy to fight, but will refuse to fight good-aligned opponents or neutral opponents who have done no harm unless provoked by either. Unless fighting beings of true evil such as demons or devils, it will not fight to the death, preferring to leave mortals of smaller power alive to regret their actions.

A shayal's natural and wielded weapons are treated as good-aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Heavenly Burn (Su): Shayal are warriors against the forces of evil, and their flaming swords will not be ignored even by fiends. The fire damage dealt by their flaming sword ignores the fire resistance of creatures with the evil subtype, and still deals half damage to said creatures with fire immunity. This ability is not granted to any non-angel wielding a shayal's flaming sword.

Maneuvers: A Shayal has knowledge of several martial maneuvers from the Devoted Spirit and Golden Saint (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76150) disciplines. It knows three maneuvers, all of which it may have readied at one time. It has an initiator level of 3rd. As a swift action, it may regain all of its expended maneuvers, although it cannot initiate any in the same round. It may change its readied maneuvers by meditating for five minutes.

Typical Manuevers Readied
Strikes: Paladin’s Charge, Crusader’s Strike, Templar’s Strike

Stances: A Shayal has knowledge of one martial stance from the Devoted Spirit and Golden Saint (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76150) disciplines.

Typical Stances Known
Martial Spirit

Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the shayal. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level 5th). This aura can be dispelled, but the shayal can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an shayal's statistics block.)

Spell-like Abilities: At will - cure minor wounds, detect evil, shield of faith; 3/day - cure light wounds, prayer; 1/day - plane shift. CL 5th, all saves are Cha-based.

Tongues (Su): Shayal can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (CL 5th). This ability is always active.

Standing before you like a tower of blackness is something you can only comprehend as a very tall humanoid in a black robe, carrying a long scythe and with black feathery wings sprouting from it's back. It's face is completely concealed by darkness under the hood of it's flowing robe. The hand clutching the scythe is thin and pale, but you cannot tell at all if it is simply frail or actually bone. The air about it feels almost fundamentally disturbing, but somehow natural.

The malak are the embodiment of death, and guides of souls to their final destination in the outer planes. Often, the malak will be forced to take a soul by force before it's death, because more powerful creatures might be able to deny fate and remain alive. The malak are not inherently malign or even benevolent despite their angelic status, and see themselves merely as creatures of balance and a sense of natural duty, as death is the most natural part of life.
Malak are widely diverse in appearance, often taking the form as the creature witnessing them perceives death, with no absolute form, though their form is rarely entirely under their control.

Malak speak Celestial and Infernal, but can speak to any creature with a language, due to it's tongues ability.

COMBAT
Malaks rarely begin combat in melee range, relying on spells to weaken enemies, when dead they can harvest the soul and bring it to it's afterlife. For more powerful foes, they may attempt to reap the creature as quickly as possible to minimize damage to itself, possibly attempting to lower the saves to make their foe more vulnerable to their death touch. Often times, however, with the mentally weak, the malak will even attempt to convince the soul with mere words to follow it into death.

Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the malak. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level 16th). This aura can be dispelled, but the malak can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an malak's statistics block.)

Spell-like Abilities: At will - death knell, dimension door, greater invisibility, greater plane shift(self plus 50 pounds of equipment only), greater teleport(self plus 50 pounds of equipment only), telekinesis; 3/day - feeblemind, magic jar(treat scythe as jar), mass suggestion, quickened greater plane shift, quickened greater teleport; 1/day - contact other plane, soul bind. All saves are Cha-based, CL 16th.

Spells: A malak casts spells as a 15th level cleric with access to the Death and Balance (http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/domain.pl?Balance) domains. The save DC's are Wisdom-based. The malak cannot channel positive or negative energy to spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells.

Typical Cleric spells prepared (6/7+1/7+1/7+1/6+1/5+1/4+1/3+1/2+1), base save DC 18 + spell level):
0 - detect magic(3), guidance, light, mending
1st - cause fearD(2), cure light wounds(2), entropic shield, remove fear, sanctuary, shield of faith
2nd - calm emotions, cure moderate wounds(2), death knellD, eagle's splendor, hold person, owl's wisdom, spiritual weapon
3rd - bestow curse(2), clarity of mindD, cure serious wounds, deeper darkness, inflict serious wounds, speak with dead, stone shape
4th - death wardD, dimensional anchor, dismissal, divination, freedom of movement, restoration, spell immunity
5th - break enchantment, mass cure light wounds, righteous might, scrying, slay livingD(2)
6th - antilife shell, banishmentD, harm, heal, symbol of persuasion
7th - greater scrying, regenerate, symbol of weakness, word of balanceD
8th - dimensional lock, protection from spellsD, symbol of death

Tongues (Su): Malak can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 16th). This ability is always active.

