Homebrew Fallen Angel Species Details

“What we do does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling.”

—Lionel Bloch from Maid in Manhattan

Physical Description

 

Creatures of beauty in both mind and body, crafted to form the ideal form of beauty by their creator. They served their deity following their tenants. Usually of similar or standing taller than that of a human, despite their other shared features. Holding the grace of their deity, they had wings of a snow white image, now they are cut of and the scars to mark their betrayal. Other than the pair of scars on their backs and there white pupilis eye's, they are nearly identical to humans with a large variety of eye and skin colors.

History

Created to serve their lord, these divine beings were once creatures of purity & lawful goodness, until something brought them to clash with their god & they were struck down. Fallen from grace, they began to change from being in the mortal ream for too long. They often strive to return to their lord's graces, others seek retribution, and others strike out to become their own person, accepting that they may never be allowed back.

Society

Most do not wish to communicate with one another as many come from different gods, leading to most living in seclusion or mending into other society. They live their lives peacefully until they die or find retribution. If they do gather, it is to strike at a god and thus makes them more of an army than a real society.

Fallen Angel Traits

It’s hard to make generalizations about Fallen Angels, but your Fallen Angel character has these traits.

Darkvision

Your divine powers wane and you no longer have your divine senses, but you still have this one. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Ability Score Increase

Your Charisma increases by 2 and one other score of your choice increases by 1.

Age

Fallen Angels are created as fully mature humanoids and do not age but since you've fallen from grace, dependent upon how much of your divinity you've held on to, you can only live for a few more thousand years.

Alignment

Once lawful good creatures, but now they can now safely range anywhere on the spectrum of alignments.

Size

Fallen Angels are the same size as humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Angelic Resistance

As a divine being, you used to have numerous resistances, but now, you're left with one. You are resistant to radiant damage.

Celestial.

When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the cure wounds spell once and need to finish a long rest before you can cast it again. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the lesser restoration spell once and need to finish a long rest before you can cast it again. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
