It's been an idea that's been going around in my head for a while. Angels, in D&D, are supposed to be servants of the god. Including the solar, which Planescape basically calls the divine Nuclear Option.
And yet... they are good only. Leaving the evil gods without proper servants. So, what I want to do is take the various angels, the devas, planetars and solars, and make them alignment, neutral. The basic idea is this:
We create alignment-less base stats for angels. Probably five types. With very restricted lists of generic abilities, plus very small spell lists.
Then we create a list of abilities and spells for each divine domain. Angels arethen created by taking base angels and applying a domain to them. So you'd have angels of fire, angels of law, etc, and angels of good, which would be basically what we have now.
Anyone interested? I'd mainly need some help coming up with interesting ideas for every domain, as there's rather a lot of them. (I also think angels could stand to be a bit more interesting in general. Really, they mostly just have high stats and cleric spells, but not much that's unique.)
