ON THE COVER
In this scene illustrated by Mehmet Ozen, we
see an angelic legion about to wipe a certain
evil off existence. As the mere presence of
angels cleanses the environment that has been
corrupted, setting fire to the denizens of evil
below, we see the angels floating down with
inordinate grace and elegance.

Introduction
Most stories, whether in song-form, written on a page, or performed on stage, tell tales of the struggle between good and evil;
between angels and demons, between heroes and villains. However, what makes a story stand the test of time are the unique
qualities of these heroes and villains; the ways in which they differ from us and from one another, as well as the ways in which
they are similar. It’s the details of a story, the nuances between each hero that stay with us readers, and that allow us to find joy
in walking through tales that are more or less quite similar.
This book is dedicated to all good heroes and everything for which they stand. In the pages to come, you will find many things
ranging from all sorts of angels, to what tools a soldier of good has at their disposal as they march against the armies of evil. You
will find what makes a hero into what they are, the concepts for which they fight, the deities they worship, and even what one
must do if one ever leaves the path of the hero. You will find information on concepts such as redemption and atonement or
sacred alchemy, as well as tales of great heroes who have all contributed to the good fight in one way or another; be-it through
healing the innocent, slaying the bad, or educating the ignorant.
This book can be used by both Game Masters and players for both good and evil campaigns. While the content that fills the pages
of this book mostly concerns good, one must not forget that great adventures are forged from the duality between the light and
the dark. In other words, a proper hero will make the story of any villain that much better.
Corpus Angelus is a book containing over 350 pages of good, righteous content. May you read it in the light.
There are five chapters in this book; new character options, new rules, faith and deities, magic, heroes and angels.
Chapter 1 - Character Options: This chapter includes new races, archetypes, backgrounds, feats, and a new class; Paragon.
The options presented in this chapter will let you create a vast variety of different characters. Anyone with good intentions can
become a hero, but the information here will shape the nuances that sets them apart.
Chapter 2 - Offerings of Angelic Powers: This chapter includes information on the paths that must be walked by heroes, as
well as mechanics concerning knighthood, sainthood, exorcisms, prayer and worship, and much more. You’ll find that each path
or each mechanic entails a different boon or reward, meant to guide the angelic in their eternal struggle against the demonic.
Chapter 3 - Orders of the Heavens: This chapter introduces new deities and cults & organizations formed to please the powers
of good. Even though there is little limit to the capabilities of a good deity, evil is everywhere, and must thus be wiped off the
face of all realms. Here, you may find information on the mortal emissaries of these deities, as well as guilds formed for specific
ways of fighting evil, and for spreading good.
Chapter 4 - Angelic Magic, Items and Equipment: This chapter includes new spells, rituals, equipment, and magic items. Just
as evil characters can bring havoc to battle with their unholy auras and profane spells; the good have faith and the support of all
that is good on their side. From spells that bring down the kingdom of heaven upon the heads of evil to prayers that ensure the
protection of the good; you can find many useful tools of the good in this chapter.
Chapter 5 - Heroes and Monsters: This chapter includes heroic NPCs and good monsters. Here, you can find the important
characters of the cults and organizations in this book, as well as independent NPCs that you can easily use in your adventures.
This is also where you’ll find the many types of angels that assist heroes on their holy path, acting as the light that guides their
way through the dark.
Throughout these chapters, you will notice that a lot of spells are marked with a star (*) sign. Unless otherwise stated, this sign
indicates that the spell is a new spell presented in Corpus Angelus.

Philosophy of Good
T
here are many evil forces in the universe. They spread evil, wreak havoc upon the good, fight amongst themselves,
tempt and corrupt souls, and grow or shrink in power as a result. Whatever the result is, they succeed at spreading evil
and showing what one can get or achieve through evil methods. Evil is easy to spread due to its tempting nature, and
benevolent forces must be the epitome of goodness to be able to ward it off.
Respecting Life
Selflessness

good takes power from healing. Respecting life entails the The act of putting others before yourself is a very effective

mortals based on heavenly techniques, and are thus still of and related to the heavens.

Bard
Colleges
There are bards whose stories and songs aid the good in their
eternal struggle; either by spreading the tales of heroes and
their glory, or by providing them with divine power in battle.
In archetypes such as the College of Hope, the College of Truth,
and the Hymn Singer, you’ll find bards that do both.
College of Hope
The College of Hope focuses on all the good that surrounds us,
and its members believe that hope moves us forward in life.
They perform in honor of the bright and happy days to come,
as a gentle reminder of the beauty in life; for it is impossible
to fully be aware of it at all times. Usually, the members of this
college visit battlefields or places in crisis to lift the spirits of
those within.

