The Accursed (template)

[Westhart]

The Accursed
Accursed are angels that have left the upper planes. Most do this because they do not want to remind those they love of something evil that had happened. All accursed were subject to evil at some point, usually while fighting vile persons, or possibly fighting dark gods (Depending on setting).

Creating An Accursed
"Accursed" is an acquired template that can be added to any outsider with the good and angel subtypes.

Size and Type
The creature gains the Native subtype. Do not recalculate base attack bonus, saves, or skill points. Unlike other native outsiders an accursed still does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

Armor Class
The Accursed gain a sacred bonus to AC equal to their wisdom modifier.

Special Attacks
An Accursed retains all the special attacks of the base creature and gains those described below.

Summon Solar: In recognition of the event that led the Accursed to leave the upper lanes he may summon a solar once per day

Wings: The wings of an accursed turn to adamantine, reducing its flight maneuverability by one step but granting it the ability to attack with these razor sharp wings.

They also gain a special attack usable only on charge attacks, allowing them to spread their wings and make a single attack to everyone adjacent along the path of the charge, or he may make a special spinning attack, dealing this damage to everyone in the path of the charge. The Fallen may move up to the usual amount of death allowed by a charge.

Special Qualities
An accursed retains all the special qualities of the base creature and gains those described below.

Touch of the Dark: Accursed have been touched by beings of pure corruption. Even though they themselves were not corrupted they retain an essence of the dark. They do not suffer negative levels for wielding unholy weapons etc, although they still take additional damage, and they are immune to the effect of holy word.

Unholy Curse: Accursed may never venture to the upper planes.

Abilities
Change from the base creature as follows: +4 Strength, -6 Charisma, +2 Wisdom, +6 Constitution, -4 Dexterity
Physically toughened and imparted with some ancient wisdom, the same hardening of their bodies has decreased their mobility and they do not get along with most things because they are often mistaken for Fallen., creatures they hold in worst contempt then devils themselves.