Touch of Death (Su): The malak uses a supernatural touch that drags the soul from the body of a victim, attaches it to the malak itself, and allows the angel of death to bring the soul to it's final destination. If the malak makes a melee touch attack, or an attack with it's scythe, it forces those touched or attacked to make a Will save (DC 31). Anyone who fails their save has their soul ripped from their body, which dies instantly. The malak taking the soul then claims it as their own(until it frees the soul in it's final resting plane), freeing the soul from most contracts that might tie it to a malign force such as a demon price or archdevil lord. This attack can be made only once per round. This ability is Cha based and includes a +2 bonus from the ability focus feat, and is a necromantic death effect.

True Seeing (Su): Malak have a continuous true seeing ability, as the spell (CL 16th). This also allows the malak to see the souls of the departed, just as the Spirit Sense (http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/feats.pl?Spirit_Sense,HH) feat, but with an indefinite duration.

Standing here is a beautiful woman draped in white robes of silk, bathed in light and bearing two graceful, white wings that seem to shine like starlight. She carries a silvery rod topped with a small silver sculpture of a perched eagle, but she does not seem willing to use it. Her eyes are warm, and feel as though they sooth the soul.

The tuhim are a choir of angels that disdain warfare, but are frequently found in angelic wars as healers and protectors. More often than not, they appear as beautiful humanoid women with white wings and silken robes, unstained by most everything. Many will carry light weapons, but disdain their use unless entirely necessary. These angels will often be the agents of gods of good, such as Pelor and Aeomon.

Tuhim speak Celestial, Common and Infernal, but are capable of talking to most creatures due to their tongues ability.

COMBAT
One thing the tuhim are reknown for is their incredible pacifism. These angels will never willingly harm another, even the most evil of fiends, and will spend all their efforts healing and protecting their allies--usually angels. If forced into combat, they will attempt to subdue their foes with nonlethal damage, making full use of their merciful hand ability.

A tuhim's natural and wielded weapons are considered good-aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Change Shape (Su): A tuhim can assume the form of any Small or Medium humanoid.

Merciful Hand (Su): Tuhim are fundamentally creatures that do kill, at the very worst merely disabling. A tuhim's natural attacks and any attacks made by a weapon in the hands of a tuhim are considered to have the merciful weapon property.

Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the tuhim. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level 16th). This aura can be dispelled, but the tuhim can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an tuhim's statistics block.)

Sacred Healing (Su): The tuhim is naturally imbued with greater healing powers than any mortal creature and most other angels. Once per encounter, a tuhim may add it's Cha modifier as a bonus to the amount of healing it can provide with it's spell-like abilities that cure hit-point damage.

Spell-like Abilities: at will - cure critical wounds, lesser restoration, neutralize poison, remove blindness/deafness, remove curse, remove disease, sanctuary; 3/day - heal, lesser planar ally, plane shift, empowered cure critical wounds, maximized cure critical wounds, raise dead; 1/day - mass cure critical wounds, planar ally, restoration, resurrection. All saves are Cha-based, CL 12th.

Tongues (Su): Tuhim can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 12th). This ability is always active.

Regarding the middle one:
If it is neutral, are you sure you want the aura biased toward protecting from Evil creatures and effects?


Regarding the last one:
+9 to the effect of a Cure Critical Wounds, Mass(which is the most logical place to use the ability) once per day is flavorful... but not much more than that I don't THINK.

Also, doesn't Heal include everything Restoration does? If so it seems a little odd to make the former a 3/day and the later a 1/day.

It comes with the angel subtype. I could change it, but I didn't feel like it.


Regarding the last one:

It's 1/encounter.


Also, doesn't Heal include everything Restoration does? If so it seems a little odd to make the former a 3/day and the later a 1/day.

Hmm. Maybe I'll change that.

Also updated the Shayal, it now uses maneuvers.
