Passives
Spellcasting (seraphic war-litanies)
The redeemed Zariel wields the radiant liturgy of the host, scouring fiends with holy fire and calling light against the dark.
Angelic Resilience
Advantage on saves against spells; flies 150 ft; her attacks deal 1 extra Vigor damage to fiends. Three times per day, when she fails a save, she succeeds instead.
Maneuvers
Rebuke the Servants of Darkness
Her blazing symbol flares; each fiend within 30 ft makes a Fate save (DC 19) or is frightened of her and cannot willingly approach her for 1 round.
Declarations
Declared in the enemy tactical window and resolved at the start of its next turn. Any Vitality it loses first forces the disruption roll: on a 1 the declaration is lost.
Purging Flames
Holy fire erupts from her blade in a 60 ft radius. Every enemy in it makes a Fate save (DC 19): takes 1d12 damage on a failure, or 1 Vigor damage on a success. Fiends take 1 extra damage on a failure.
Reactions
Javelin of Light
When an enemy within 120 ft damages one of her allies, she hurls a lance of radiance; that enemy takes 1 Vigor damage.
Tactics
GM tactics
Leads from the front with blazing sword. Opens with Purging Flames against demonic hordes. Rebukes the Servants of Darkness to drive fiends off her allies, and answers every blow struck at them with a Javelin of Light. Will not retreat from a righteous battle under any circumstances.
