Combat
Corrupted solar angels are the ultimate in traitors: beings of pure good and righteousness turned vile, destructive fiends held in check only by their new god Erythnul.
Even more fearsome than their +5 vicious glaives are their +2 composite longbows that create any sort of slaying arrow when drawn.
A corrupt solar’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Regeneration (Ex): A corrupt solar takes normal damage from epic good-aligned weapons, and from spells or effects with the good descriptor.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—fear, animate objects, commune, continual flame, dimensional anchor, greater dispel magic, unholy blight (DC 21), imprisonment (DC 26), invisibility (self only), lesser restoration (DC 19), polymorph (self only) power word stun, bestow curse (DC 20), contagion (DC 20), cause fear (DC 18), resist energy, summon monster VII, speak with dead (DC 20), waves of fatigue; 3/day—blade barrier (DC 23), earthquake (DC 25), harm (DC 23), mass hold monster (DC 25), permanency, destruction, waves of exhaustion; 1/day—greater restoration (DC 24), power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, prismatic spray (DC 24), soul bind. Caster level 20th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
The following abilities are always active on a solar’s person, as the spells (caster level 20th): detect good, detect snares and pits, discern lies (DC 21), see invisibility, true seeing. They can be dispelled, but the solar can reactivate them as a free action.
Spells: Corrupt solars can cast divine spells as 20th-level clerics. A corrupt solar has access to two of the following domains: Air, Destruction, Evil, Law, or War (plus any others from its deity). The save DCs are Wisdom-based.
Typical Cleric Spells Prepared (6/8/8/8/7/7/6/6/5/5; save DC 17 + spell level): 0—create water, detect magic, guidance (2), resistance (2); 1st—bane (2), cause fear, divine favor (2), entropic shield, obscuring mist*, shield of faith; 2nd—align weapon, bear’s endurance (2), bull’s strength (2), desecrate, eagle’s splendor, spiritual weapon*; 3rd—daylight, invisibility purge, magic circle against good, magic vestment*, Contagion (2), protection from energy, wind wall; 4th—death ward (2), dismissal (2), divine power*, poison (2); 5th—break enchantment, control winds*, dispel good, plane shift, slay living (2), symbol of pain; 6th—banishment, chain lightning*, heroes’ feast, mass cure moderate wounds, undeath to death, word of recall; 7th—control weather*, destruction, dictum, ethereal jaunt, holy word, regenerate; 8th—fire storm, holy aura, mass cure critical wounds (2), whirlwind*; 9th— etherealness, elemental swarm (air)*, mass heal, miracle, storm of vengeance.
*Domain spell. Domains: Air and War.

Smite Good (Su): Once per day corrupt solar angels can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe.

The abilty names below could use some bolding or italicizing or something, and line-breakes between each ability. I see nothing wrong with this... Demons are ALL fallen Angels in Christianity, so it seems like it is worth a shot...

Have you heard of the Nine Hells? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmodeus_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)) :smallamused:

:smalltongue: Oh, yeah... I forgot about that...

Oh, and I totally have an argument :smallamused:

When an angel falls, it turns into a fiend. This particular variety, however, does not. It remains an angel, though it has become evil. Thus, ultimately, evil angel really is far-fetched as most of those became fiends.

Hah :smalltongue:

It hasn't had time to become a fiend yet, these things take time.

Okay, it seems fine enough but it just isn't that interesting in all honesty. It's an evil angel. That in itself is kind of cool, but without any unique abilities or fluff describing the angel's fall from grace...well, there isn't much left but a fairly generic monster.

My suggestion would be to either add in something new to make the monster more colorful.

Mechanics wise: does it warp the flesh of good? Perhaps it's a spreader of Taint? Perhaps it's able to twist the easily tempted minds of man?

From a fluff perspective: What motivates the Corrupted Angel? How did it fall in the first place? What does it do now that it is evil?

I'm just throwing out ideas, but the point is that it needs a little extra Oomph to make it really take off.

Of course its a fiend. Angels are Good aligned extraplanal outsiders. Fiends are Evilly aligned extraplanal outsiders. If an angel turns Evil it becomes a fiend, regardless of its looks. The reverse is also true. Of course this is just how I would handle things.
