Description
Celestials are a powerful and ancient group of lesser divine beings with otherworldly or extra-dimensional origins. They are tasked with maintaining balance and order between the mortal and celestial worlds.
If reduced to 0 Hit Points in the mortal world, a celestial is not destroyed but disappears in a blinding white light, banished back to its home dimension or plane. Once banished, it cannot return to the mortal world for an entire year. To truly destroy one it must be reduced to 0 Hit Points while in its home dimension.
The Wardens are the commanders of both the celestial solars and the celestial guardians. These very tall humanoid figures appear in unique and elaborate armor, complete with full helmets that conceal their features. They have large white swans wings that allow them to fly, and they can teleport at-will and without failure.
In battle, the wardens are formidable opponents. They wield massive enchanted two-handed weapons, with which their attacks deal an additional 3 points of damage. They have the ability to teleport and strike in the same round, and can also cast spells as a 16th-level Cleric, and can communicate telepathically within one mile with any being, even though they never vocalise. Wardens are immune to Sleep, hold, and charm spells as well as illusions. They are unaffected by magic missiles, acid, cold, electricity, poison, gas, and normal fire. They take half-damage from fire spells, and no damage from non-magical weapons.
