| Fantasy Angel by Bea Serendipity |
Angels are spiritual beings created by a lawful good deity to act as servants, messengers and warriors.
Angels are benevolent and dreadful, but not infallible; for they strive with each other, and their deity has to make peace between them. Most of them serve either as intermediaries between the outer plane and the material realm, or as guardian spirits. Some are here to protect, some are here to destroy life to open way for new life. Innocence is their nature to a certain degree. It is rare that they bring themselves to tell a falsehood, as dishonor such an alien concept to them.
Angels are referred to in connection with their spiritual missions; as for instance, the "angel which has redeemed", "an interpreter", "the angel that destroyed", "the messenger of the covenant", "angel of his presence", and "a band of angels of evil".
- Exquisite Form
Angels have the shape of humanoids of extraordinary beauty, halos, and light. They stand taller than the average human. Some have fair hair ranging from white to light brown, whilst others are bald. They have blue and gold eyes of many shades from light to dark. They are slim and muscular. Angels have large feathery wings that span equal to their height and can be white, brown, silver or black, the average angel has one pair of wings but rare angels can even sometimes have two or three.
Some ranks of angels take the form of immaculate male or female humans or other humanoid race. Other angels have androgynous bodies of transcendental beauty.
- Adventuring Angels
Angels do not interact with mortals unless instructed to do so by their deity, as they are such fragile and innocent souls, but few in the past have chosen to wander the material realm learning how the beings live. However, there are times when the world below requires the presence of an angel to deal with a problem. An adventuring angel is weighed down by the material realm, unable to maintain their full divine power. Over time, they can learn to tap into their true form.

Innate Spellcasting[edit]
As an Angel, you can cast spells innately. When you cast spells innately you only need to use its verbal components. The Angel Paragon table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Angel Paragon spells. To cast one of your Angel Paragon spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of Angel Paragon spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Angel Paragon spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Angel Paragon spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Angel Paragon level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level Angel Paragon, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
Spellcasting Ability[edit]
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Angel Paragon spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an Angel Paragon spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
