Naomi

Stance Known: Martial Furor (Holy Sword 1st) – Whenever you strike a foe, you or an ally within 10 feet of you may heal for 3 points of HP damage.
Techniques known:

• Glistening Wall of Embers (Angelic Light Boost 2nd) – Allies within 30 feet of you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to armor class and 4 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points stack with other sources, and last for 3 rounds.
• Holy Shrapnel (Holy Sword Strike 1st) – As an action, make an attack (as a melee attack) against one foe within 20 feet. This attack deals your weapon's damage, plus your charisma modifier, as radiant damage. Regardless if the attack succeeds or not, motes of radiant energy suffuse the area in a 15ft burst from the target for 1 round. These motes function similar to caltrops, but ignore your allies and affect even creatures that do not touch the ground, and deal 6 points of radiant damage instead of the normal caltrop damage (a creature may only take damage once per turn from these motes), and have all of their movement speeds halved for 3 rounds.
• Lightning Blade (Holy Sword Strike 3rd) – As an action, make an attack (as a melee attack) against one foe within 30 feet. This attack deals 3d8 points of damage, adding your charisma modifier, as electricity damage to the target; regardless if the attack is successful or not, a clap of thunder deals 3d8 points of damage as sonic damage in a 10 foot burst centered on the target. A successful constitution save halves this sonic damage.
• Twin Wing Guard (Angelic Light Strike 1st) – You gain a +4 shield bonus to armor class until the start of your next turn, and initiate a melee attack against a foe within reach.

• Wind Blade (Holy Sword Strike 2nd) – You deal 3d6 points of slashing damage in a 30 foot line, adding your charisma modifier to this damage. Creatures within this line must make a reflex save, or take 3d8 points of force damage on a failed save.

Gear and Equipment

Weapons

• Cryptstone Hammer: A standard-issue weapon among angels that may come against undead foes. It's blessed nature allows it to even dispose of ghosts and similar spectres.
• Holy Blade: MW Flame-flecked Steel arming sword. This blade may even strike a fiend that is possessing a mortal without harming the host.
• Three Banner Spear: MW (Fiend Hunting) Celestial Silver Spear; 1d8 piercing, 20/x3 critical, +1 attack, +2 damage vs Fiends (Evil Outsiders). The three banners each increase the enhancement bonus of the spear by +1, and as long as at least one banner remains, it gains the Evil Outsider Bane property (enhancement bonus increased by +2 and damage by +2d6 against evil outsiders).
  • Red banner, single use. Choose one: Heal a creature for 81 hit points, regenerating any lost body parts, and if the creature has been dead for no longer than 10 minutes and the healing would bring them above 0 HP, they are revived as if they had not died; Cast Mythic Remove Curse at CL9th and Mythic Rank 3; Grant DR10/- to a single creature for 1 hour.
  • White Banner, single use. Produces a barrier that can prevent up to 255 points of damage over the course of 10 minutes; excess damage from a single effect is simply lost.
  • Green Banner, single use. Can be planted to sprout into a holy tree that sanctifies and purifies the surrounding area for up to 500 feet, and increases over time as the tree matures.

Worn

• Armor Vellastra: A holy veil that protects its wearer from the negative effects of whatever plane they find themselves on, as if they were a natural denizen of that plane. It also protects as armor, granting a +4 armor bonus to AC, but does not restrict more than normal clothing would, and grants DR1/- against the attacks of undead creatures and evil outsiders.
• Feet Apltrick: Standard survival gear, it produces 3 berries a day as if goodberry were cast with a caster level of 1st. As angelic incarnations are highly resistant to arcanophagy, this is usually sufficient to sustain them for the majority of their deployments.