Becoming an angel caller is a hard path; it requires you to
live according to your deity’s tenets and respect the good. You
should not forget that a divine being has permitted you to use
the angelic powers you have, and they may not be so generous
if you leave its path. If you stray from your path, your deity
may demand that you atone for your sins to be able to use the
powers of angel calling again. The GM decides whether your
actions require atonement or not.
Although being an angel caller is difficult, the fellow
followers of your deity highly respect you owing to your
determination and unwavering faith.

some relation to the forces of good. These creatures and
organizations value different aspects of goodness and seek
to protect their values as well as creatures, relics, and sacred
places that represent these values.
These creatures, places, and relics are usually guarded by
soldiers and specialists devoted to the ideas they represent.
However, there are times when even their protection falls
short. In such cases, blessed knights in golden armors answer
their calls.
Such blessed warriors are called Holy Knights. These fighters
with angelic powers are usually accompanied by celestial
squires or steeds. Their indiscriminate approach earns the
blessings of the people, which in turn empowers their arsenal,
allowing their good deeds to grow greater.
Holy knights live by a code of conduct, in which every good
value is of equal importance. They have the sacred duty of
helping anyone and anything, so long as they harbor goodness
within. As long as they don’t stray from their code, a holy
knight is free to do as they wish. While some find their calling
with clergies, serving the holy people of a sacred place, others
travel the world in search of more people to assist.
Celestial Squire
Starting at 7th level, you can conduct a 1-hour long ritual
to summon and bond with a willing celestial squire (p. 234).
You can have only one squire at a time and it tries to fulfill
the commands you issue to it, as long as they are morally
acceptable. If your command is not morally acceptable, the
squire will tell you so.
As an action, you can magically summon your
celestial squire or send it back to its home in the
lands of life and illumination. When summoned,
it appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of
you, or in the unoccupied space that is closest to
you if there is none within 5 feet. Each time the
squire is summoned, it appears with full health and
any gear it was carrying when it was last sent back.
When the celestial squire dies, it disappears and
journeys back to its home for its eternal rest and
drops any equipment it was carrying. In this
case, you need to summon and bond with a new
squire.
You can summon a celestial squire of

times at 10th, and four times at 14th level.

it to others. Your students and their education are more
important to you than magic itself. Teaching can sometimes
be hard and require restless nights of hard work, but the
students appreciate your patience and this gives you a sense of
accomplishment.
To start your career, you graduated from a school that
teaches the basics of the arcane arts and convinced a professor
to let you work for them.
Instructor
You start to read and grade exams and homework, and report
them to your superiors. Through this process, you learn the
basics of teaching.
Starting at 2nd level, the money and time others spend to
copy a spell from your spellbook are halved.
Supervised Cantrips
Beginning at 2nd level, you can teach how to cast a cantrip to
others even if they have no knowledge of the arcane arts.
You give an hour-long lecture to a creature and lend them
the ability to cast one cantrip that you know. The creature
uses your spellcasting ability to cast the cantrip. You can lend
a maximum number of cantrips equal to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of 1).

School of Sealing
Weakening Seal
Starting at 2nd level, you can prevent a creature from using its
powers. As a reaction, you can target a creature within 30 feet
of you. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or
be affected by one of the following effects of your choice:
• The target’s speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its
next turn.
• The target has disadvantage on the next saving throw it

• The target takes 1d6 radiant damage.

makes within 1 minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses after you finish a long rest.
Ritual of Protecting Seal
Also at 2nd level, you can place a seal on objects to protect Master Sealer
them against specific types of creatures. To do so, you perform

The force damage increases to 5d6 at 10th, 6d6 at 14th, and
7d6 at 18th level.
In addition, when you reach 14th level, the effects of the
ritual become permanent, and you can seal the item against
evil-aligned creatures instead of choosing a single creature
type. Only you or a wish spell can dispel the effects of the
ritual.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest to do
so again.
Interruptive Seal
At 6th level, you learn to form a seal between a creature and
magic. Whenever you cast the dispel magic or the counterspell
spells, you can choose to have advantage on the ability check
required by the spell.
In addition, when you cast the banishment spell, the target
has disadvantage on the Charisma saving throw, and you only
have to keep it under the effect of the spell for 5 turns instead
of 1 minute for the target to remain banished.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain any
expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Devotion Paths
D evotion Paths is an optional set of rules for GMs and players who wish to spice up their NPCs and characters. In this
mechanic, you devote yourself to a concept, to a cause, and try to walk its path. Each path has its own good deeds
and sins. As you live according to these restrictions, you understand the path more deeply and are rewarded for your
devotion. The rewards are generally bestowed by universal forces related to the path, such as the deities of the path to which
you are devoted, or powerful angels and fey.

