Solars are among the greatest of all angels, ranking just below empyreal lords. Many solars serve at the right hand of a deity or champion a cause that benefits an entire world.

Abilities

Constant Spells — Constant Spells
+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic
Regeneration 20 (Deactivated by Unholy) — Regeneration
Aura of Protection (aura, divine) — 20 feet. Allies in the solar's aura gain a +2 status bonus to AC against evil creatures and a +2 status bonus to saves against effects from evil creatures. The bonus increases to +4 against control by evil creatures and attacks by evil summoned creatures. When the solar or an ally is hit by an attack from a creature in the aura, that foe must succeed at a DC 43 Will save or be blinded for 1 minute (this is an incapacitation effect). It's then temporarily immune for 1 minute.
Animate Weapon
Arrow of Mortality — The solar doesn't need to provide ammunition for their bow. When they draw their bow, they create a magical arrow of light that sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius until the end of the solar's next turn. On a critical hit with the arrow, if the target has 75 or fewer Hit Points after taking the damage, it drops to 0 Hit Points and becomes Dying 1 (or, if it was already dying, increases its dying value by 3).
Change Shape (concentrate, divine, polymorph) — The solar can take on the appearance of any Small or Medium humanoid. This doesn't change their Speed or Strikes. Change Shape
Holy Armaments (divine) — Any weapon gains the effect of a Holy property rune while a solar wields it.
