A beautiful, extremely tall, humanlike creature with long, feathery wings, with smooth gold skin that seams to glow out to sixty feat from the creature.

Radiant angels guide other beings in to the light and are willing to fight the fight for good at the drop of a hat. They are the group of angels that are sent to help foster heroes when they are needed in a world. So they got there name not just from the light that they shed but for the hope they can bring to a world.

A radiant angel is about 7 feet tall and weighs about 260 pounds.

Combat
A radiant angel is willing to go in and deal with evil on its own even if other people are not willing. It usually uses its spell-like abilities then closes into combat to hit them with their heavenly burst longsword until they give up or are gone for good.

A radiant angel’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Spell-like Abilities: At will—detect evil, lantern light*, Light, Prismatic Spray, Radiant Shield*, Sunbeam (DC 21); 3/day—Plane Shift (DC 21). Caster level 14th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Dispel Darkness (Su): A radiant angel automatically dispels any darkness spell within 60 feet.
Halo of Light (Su): At all times, a radiant angel is surrounded by a radiant glow that sheds bright light to a radius of 60 feet and shadowy illumination to 120 feet.
Radiant Healing (Su): Because of a radiant angel’s light affinity, any light spell that deals damage directed at it cures 1 point of damage for each 3 points of damage it would otherwise deal. The radiant angel gets no saving throw against light effects.
Reflect Spells (Su): Targeted spells and spell-like effects that fail to penetrate the radiant angel’s spell resistance are reflected back upon their caster.

*See the Book of Exalted Deeds for this spell or feat.
**See the Book of Exalted Deeds for the weapon ability.

The angelic messenger's they are always taking some message some place. Its not often you see them in a fight witch after much work I have found they are not the best upclose fighters. As a matter of fact there not good fighters at all. They do seam the have the ability to boost there allies moral in a fight. So I think they are also used as suport in a big fight.

An angelic form stands in front of you. Its body seams covered in a white robe that covers all there body except there golden eyes and its white wings.

Angelic Messengers are one of the main messengers of the upper planes. Their second purpose is to help the upper planer armies as support. They work in all cases to try to boost the moral of their allies in combat or otherwise.

Angelic messengers speak Celestial, Draconic, and Common, though they can communicate with almost any creature thanks to their tongues ability.

An angelic Messenger is about 5 feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds.

Combat
An angelic messenger is not the type that likes close combat. They would rather get away if they are on there own to get to where they where going then fight. When they are teamed up with others of the upper planes, they try to help as much as they can. Their angelic boost ability helps their allies in combat even when the angelic messenger stays farther in the back of the combat.

An angelic messenger’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Spell-like Abilities: At will-Cure Miner Wounds, Detect evil, Light, Message; 5/day-Lantern light*. Caster level 4th. The save DC are Charisma-based.
Angelic Moral Boost (Su): Any creature within 90 ft. with the good subtype gains a moral bonus to there attack and damage roles equal to the angelic messengers Charisma modifier (usually +3). This ability does not stack with other angelic messengers’ moral boosting effects, use the better value.

*See the Book of Exalted Deeds for this spell

Looks cool. Just a few grammar corrections:

In the description of the Radiant Angel, there is technically no verb in the primary clause. If you read it out loud, you should be left wondering, "Yes? What about it?"

"Morale", not "moral".

"Minor", not "miner".

You sometimes say "there" when referring to something belonging to a creature that is gender-neutral or something. It should be "their" spelling-wise, but grammar-wise, it should be something more like "its" (without an apostrophe), since "they" is plural, never singular. It's a tough rule, but that's how it goes.

Don't mind me, though. I'm just a grammar nut.

jeez rys, that's harsh.

sometimes you're using a spell check, and you get homonyms and such. like using feat in the description when you mean feet. that's understandable.

I hardly think she's trying to insult him. I wouldn't mind if people payed a bit more attention to their grammar.

Well I droped the secont one off my list in any case. It became to hard to make it work right. Spelling I could fix but it was getting harder to make the Messenger work right.
