Birth and existence

When there was nothing except the primordial void, a powerful explosion of light shocked creation. In the center of this powerful explosion was a divine embryo that housed 23 divine entities. These unborn entities were the solars, the first to exist in the young multiverse. They were later followed by the aberrations who claim to be the oldest.

Angels are formed from the astral essence of benevolent gods and are thus divine beings of great power and wisdom. There are only twenty-four solars in existence since it is impossible for deities to create them with their essence given the solar's godlike power and immeasurable strength.

It is rumored that the lesser angels were created by the gods in the image of the solars but could not fully replicate the power and might of the solars.

It is unknown where solars draw their power from but it is rumored that the solars draw their power from the positive planes.

No entity knows the true origin of the solars. No one knows whether the solars have a creator or are naturally born. Despite the mystery surrounding them, no one is brave enough to confront Xephalam, the first solar. No matter the reason, solars exist to do good and vanquish evils that threaten to upend the balance of the multiverse.

Pledge of the solar

The solars, unlike the angels modeled after them, are free beings that have no allegiances or masters. Despite their freedom, the solars desired to pledge themselves to other worthy entities that could direct their power into other important matters. The solars are wise creatures that carefully choose whom they wish to give their power to. The solars all collectively have the power of foresight so their pledges sometimes seem eccentric or weird. An example would be when a solar once pledged his power to a young child, under the guise of a human knight.

The 24 solars

There are 24 solars that exist in the multiverse. Unlike their weaker angelic copies, solars have free will and are not bound by any beings except themselves, unless they pledge themselves. Out of the 24, eight known solars have pledged themselves to benevolent beings while the other 16 lie in wait or have not yet found a being worthy to pledge their power to.

A Solar's powers

The solars are born with innately powerful abilities which they continue to hone and strengthen. Solars continue to learn and improve, gaining new abilities and new skills as time passes. Some solars, instead of learning new abilities, hone their already natural abilities and create new ones from pre-existing ones. Some of them try to find new ways to strengthen their power for the evil that they will soon face. But even with all their powers and abilities Solars have their preferred way of doing combat. When a solar is newly born or newly reincarnated, they already have a plethora of powerful abilities that will aid them and others in their growth.

   Angelic Weapon - The weapons that solars use immediately get infused by their divine nature and exude radiant power dealing more damage.

   Divine Awareness - The solar sees through all lies and deceit.

   Healing Touch - The body of the solar is filled with a near infinite amount of divine energy that allows them empower and heal anybody they touch.

   Magic Resistance - The body of the solar is purely divine in nature and allows them to resist magical effects easily. It gives them advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

   Solar Sight - The solar's natural sight is supernaturally powerful.

   Teleport - A solar can easily bend space to their will and teleport in and out of the battlefield.

   Divine Nature - The divine nature of the solar allows them to manifest multiple abilities stemming from their own bodies. They are also immune to necrotic and poison damage and cannot be charmed, exhausted, frightened, or poisoned. They also have natural resistance to radiant and bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.

Field of judgement

Solars are capable of summoning their true power when they are in their field of judgement. A solar's field of judgement is where they are at their absolute peak. The field can be equated to a powerful dragon or a demon lord's lair. If a solar dies or is banished, these effects fade over the course of 100 years.

Fate and Destinies

While it is undeniable that most beings are intertwined by fate and it is mostly unchangeable, the solars are exempt from fate. Born into existence with only one thing in mind, the solars are fateless but knew what they were created for.

It is not uncommon for apocalypses that were meticulously planned by the gods or similar beings to be suddenly stopped by a nearby solar or a solar whose jurisdiction is being challenged.

Usually for a prophecy that would confer planetary destruction, the masterminds need to negotiate with the solars. And if any single one of the solars is unconvinced they have every right to join in and ruin the created prophecy.

True Divinity

While one could argue that deities are the most divine beings and none could surpass them in those terms, this is untrue. While deities claim to be divine, a large majority of them were born in the astral sea.

The purest form of divinity that has blessed the multiverse are the solars. Born from the divine embryo that birthed the positive plane, the solars continue their mission. Whatever their mission is, the solars must continue to care for the balance.

The blood of solars is golden and it is the liquid manifestation of the energies of the positive realms. While near impossible to harm, powerful creatures that fought the solars have wounded them. Their blood is said to contain strong healing properties and sometimes used for powerful rituals.

There have been cases where some solars have willingly given their blood to mortals as a reward. So there is at least some form of credence to it. The blood of solars is capable of healing all wounds, resurrecting the dead, banishing fiends, destroying undead, and even turn a mortal into a powerful immortal.

Source of Power

While it might seem that solars have their own power sources, which is true, all solars draw more power from the positive realms when they need it. This is what makes the solars so powerful. They have a near infinite power source which allows them to fight continuously.

While all solars are already powerful they can become more powerful by fusing with the power the heavens already provide for them.

Class Archtypes

Class Archtypes will later be introduced in the Solar Compendium.

Body Concept.

Body Concept is the act of fusing the understanding of a concept to the body, this is one of the main powers of true magic. Due to this fusing, body concept is purely defensive in nature.

Reality Concept.

Reality Concept is the act of willing reality to follow your concept's rules. Due to its powerful nature, reality concept is purely offensive in nature.

Will Concept.

Will Concept is the act of willing your concept to other beings in a non-offensive way. Due to its nature, will concept is purely utility in nature.

