How to make an angel

[Misfit KotLD]

Just let them be a godling with whichever OCC they wish and call the character an angel. Good improvisation.

[Incriptus]

You could use the spirits of light from the old conversion book . . . but the above suggestion is good, and has more variety

[runebeo]

Try using Guardians as angels or modify Spirits of Light to the way your group sees angels.

[Zer0 Kay]

Make them all Nightspawn.

[Zer0 Kay]

wow where was this ideda when i was with the other group

Which one? Mine? It is easy you got the wings, you got the looks and in some other descriptions of Angels you can even match their looks and you even have the MDC figured out since you just add the SDC/HP of the Morphous form.

Dang....and I didn't even get to post my [really, really bad] idea.

Shoot a bishop in the head. BOOM! Instant angel.

Note: I do not condone the murder of anyone, especially clergy. I just have a demented sense of humour.

[TechnoGothic]

Spirits of Light RCC
Goldlings RCC
Guardians RCC (Nightbane)
Nightbane RCC (Nightbane)
Athanosis RCC (Nightbane) (Actually based on Angels)

Shooting a christen only makes them into a martyr.
Angels are not dead people. Unlike the popular mythos the media presents.
Just like the myth that Saten is going to rule hell, it is a bunch of $^!†.
(Hell is going to be painful, like every part of the body is burning and the person feeling 100% of it 100% of the time. And Saten is going to be in the hottest part, so he will have even less capacity to even think then a human soul.
"disclaimer" No, I'm not advocating you go out and burn yourself or anyone else to feel what it will feel like.)

One is only a martyr if they die for not renouncing or giving up their religious beliefs.

There is also the Angel Immortal from Heroes Unlimited 2? or is it 3? I don't remember which right now.

[Lenwen]

well i figure that the closeest thig would be a godling witht a preist package minus preist skills
what do u think
the players all want to play 1 and i dont have al the books

Which books do you have ?

If I know what you have to work with I can give you a better more honest attempt then just saying something .. that you might not know what I am talking about .. because if you might not have the books.

[The Galactus Kid]

Use the spirits of light from the conversion book, or use the Athanatos in the out of print Nightbane book Shadows of Light.

Yes, in PU2 there is a "Angel" or "Ancient Spirit of Order/-Light/ -Good" immortal type. There are also Godling, DemiGod, and Avatar of a God type immortals also.
-------------------------------------

Maybe even Valkyries could be considered angels in a sense.

Valkyries are the "Choosers of the Dead", I would stack them in the Minions pile. There is also the V's are all females while Angels are all male. Game-wise *shrugs* they could substituted in for Angels.
--------------------------------------
Athanosis are [...... the closest thing is rifts is the spirit warrior in Rifts China] a mundane human infused with the elemental power of spirit of light (there is one dark based one, but that is the exception.)
Guardians-- are like sort of like Cosmo-Knights, where they get their power form an outside source, which changes them.
Nightbane(NightSpawn): are like the earth children from R England, their powers are inherent and have to change to use them. But most of the NS powers are PPE fueled.

Exactly ..

So if you kill them ..

Make sure its not about the faith ..

Then its just a homicide ..

[TechnoGothic]

Ohh also add :

COSMO-KNIGHT OCC/RCC to the List as Possible Angels

[Carindel]

Anything in Spirit West that might approach what we're looking for?

Not praticularly, unless you get drunk squint pretty hard before looking.

[The Beast]

I'd offer my method of making angels, but they always come out as stone statues covering their faces for some reason...

You forgot about the weeping

level 5 edit

[Lenwen]

Or you could just use the spirits of light from the Dragons an Gods book.

There are angels for various aspects ..

And they can be modified to suit your whim ..

[Crucible]

HU2 Mega Hero with Mega Wings and a few other goodies that may fit. Good luck. Played absolutely correctly you will have one powerful character running loose.

Didn't know about it.

I would certainly go with the spirits of light from PFRPG or the conversion book and hope that some cool bloke writes a rifts dimension book about them and their realm.

Spirits of Light - Angels of the Palladium World
Among the supernatural denizens of the Palladium World are beings known as Spirits of Light, but most ordinary people call them "angels."

A little while back I had a similar question about a book for angels and spirits of light. Kinda like what they did for the demons and such... It was mentioned at that time that there was a freelance book in the works... Anyone know if it is still being considered?

I would not know, but i sure hope so. Afterall we have so many books about Demons, devils, monsters, selfish/evil mercs, vampires released by PB in thelast 10 or so years. We need more books which focus on Good guys types. Good guys not looking to make a profit, good guys fighting the good fight because they need to to, want to, or have to, whatever. A book about Hope and the fight to drive back the evil scum of the megaverse.

i have finally did it. as my player wanted...... golding package with a occ of the preist. i know that seems a little over board but for what the pc wanted and the ablities he want plus a new twist for me ina agame. we came to an agreement and so far i have a few other involed in this one. besides it is a very high powerd game and veery intense the crew loves it and all the other new books that have came out since my last post i do want to thank every1. i would post it but i am afaird just to look at it would be to much to bear. just remeber that the godling and preist combined is awsome and has a awsome flare. and believe it or not easy to control

I would be interested to hear how this group is doing after a couple months. At first guess, I would say most players couldn't handle that kind of power, but it seems like your group is doing well with it. Would be interested to know what you are doing to keep them interested and excited and challenged. It is inspiring me to try something similar, but I am afraid it will attract a munchkin swarm instead of players that would be fun to have in the game. Keep us informed of how your game goes, I for one am very interested.
