The Return of the Angels

　If you want to include angels in your apocalyptic story you can use the basic powers and abilities presented for the fallen, with the following changes.

　● Angels don't have physical bodies per se. They appear in one of the apocalyptic forms of their houses (see below ), but these bodies are constructs of pure faith. There is no Faith Cost to create a form. As long as an angel has one point of available Faith it can maintain its appearance. Evocations such as Lore of the Flesh that affect a physical body have no effect on angels.

　● Angels have no Torment rating.

　● All angels have 10 Willpower. They can spend Willpower points for automatic successes just as the fallen can, and regain Willpower in the same fashion that fallen characters do.

　● Low-ranking angels have a Faith rating of 25. Mid-ranking angels have a Faith rating of 35 to 45. High-ranking angels have a Faith rating of 50 to 65. Angels regain all Faith at the beginning of each day. Additionally, they can reap Faith from mortals in a manner similar to the fallen. If an angel is reduced to zero Faith he discorporates instantly and returns to Heaven until dawn of the following day.

　● Angels cannot create thralls.

　● All angels have five dots in each of their Attributes. They do not have: Talents, Skills or Knowledges. They can attempt any action they wish, rolling a dice pool equal to Attribute + a number of bonus dice generated by spending Faith points. There is no limit to the number of bonus dice that can be applied to a roll beyond the number of Faith points an angel has available to spend.

　● Angels have all the same innate powers as the fallen, although they are immune to most damage (see below).

　● Angels have the same apocalyptic forms as the fallen, but they do not have high-Torment aspects. Angels are always considered to be in apocalyptic form, but can manifest only low-Torment aspects. If you have a copy of the Demon Players Guide and want to use the apocalyptic form guidelines presented in Chapter Five, you are welcome to do so. Angels can have only four form aspects, and no high-Torment aspects. Additionally, you may use only 10 form points instead of 16.

　● Angels are limited to the common lore paths and their house lore paths. This includes powers such as the Lore of Humanity and the Lore of the Realms, which were created by the fallen during the war but were eventually adopted by the Elohim as well. Low-ranking angels have 15 dots to allocate among available lore paths. Mid-ranking angels have 20 dots. High-ranking angels possess five dots in all of their available lore paths. Furthermore, Faith points may be spent to increase the range or area of effect of evocations. If range or area of effect is measured in yards, an angel can increase each at a rate of 10 yards per Faith point. If area of effect is measured in miles, an angel can increase it by 10 miles per Faith point. Faith points can also be spent to add dice to evocation rolls, as the fallen can do.

　● Angels are immune to bashing and lethal damage of all types. Additionally, they can heal aggravated damage at the cost of five Faith points per health level. Apply wound penalties for aggravated damage as normal. Low-ranking angels can sustain 10 levels of aggravated damage before they are destroyed. Mid-ranking angels can suffer 15 levels of aggravated damage before they are destroyed. High-ranking angels can suffer 25 levels of aggravated damage before they are destroyed. Angels do not heal naturally - Faith has to be spent to repair any damage. If an angel runs out of Faith and is forced to return to Heaven, she retains her injuries until she has enough Faith to heal herself.

　● Angels can be consumed in the same manner as the fallen. Their True Names can be learned through occult research or by studying the results of their evocations. They cannot be summoned or bound, however, by virtue of their connection to the Creator.
