Description: Einheriar is properly the name of te glorious
dead of Asgard, but it is used as a general name for any humanoid
spirits that are employed in the outer planes as servants, warriors,
patrols, or guards. They are primarily used in planes that
are N to G in AL, and are much less common in
the lower planes. The #s that can be encountered vary
according to plane, with the 10d10 figure being a general patrol.

If the alignment of the plane precludes certain classes, then
another roll must be made.

These individuals are armed && armored as best for their class,
and in the style of the Deity that they owe their allegiance to. Einheriar
have a 5% chance per level of magical armor and weapons,
though these weapons and armor do not have any special functions.
In general, this translates into plate +1 or +2 and a weapon +1 for
fighters, perhaps bracers of defense (AC 4) and a wand for M-Us.
Einheriar cannot carry items with exceptional functions (such
as armor of etherealness or a flametongue sword).

Einheriar are generally immune to the effects of fear. If slain,
they return after a set time to take up their duties (usu. this time
is a standard day). They follow the directives of the Deities that
command them, or that Deities' lieutenants w/o question || hesitation.
