Homebrew Exiled Celestial Species Details

Exiled Celestials are a type of Fallen Celestial, removed from their God's corner and forced to live upon what they view as lesser races. They are bound to earthly magic. It can range from wood, to fire, to blood. They take elements that naturally disperse energy and depend on it to live, disrupting and often taking the energy for their own life.

They usually appear disfigured, only hoping to copy a deceased or missing person's appearance to blend in.

Exiled Celestials will either house and overtake churches in hopes of gaining power through worship and offerings, or travel with parties who are unaware of their origins in hopes to gain power through them, even gaining worshippers as they venture. 

Many Exiled Celestials grow fond of their companions, but due to their origins, will only allow themselves to view "lesser beings" as pets to take care of, and gain admiration and worship from. They are very cunning, intelligent, and manipulative. Due to estrangement from a mortal life, they do not feel empathy and disregard feelings of lesser beings, only seeing them as a means to an end.

Some abilities are lost after exile, but fortunately most can be kept.

Various Damage

The types of magic an Exiled Celestial can depend on are various. Based on whatever magic your Exiled Celestial depends on, they can deal specific types of damage. For example, if your Exiled Celestial is dependent on water magic, they can deal bludgeoning due to the impact of a water based attack, or cold damage if in colder conditions.

Damage Reduction

Because of the range of different types of Exiled Celestials there are, there are instances where they cannot be harmed. Blessed items and holy weapons will always do damage. If attacked with a force that opposes the type of magic they rely on, they will take reduced damage.

Shapeshifting

Using their respective life force, they can change their appearance. Although it costs magic, it is mainly used to manipulate a situation in their favor.

Life Force Magic

Life force magic comes directly from the Exiled Celestial's life force. They can use abilities granted by their variants, but it costs life span and magic that they can only get back by taking more from a differing source. They can die due to external forces or the draining of their life force magic.

Worship Leveling

The magic from worship only increases their levels depending on how much population is worshipping them.

Darkvision

All celestials have darkvision.
