Cherub’s Arrow [two-actions] (attack, concentrate, divine, emotion, mental) The cherub concentrates on an arrow they have nocked in their bow, imbuing it with supernatural power before firing it at a target within 30 feet. The arrow inflicts no damage on a hit, and instead has one of the following effects, chosen by the cherub. While the cherub can use this ability every round if they so choose, they can never pick the same effect twice in a row. A creature struck must succeed at a DC 14 Will save or be affected as follows, depending on the cherub’s choice (on a critical hit, the creature takes a –2 penalty to the saving throw).Delight The target becomes off-guard as they become distracted by all the wonders of life until the start of the cherub’s next turn.Love The target becomes fascinated for 1 minute by a second, non-cherub creature within 30 feet of the cherub whom the target can see. This effect has the visual trait.Peace The target is filled with a sense of tranquility and takes a –1 status penalty to attack rolls for 1 minute.Regret The target becomes filled with shame and remorse, becoming sickened 1 (sickened 2 on a critical failure).
Cherubs Of Many Planes
Cherubs can hail from any of the celestial Outer Planes—Elysium, Nirvana, and especially Heaven. Regardless of their origins, their goals remain the same: to seek out mortals and to encourage positive relationships between them, to spread kindness and love, and perhaps have a little good-hearted mischief along the way. The typical cherub presented here is one from Heaven—a pudgy, winged child. Those from Nirvana look more like small anthropomorphic animals, while those from Elysium are more slender and lithe, looking more like a bird-winged pixie.
