Objection! (immediate reaction when an enemy within 5 squares succeeds in hitting an ally with an attack; recharge 4,5,6)
The enemy who launched the attack begins to glow brightly and grants Combat Advantage until the Justice Archon uses this ability on a different target.

Verdict
The Justice Archon deals an additional 1d6 radiant damage against enemies who grant Combat Advantage. In addition, if the Archon strikes an enemy with its Greatsword who grants Combat Advantage, their speed is permanently reduced by 1 until the end of the encounter. This cannot lower their speed below half (round down) normal.

Vengeance (immediate reacion; encounter)
When an enemy within 10 squares uses an Encounter Power, the Justice Archon may “copy” that Power if it is 7th level or lower. Once during the current encounter, the Justice Archon may use that Power exactly as if the enemy has done so (using the enemy’s modifiers and so on).

Time Shift (minor, recharge 6)
Erathaol pulls himself through time from 1 round in the future. The second Erathaol has all of his actions available, though any powers used by one expend it for both, and any damage done to one applies to both. At the beginning of his next turn, the first Erathaol is then pulled back in time, leaving the second one as his “real” self.

Aptitude Focus
At the beginning of Erathaol’s turn, he can grant himself a +4 bonus to one ability score until the beginning of his next turn. This effects his Fort, Ref, Will, attack and damage rolls. His Quarterstaff is Strength-based.

Quick Study
Erathaol can use any At-Will power used by any of his enemies in the current encounter that he witnesses. He uses his own ability scores for them. Bonuses from Aptitude Focus apply. Erathaol is treated as wielding all weapon types, carrying a shield, having all Eldritch Pacts, and employing all other Build Options (such as Brutal Scoundrel) for the purposes of these powers. He cannot use powers with the Healing keyword.

Improved Quick Study (recharge 5,6)
Erathaol uses an Encounter Power that one of his enemies has used in the current encounter that he has witnessed. Otherwise, this functions as Quick Study.

Greater Quick Study (encounter)
Erathaol uses a Daily Power that one of his enemies has used in the current encounter that he has witnessed. This power recharges when Erathaol becomes bloodied. Otherwise, this functions as Quick Study.

Ranged 10; +35 vs. Will; The target is slowed (save ends) and gains the “Pacifism” condition. This condition incurs a -5 penalty on the attack rolls of Opportunity Attacks and remains until either the encounter ends, or the inflicted target is lowered to 0 hit points or less.

Rituals


Channel Least Archon
By going deep into meditation, your mind may briefly pass through planar boundaries and enter the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia. While you drift along, a call goes out, and an appropriately important Archon replies. In this case, only the lowliest of them can spare the time to meet your request.
Level: 4
Category: Binding
Time: 30 minutes
Duration: 24 hours
Component Cost: 100gp
Market Price: 250gp
Key Skill: Religion (no check)

You link minds with a Lantern Archon currently residing in Celestia. Using the power of the ritual, if it is willing, the Archon may enter into your mortal flesh, granting you some of its power in exchange for you furthering the cause of Good.

If the caster is Lawful Good, the Archon agrees to be channeled without question. If the caster is Good, then the Archon will only agree if the caster's cause is immediately relevant to the greater Good. If the caster is Unaligned, Evil, or Chaotic Evil, then the Archon refuses but no components are spent.

An Archon can leave the caster's body at any time as a free action. It will not normally do so, but if the caster commits an evil act, it most likely will.

While channeled, the Lantern Archon grants the caster a +2 bonus to their Speed and causes them to shed light from their body as a Torch (the light can be switched on or off as a minor action). In addition, they gain the following two powers:

{table=head]Light Pulse
You extend your hand and a searing blast of light emanates from it.
At-Will * Radiant
Standard Action * Melee
Target: One adjacent enemy
Attack: Str, Wis, or Cha vs Reflex
Hit: 1d6 + Str, Wis, or Cha modifier radiant damage[/table]

{table=head]Surge of Light
After striking an enemy, a second entity residing inside you releases a brilliant burst of holy energy, smiting your foe.
Encounter * Radiant
Free Action
Trigger: You hit with an attack
Effect: You deal an additional 2d4 radiant damage[/table]



Channel Lesser Archon
By going deep into meditation, your mind may briefly pass through planar boundaries and enter the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia. While you drift along, a call goes out, and an appropriately important Archon replies. In this case, only a low-ranking warrior can spare the time to meet your request.
Level: 6
Category: Binding
Time: 30 minutes
Duration: 24 hours
Component Cost: 200gp
Market Price: 350gp
Key Skill: Religion (no check)

You link minds with a Hound Archon currently residing in Celestia. Using the power of the ritual, if it is willing, the Archon may enter into your mortal flesh, granting you some of its power in exchange for you furthering the cause of Good.

If the caster is Lawful Good, the Archon agrees to be channeled without question. If the caster is Good, then the Archon will only agree if the caster's cause is immediately relevant to the greater Good. If the caster is Unaligned, Evil, or Chaotic Evil, then the Archon refuses but no components are spent.

