Ghaeles are fiend-hunting knights of Elysium and champions of the freedom to take up arms against oppressors and other evils. Ghaeles rarely engage directly in mortal wars, but where fiends are involved they make an exception. A ghaele might assume the guise of a mortal to fight fiends alongside others, hoping to bolster morale and teach good tactics against such supernatural foes. Ghaeles serve various deities and empyreal lords of Elysium, though many have an affinity for Cayden Cailean in his

Abilities
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Free Blade —
Light Form — A ghaele's body is partially corporeal and partially composed of light, with a color corresponding to the elemental energy currently residing in its blade (see Choose Weakness). It can move through solid objects but can't end its action within a solid object.
Choose Weakness (concentrate, divine, manipulate) — A ghaele attempts to Recall Knowledge about a foe it is facing. If successful, it can change the elemental damage dealt by its greatsword and light ray to acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic, usually to match the a foe's weakness. It can also change its energy resistance to any of these energy types (this can be a different type than for its attacks). The choices remain until it next uses Choose Weakness.
Ghaele's Gaze (divine, visual) — When a ghaele fixes its gaze upon a non-good creature, the creature suffers the effects of Divine Decree (DC 33 Will save). If it survives, the creature is temporarily immune to Ghaele's Gaze for 1 minute.
Holy Blade (divine) — Any weapon becomes a +2 Holy Striking weapon while the ghaele wields it.

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLAND / AERIALA ranged attacker can finish off a target already weakened by the gaze effect's Will save before it recovers.
FlankerLAND / AERIALA melee skirmisher can slip into position while this durable frontline holy warrior draws Strikes and Reactive Strikes.
SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that pins a target compounds the single-target gaze debuff into a fuller lockdown.
PUNISHES
✖ low Will✖ melee reliance✖ isolated allies
Avoid stacking with another aerial Anvil; both compete for the same frontline attention and crowd melee space.
