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 enigmatic watchers are celestials tasked with observing the mortal realms to ensure that balance and harmony are maintained.
Watchers are mostly humanoid in appearance, thought their skin is golden, and their eyes shimmer like the night sky itself, deep and star-speckled, and great raven wings stretch from their backs.
Watchers see through all forms of illusion and deception, automaticallly. Additionally they have spellcasting abilities as if they were both a 12th-level cleric, and a 10th-level Magic-User.
In combat, Watchers are powerful foes, using their innate magical abilities to attack from range with spells, or up close with powerful slams from their wings. They are immune to Sleep, hold, and charm spells, as well as illusions.
