Angels are a very rare race, and are included in this collection only as information for those who encounter them, not as an available race. Yet.
Angels are not Biblical on origin, but do indeed come from a Heaven-like floating realm. Any attempts by non-angel magic or tech to reach this 'Heaven' is doomed to fail, often because of some obscure or bizarre coincidence. They have an incredible talent for Magic, and many natural specials. They are almost always kind and good. Most angels are the agents of a specific God.
Bonus:
Light's Blessing
People, barring the darkest of Souls, have a subconscious desire to believe in and obey Angels. While not overpowering, they seem to be more familiar and trustworthy than others.
Shining Justice
Angels are a little more specialized than Demons. Demons just run around blasting everyone with Hell-fire, while an Angel's power only works on those of Evil alignment. Their Shining Justice ability is used twice per battle to damage an evil target as if a medium-level spell. Against a Neutral target it does nothing, and against a Good target it heals.
Penalty:
Heaven-Born
As Demons are harmed more by Angels, so Angels are harmed more by attacks of Demonic nature.
Nature's Balance
When not acting in the name of their God, most Angels are not allowed to help either good or evil unless there is a serious danger or imbalance. They must follow a strict code, similar to a Paladin, but more so.
* An Angel must be of Lawful Good alignment.
* An Angel may never willfully commit an Evil act.
* An Angel cannot associate with any character that persistently commits acts which would cause the Paladin him/herself to Fall- notably Evil creatures.
* An Angel must remain truthful and forthright at all times.
* An Angel must give fair warning and due quarter to their enemies.
* An Angel holds stealth, subterfuge, attack from the rear, missile weapons and especially poison as weapons of last resort.
