"He's the angel with the scabbed wings. Hard-drug face,
want to powder his nose. He will deflower the freshest crop. Dry up all the
wombs with his rock and roll sores."
Marilyn Manson - Angel with the Scabbed Wings
Sometimes the divine servants of law get a taste of
mortal pleasure. Most that do, repent of their
worldly indiscretions and return to the Heavens. However, a few
forsake their holy nature and choose to remain on the material plane. These
angels, sacrifice their divinity and quickly find that their wings rot off,
leaving perpetually painful wounds. The angels, now known as scabbed-winged
angels, medicate this pain with excess, whether it be sex, drugs, food,
alcohol, or some other vice entirely.
Each scabbed-wing angel is different, consider this a base
template to work from.

1 - Blood Seeks Blood: A tendril of blood
shoots forth from the angel's wound towards the nearest enemy. They must
make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 1d4 damage and an addition 1d2 every round
afterwards as their blood seeks to leave the body and join the angel. A
creature can take a round to bandage the wound to prevent any additional bleed
damage. Receiving magical healing will also end this effect.

the angel) within 30' feet must make a DC 14 Fortitude save or be dazed
for 1d4 rounds.

hour, the angel deals an extra 1d8 on all melee attacks the first time it hits
a creature.

if a creature strikes the angel with a melee attack they must make a DC 14
Reflex save or take 1d6 Acid damage.

gains an additional 1d4 bonus to its AC.

paradigm and are always considered un-holy for the purpose of clerical turning.
a lot of MM lyrics could be potential adventure fuel
ReplyDeleteThat just gave me several ideas, including one using "Long Hard Road Out of Hell."
DeleteReally cool concept here.
ReplyDeleteI always have song lyrics stuck in my head, so I figured I'd do something constructive with them.
