Anger of Angels
soul in this manner does not cause the angel to lose his protection from Hell’s natives. When the angel ends the punishment of the soul, he is immediately transported back to his previous location. Chain of Greater Fire (Su): At 5th level, the angel’s chain of fire gains power, acting like a +2 adamantine silver flaming light flail.
Angel of Fury The angels of fury are agents of Heaven’s wrath. When a mortal has committed a great injustice against her faith or against Heaven itself or a noteworthy angel falls from grace, the angels of fury are sent to punish the transgressor or bring her to a higher power for judgment. Angels of fury often double as angels of death, and vice versa, but their strange powers make them uniquely suited for their special duties. If anything, angels of fury are more dangerous and feared than other punitive angels because they take the transgressions of their targets personally. Martial angels, especially barbarians, are well suited for this class. Spellcaster angels rarely become angels of fury because the discipline necessary for most spellcasting runs contrary to the anger prevalent among the ranks of these angels. Ophanim are particularly suited for this prestige class, mainly because they automatically meet most of the requirements and enjoy fire and extensive travel. Angels of fury normally operate singly or in pairs. Because their services are needed so rarely, most deities have little use for more than a handful of them. Angels of fury of one deity don’t tend to associate with angels of fury serving other deities, because as the punishers of doctrinal violations they tend to get into conflicts with enforcers of rival doctrine. When not serving their main purpose, angels of fury are usually turned loose to fight demons, fallen angels, and other enemies of the faith.
These angels’ leader, Ksoppghiel, bears a Nomina Barbara† and either destroyed or captured dozens of fallen angels. The most famous angels of fury are Af and Hemah. Ex-Angels of Fury: An angel of fury that becomes a free angel or changes deities loses all abilities of this prestige class, becoming an exangel of fury. An ex-angel of fury with a new patron regains his class abilities if he receives an atonement spell from a cleric of his new faith whose level equals or exceeds his own. This allows even a fallen angel of fury to perform his duties serving an evil deity or a great fiend. Hit Die: d8
