Homebrew Angel Species Details
Angels appear from the heavens in the shape of humans to watch over all life. Some are here to protect, some are here to destroy, and some to guide. They vary from innocent and peaceful to unyielding and wrathful in nature. Angels as guardian beings created from the divinity of good-aligned gods are loyal to their home and while their power in the material plane is limited to some extent even the weakest of their kin are strong enough to overpower most mortals. While the Assamir are rare creatures, angels, even minor ones, are practically unheard of walking among mortals. However, sometimes gods create and send young and minor angels to the material plane with some sort of divine purpose.

Angelic Resistance
As a divine being, you have resistance against radiant and necrotic damage.
Celestial
Your creature type is celestial for the purpose of spell and effects. In addition, when you are killed or when you take actions against or that are counter to your deity, you can be immediately returned to them. When this happens, your deity may do anything from wiping you from existence, putting you on trial, or resurrecting you at their nearest temple.
Celestial Wings
You have a pair of white feathered wings that grant you a flying speed of 30 feet. These wings are extensions of your celestial soul and as such can be made incorporeal, and as such can be made invisible to most senses at will. While your wings are a sight to behold they are not as magnificent or as grand as other more established celestials. If you are wearing armor you are not proficient in or any medium or heavy armor, you may not fly.
Communion
Angels don't need to sleep. Instead, they enter a state of prayer, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Darkvision
While you may not be strong enough to have truesight your divine senses grant you, superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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 grey.
Languages
You can speak, read and write Common and Celestial.