An Archon can leave the caster's body at any time as a free action. It will not normally do so, but if the caster commits an evil act, it most likely will.

While channeled, the Hound Archon grants a +2 bonus to the caster's speed, low-light vision, and a pair of claws (see below). While the caster is bloodied, the Archon grants a +2 bonus on melee attack and damage rolls, and immunity to fear effects.

{table=head]Claws
Though the two sharp appendages that have replaced your hands are completely alien to you, you are surprisingly proficient with them in combat.
At-Will * Unarmed
Standard Action * Melee
Target: One adjacent enemy
Attack: Str or Dex vs AC
Damage: 2d6 + Str or Dex modifier damage[/table]

very cool, though i don't know much about 4ed. where are the rituals from? did you just make them up? pretty cool stuff. if they are not found in 3.5 already (the rituals), then i am going to have to down-convert them.

aaron out.

There are a few rules in the Book of Exalted Deeds for channeling celestials, though usually it's something bland like a bonus to an ability score or something.

The actually cool version is an Epic Spell that lets a group of epic (or close to) characters channel a single Celestial Paragon, which gives them a bonus to pretty much everything and a spell-like ability depending upon the Paragon.

While these Rituals are based on those, they obviously work differently.

[Stycotl]

well, whatever they are, i like them.

[Xefas]

The first of the Celestial Hebdomad is up: Barachiel the Messenger, Ruler of Lunia, the First Heaven, and Patron of the Trumpet Archons.

He doesn't look very powerful at first, but then you reread his aura ability and it just all comes together...

[aaron_the_cow]

Your forgeting Roy's Archon :smallwink:

[Inyssius Tor]

Holy crap! Truly, you are a master of your art. I don't know if it's balanced, because the books aren't out yet, but every single one of Barachiel's abilities looks both awesome and fun to describe and use. They also look ridiculously powerful, but not having the books I can't say if they're too much so. All of this applies equally to the lesser archons, by the way.

(Man, now I have to add "high-level evil campaign" to my list of Campaigns to Run.)

(Also, man it's hard to come up with an elegant organizational system for my embryonic 4E Compendium. Bleargh. I think I'll just wait for someone else to do it.)

Well, its been four months, but I added content, so this doesn't count as thread necromancy, right? More like some kind of...resurrecting-bump.

I added Domiel the Mercy-Bringer and Erathaol the Seer to the Celestial Hebdomad.

I'm hoping to get some playtesting in with the Hebdomad, but with the whole D&D group in college, and already participating in a campaign, its hard to set up an additional session of "lets grab random epic level characters you don't care about and beat up the holiest people in existence that won't go anywhere story-wise".

I can only theorize so much without any sort of practical evidence to go on.

Doesn't really matter on these boards. Especially when you have work this excellent. If needs to be showcased for future generations!

I appreciate the support :smallsmile:

And because the only way for me to bump without guilt is to add content, I've added Pistis Sophia the Ascetic.

I'm venturing into uncharted territory in terms of power. When Orcus is the only measuring stick, it makes things hard. The "How to make a monster" rules in the DMG don't even list damage tables past level 30.

I have no idea what to do after this. There are already devils in the Monster Manual, and once I finish Zaphkiel, that'll be all the Archons. What then? What's more interesting than Archons and Devils?

Ummm, archons are Primordials, not immortals, and they don't have (archon) subtype. Other than that, looks good.

I'm assuming by "Primordial" you mean "Elemental", as that's the Origin listing of Archons in the Monster Manual. (Primordial is the language that Elementals like the Archons speak)

And, sure, Archons are Elemental if you're using the 4e cosmology. But, they're also Chaotic Evil if you're using the 4e cosmology.

I still use the Great Wheel in my 4e games, which is why I made these Archons in the first place. My games usually involve the Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia, the Nine Hells of Perdition, and the Infinite Layers of the Abyss. We have Demons and Devils, but no viable stand-ins for the Heavenly Host. Thus, here they are.

Of course, you're welcome to stick them into the 4e cosmology, but even if you did, they should probably be separate from the Chaotic Evil Elemental Demon-Thralls that the new Archons are.

Bump for Great Radiance.

Also, Raziel the Crusader is up. I'm a little iffy on him, since he's suppose to be more powerful than Orcus, and yet I didn't want to give him an instant knock-out attack like the big demon prince. So, instead I made him deal lots of damage. The problem is that I don't know if he does *enough* damage.

Once he ramps up to full power, he should be doing something like:
13d12+18d6+11 damage a round. But that's assuming everything hits. It seems like a lot, but so does a single attack bringing your fighter from 200+ HP to 0.

It's 158 average damage if everything hits and he doesn't have any fire resistance to burn through on the target AND he's had several turns of being weaker so he can bring his deadliness into full swing.

S'why I need to playtest...
