Astral devasare principally employed in the Astral Plane or on any of the
outer Lower Planes. Alone or in groups, they move about in service to
their sovereigns. They are very quick, whether afoot or using their
mighty pinions in flight. An astral deva normally carries a huge,
mace-like weapon which it can wield nimbly.This weapon is of +3 value when
employed by an astral deva. Any creature struck twice in the same
melee round and suffering damage in excess of 20 hit points must save
vs. spell or be knocked senseless for 14 rounds. The weapon also acts as
a mace of disruption (q.v.) with chances to hit as if wielded by a 9th-level
cleric.

An astral deva can use the spell-like powers given above, at will, 1 per
round, to the applicable maximums. Light shed by an astral deva can
have a 4-40 foot radius, as desired. The protection from evil is a sphere
with a 1 0-foot radius of normal (+2) power. An astral deva can also dispel
illusion, dispel invisibility of any sort, polymorph self, or remove curse,
all also 1 per round. Once per day an astral deva can create a blade
barrier which will last for up to 7 turns.

Astral devas can never be surprised. It requires a +1 or better magic
weapon to harm them. Total vacuum does no harm to astral devas. They
are immune to life level loss, whether from undead or magic. Their souls
cannot be trapped or imprisoned. They are immune to death spells. Their
charisma effect is 20.


 

Astral devas are tall, slender, and graceful. They have golden skin and
hair, amber eyes, and large white wings tinted with gold. They otherwise
resemble humans.