Temples
T emples are the main gathering places for any believer to follow their deity’s teachings. People can go to a temple to
pray, attend events like weddings or funerals, or conduct rituals. Since almost all temples are dedicated to a single
deity each, all events that transpire within are conducted in the ways of a particular deity. Something else that all
temples have in common is the presence of clerics, paladins, paragons, and priests, who are there to perform the
necessary acts of worship and to meet a myriad of needs of both the temple and of the worshippers. There are also
healers or cooks in some temples, while there are monks or knights in others. In other words, anyone that has dedicated their
life to a deity can be a part of a temple in one way or another.
The concept of a temple depends on the deity it serves, and of a temple can be considered the owner as well.
different temples perform different tasks in society, ranging
from simple chores to a divine mission. For example, a temple
dedicated to death can be located next to a graveyard in which Building a Temple

Noiriel, Lady of the Redeemed
Noiriel was about to intervene, the paragon started begging
for mercy and offered his services to the creature in exchange
for the safety of his family. Noiriel couldn’t believe the sudden
turn of events. She watched in shock as the paragon of light
turned into a harbinger of darkness and started to single
handedly destroy temples. When Noiriel understood that there
was nothing she could do to stand in the paragon’s way, she
called for assistance.
The corrupt paragon was captured by the angelic forces
that answered Noiriel’s call, while the creature of darkness
was annihilated by the mortals. Unfortunately, the paragon’s
family was already dead. The paragon was subjected to
celestial trial, and was sentenced to death by execution.
However, Noiriel’s conscience kept eating at her. She too felt
responsible for the paragon’s crimes. She had watched him
for years; she should have predicted what would happen, she
should have seen it coming. She thus stated to the jury that
she wanted to be punished as well.

Amarashi
Amarashis are rare creatures who wander the night. An
amarashi has the head and tail of a ferret, the body of a
gorilla, and the feet of a goat. Even though their looks
generally scare people off, an amarashi is actually really
friendly. They are herbivores and are quite affectionate to
smaller creatures, whom they gently pet if they can catch.
Mystical Creatures. An amarashi doesn’t have genitalia.
They don’t reproduce like common mortals. It is said
that when an amarashi dies, two flowers sprout out of its
body. If a creature eats those flowers, they give birth to an
amarashi.

creature. It can chase someone down just to touch them or

Angel of Dreams
Sometimes heavenly, sometimes
hellish, sometimes gibberish; all
conscious creatures witness the
unique experience that is dreaming.
And it should come as no surprise that
there are angels who have control over
dreams, just as there are certain types of
evil who use nightmares to harm others.
These angels, angels of dreams, protect
the righteous in their dreams, and stand
vigilant against the darkness and nightmares
that threaten their peace of mind. They also carry
divine messages and visions to the dreaming through
dreams.
Divine Creation. An angel of dreams is an angel and doesn’t
require food, drink, or sleep.
Ruler of Dreams. There are tales of immensely powerful
angels of dreams, such that they are worshiped by fey and other
creatures who worship or live in dreams. They may even grant
clerical powers or be warlock patrons.
Unreal Existence. An angel of dreams is a creature of
dreams, which makes its existence physically untouchable and
incomprehensible. They don’t have an exact shape and they are
extremely resistant to mundane weapons. Additionally, because
of the chaotic nature of dreams, there are angels of dreams who
are of nonlawful alignments.
This feature also makes them able to directly affect the minds
of others. They can smite the minds of their enemies as they
attack. Although the attack is the same in mechanics, each angel
of dreams presents the attack in a different way. Some of them
create a rain of heavenly blades raining down the sky, some blast
their enemies to dust with arcane bolts, and others strike in other unique ways.

Angel of Flames
Not all angels are born of light and
radiant energy. Some are born of
fire and are bound to their deity with
a burning sense of devotion. Their
righteous rage, which they only unleash
upon the wicked, is ferocious. An angel
of flames is the blade of the divine that
beheads heretics, and the arrow that
pierces the hearts of the apostates.
These angels have four burning wings
that illuminate their surroundings with holy
fire. The same fire glows in the scars they have
on their bodies.

Angel of Gates
In the plane above, an angel sits like a sacred statue, holding its six arms open. An angel of gates
is the angel that creates gateways for celestial armies to go through, holding a portal in each of
its hands. Its duty is to protect portals and those who travel between realms. The angel’s head is
separate from its body and floats above it like a giant crystal. It also has eyes that can pierce illusions
around it.
An angel of gates can open a portal to anywhere, so long as it is not protected by magical means,
and they can sustain this magical passage for years to come. Also, they can summon a creature from
other planes. An angel of gates never intervenes in others’ missions, they just control the portals.
In addition, an angel of gates avoids battle as much as possible because it is not their duty to be a
part of holy destruction but rather to bring to battle those who are the embodiment of righteous
destruction itself.
Divine Creation. An angel of gates is an angel and doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.

shows itself and mostly avoids conflict.

