Radiant Idol

A radiant idol was an angel that was banished from the

celestial realm of Syrania and cast down to the Material

Plane. One sin led to their fall: the desire to be wor­

shiped by mortals. Now in the mortal realm, most radi­

ant idols gather cults of devoted followers.

Fallen Angels. The insatiable hunger to be adored

can transform a fallen angel, physically and mentally.

In its true form, a radiant idol appears to be a warped

angel. It might have bloody stumps in place of its wings,

or its wings could be weighted down with chains repre­

senting its pride. A radiant idol uses disguise self to hide

its corruption, presenting an image of celestial glory.

The Weight of Corruption. When a radiant idol

achieves a sizable following through silvered words and

demonstrations of power, its facade begins to crack,

and a downward spiral ensues. As the radiant idol sinks

deeper into the realm of material power, it begins twist­

ing its followers, leading them ever deeper into ominous

ritualism, hedonistic folly, and fanatical doom.

Immortal Nature. A radiant idol doesn't require food,

drink, or sleep.

charmed in this way can repeat the saving throw at the end of

each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once

it succeeds on the saving throw, a creature is immune to this

radiant idol's Aura of False Divinity for 24 hours.

gestion, raise dead

save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \)
