Hello everyone. :) saw that the half fiend template had different options to spice the template up, half goristro for example.
So my question is; is there different half celestial races aswell with different stats from the original vanilla flavored template?
Did not find any when searching.

If it does exist, I'm not aware of it. I'd chalk it up to fiends just being more interesting than celestials. Just look at all the love for the tiefling compared to the aasimar. There are so many different kinds of fiends, but celestials basically boils down to archons and angels, not much going on there.

Dont you mean archons, angels, guardinials and eladrin?

Not as far as I can tell, though there's no reason you can't use the same process (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060630a) on the half-celestial template. It won't be much harder than doing half-fiend for a different fiend.

Why yes, yes he does should!

Wait, do angels qualify as celestials? This might seem like a really stupid question, but angels are merely servants of good gods, while archons, guardinals and eladrin are exemplars of good. If angels are not exemplars, can they be considered celestials?

Aren't angels like the exemplars of good (lawful good, at any rate)?

Nope. Those would be the archons.

Well, in any case, they're still celestials. (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Angel)

Despite "celestial" being seemingly derived from "Celestia," celestial creatures, angels and half-celestials can all be any flavor of good.

Ah, that would do it. Not the favoritest wiki for Playgrounders, but the quote is solid. :smallsmile:

Oh, I know that. It's just that "celestials" seemed related more to "good exemplars" (specific) than to "good outsiders" (general).