Fiend Hunter
Fiend hunters are the most common elite forces of
the organization called “Night Hunters” (p. 153).
They are trained specifically to hunt evil creatures.
They are called fiend hunters owing to their ability
and proficiency in tracking and hunting down fiends,
although they stand against any form of evil.
Only a few possess the rank of fiend hunter since
they are both masters of divine spellcasting and the
art of war.
They are always on the road when they are not in
their organization’s bases of operation. They dedicate
their lives to helping towns in need, and to fighting
monsters; fiends in particular. Although they mostly
travel alone, it is possible to come across fiend
hunters acting in duos as well.
When fiend hunters visit a town, they are welcome.
They are often offered a place to stay until they
decide to move on. Those around them love to listen
to their exciting stories of fighting fiends, which
ensures a crowd around them, especially in taverns.

the blood of an angel, while a paladin who has saved a red
dragon’s eggs can drastically change the dragon’s motives,
having them gain a heavenly aspect over time.

Iron Angel
An iron angel is an angel forged by fire from iron. Their
faith in law and in good are so intense that they burn with
divine fire when they unleash their fury against enemies,
which causes them to look like angels in the shape of
molten metal.
Divine Creation. An iron angel is an angel and doesn’t
require food, drink, or sleep.
Molten Swords. Only the souls of righteous warriors
who wish to continue battling after they die are worked
in the angelic forges and reshaped as iron angels. When a
devoted soul becomes an iron angel, it also receives a pair
of blessed, molten weapons as a gift. Each of these swords
is unique to its owner, and disappears when its owner dies.
When an iron angel receives a target to destroy, it can
write the name of the target within the blade by using a
forge, which is made easier by the weapon being molten.
When it does so, the iron angel deals double damage to the
target with these weapons.
Restless Hunters. An iron angel’s duty is to seek and
destroy the enemies of the forces of good. Once it starts to
hunt a creature, the iron angel magically sees the 1-month-
old traces of the target’s aura, which makes it a perfect
hunter.

Spirit of Love
Spirits of love are spirits who love to watch creatures treat each
other with affection, and who commit themselves to spreading and
promoting love and affection everywhere, even in the deepest corners
of the coldest and darkest places.
Although they are incredibly powerful beings, the spirits of love
generally choose not to show their might. They do not favor battle,
enter combat only when they have to, and try to find pleasure in small,
simple things. They walk among mortals to ensure their happiness,
and they cherish the joy taken from the simple moments in daily
life. However, if the need arises to be aggressive and something
threatens what they stand for, they become the fiercest enemies
imaginable. If need be, they sacrifice themselves for the sake of
love without a moment’s hesitation.
Different Forms. A spirit of love can be the spirit of a deceased lover,
an angel, or a creature of other forms. It can act independently, be the
servant of a deity of love, or be an angelic emissary.
If the spirit is an angel, its alignment is lawful, its type is celestial,
and it has resistance to radiant damage.
Additionally, a spirit of love doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.
Rainbow Riders. Each time a spirit of love observes a simple
expression of love, such as the union of two lovers, a family spending
time together, or a mortal petting a stray dog it is elated and a rainbow
is created. They can also use these rainbows to teleport from one end to
the other.

to roam the Material Plane and feed on the pain of mortals.
Ironically, when they feed on pain, they make it go away,
offering comfort to their “victim”. Even more ironically, these
“victims” sense that something is wrong when their pain drains
away, which mostly leads to the discovery of the fiend and its
destruction.
Goodness by Mistake. Ukradolos are cowardly creatures. When
mortals started seeking them out to kill them, they changed
their methods and started to masquerade as good beings. They
started to help other creatures in disguise to offer comfort
and while doing so, they also drained their pain without them
noticing.
Goodness by Choice. An ukradolo masquerading as a traveling
merchant offering free blankets to freezing adventurers,
disguising oneself as a cook that offers warm food to the poor,
or impersonating a healer tending the wounds of a warrior
are all common occurrences that go unnoticed by most. What
started as a means of preservation ages ago has evolved into
sincere acts of kindness, further improved by draining pain
away.
Heretics amongst Heretics. Fiends (other than ukradolos) who
come across ukradolos, try to kill them on site, without so much
as a second thought. Having betrayed their very nature as well
as the purpose of their creators, ukradolos are even worse than
celestials from the standpoint of any other kind of fiend.
Misunderstood. These fiends are also hunted down and killed
by mortals. Even though their intentions are good, mortals
usually do not notice, as they are distracted by their horror
of ukradolos’ fiendish features. Most ukradolos adopt a new
humanoid form, because of which they become delusional;
starting to think that their new form is their natural one. The
truth mostly reveals itself when an ukradolo has a child from a
mortal, or when it dies.
