Ishtar never appears to her worshipers in any form other than that of a beautiful woman.
She has the strength of a titan, the ability to shape change at will, and she uses her voice as a constant suggestion spell.

She is able to cast 2 spells per melee round, and when facing beings that are not affected by magic,

she strikes with a blue crystal rod that is able to transform any spell level into direct energy times ten,
    e.g. she is able to strike for 90 points of damage when expending a ninth level spell through the rod and 10 points when using a first level spell through the rod.

She is limited to the number and level of spells she can cast as a 15th level cleric/25th level MU.

The Headdress of Love and War: She wears the Headdress of Love and War.
When she is interested in a male, the headdress forces him to become passionately in love with the wearer (no save applicable),
but she must really be interested in that male.
When fighting, this headdress gives the wearer the same powers her enemy(s) has.
 

Chariot of Ishtar: Ishtar drives a flying chariot, pulled by 7 enchanted lions.
The lions have 50 hit points each, an armor class of 2, 11 hit dice each, attack for 1-8/1-8,
    and cannot be controlled by any being (using magic or otherwise) except for the goddess herself.
The chariot travels at a speed of 21", and when in the chariot, no metal can touch the goddess.