"As fire tempers steel, hardships temper the soul - Ragani."

There was once a legendary city called Variaden. Variaden was a beautiful and prosperous city. Travellers from all over the world would go to this city and sigh in awe, realizing that no city would ever rival this one, whether it be in the past or in the future. Something as rich and beautiful as this city would be coveted by greedy and malicious beings. It quickly garnered the attention of thousands of powerful beings, even Ragani.

War found Variaden quick. Kingdoms, cults, clans, tribes, and even planar beings forwarded their hand to try and make Variaden their own. A war erupted, so widespread that it threatened to destroy all of civilization. Despite the war, Ragani made no acts to stop it or prevent it. Ragani kept watch over the city. After a long and ardous battle, the solar almost left, labeling the war as a trifling matter, until he found the reason of the city's prosperity.

Underneath the city, there was a legendary beast capable of planetary destruction and it was asleep. The city leeched off its limitless energy to supply everything from magic items to simple everyday life. The energy the city siphoned was enough to keep the beast sleeping indefinitely but the war threatened to disturb its slumber. When Ragani realized the danger of this creature, he finally decided to act.

Legends are told of an awe-inspiring and deadly form burning with fire, slowly descending from the heavens and obliterating the city of Variaden. Meteors rained that day and destroyed every last bit of Variaden. There are no records of what happened in Variaden, but if one were to travel to the ruined city, they would only find a burnt city and a wasteland, incapable of supporting life.

Ragani is a solar that treated the plane of elemental fire as his home and has long since integrated its fiery power into his own. His appearance has been affected by his time in the plane of elemental fire as well. His eyes burn with the combined intensity of radiance and fire, eternally mixing with each other. His original wings have long since burned from the plane's element and have been replaced with a combination of his divine and the plane's fire energy.

Ragani's motivations are simple: to burn all evil until the universe becomes peaceful. As righteous and as pure his mission is, Ragani appears as anything but those. His crimson skin, burning eyes, and wings made of divine flame inspire fear in both his enemies and allies. Ragani charges into battle with his Burnt Greatsword cutting armies upon armies of his enemies, while his wings burn anyone who dares to attack him.

Ragani will only act if a great threat or evil threatens to destroy the peace he wishfully wants.

Ragani's Field of Judgement

Ragani's field of judgement is any location inhabited by an extremely powerful evil capable of upturning the balance of a plane. He must first deem an opponent evil and powerful enough to warrant activating his field. Once he activates his field, a 1000 mile radius would be consumed by his divine fire, leaving it as a burnt wasteland incapable of supporting life for 100 years. Ragani's CR increases to 28 (120,000 XP) inside his field.

Once in his field Ragani gains the following bonuses:

• The damage from Ragani's Burnt Angelic Weapons increases from 3d8 fire damage plus 3d8 radiant damage to 4d8 fire damage plus 4d8 radiant damage.
• Ragani's attacks, abilities and spells that deal fire damage ignore fire resistance and treat immunity as resistance.
• While in his field, Ragani regains 50 hit points at the start of his turn.

Variant: Mythic Ragani

If you believe that Ragani is lacking in power, you can use his mythic variant which adds a new layer of power unto his base kit.

The Hottest Fire (Mythic Trait: Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Ragani is reduced to 0 hit points, he doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, he regains 300 hit points and his burning aura's range is increased to 20 feet of him and also deals 21 (6d6) fire damage.

Mythic Actions

If Ragani's mythic trait is active, he can use the options below as legendary actions for 1 hour after using The Hottest Fire.

Incinerate (Costs 2 Actions). Ragani casts the spell fireball.

Fiery Blade (Costs 3 Actions). Ragani makes two attacks with his Burnt Greatsword.

Molten Core (Costs 4 Actions). Ragani creates a hovering molten core adjacent to him. The molten core has 10 AC, 25 hit points, fly speed of 20 feet, resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage, and immunity to fire, poison and psychic damage. For every molten core that is active, Ragani reduces any damage he takes by 5. The Molten Cores crumble to dust when Ragani stops using The Hottest Fire.

---

Fighting Ragani as a mythic encounter is equivalent to taking on two challenge rating 26 creatures in one encounter. Award a party 90,000 XP for defeating Ragani after he uses The Hottest Fire.

"Acts of goodness are not always wise, and acts of evil are not always foolish, but regardless, we shall always strive to be good - Arrid"

Angels try not to socialize with mortals, especially if it interferes with their missions and solars are more extreme. Despite the solitary nature of solars, there are some of them that actively seek to socialize with people.

A young man walked in the heat with a farmer's hat covering his head. He approached a plot of land and started to plow the fertile ground with a hoe. When he finished tilling the land, he sowed it with seeds and watered them. Once the job was done, an old farmer thanked him and offered him payment but the young man refused and simply said: "Use it when someone else is in need".

Not knowing what he meant but given the chance to keep his money, the farmer simply nodded. The young man simply smiled and walked through the village to look for another person to help.

Within minutes, the young man saw an old lady massaging her ankles. He saw a large basket full of fruits and its contents strewn across the floor. Immediately, he offered his help. Before the woman could deny his offer, the man's smile easily disarms her cautiousness. He did this everyday. He visited villages everyday, offering his help. Every morning he wakes up from his humble cottage, then travels towards villages, offering help for no reward.

Because of his kindness, people would constantly give him food, clothing, and even money but most of the time, he rejects everything of monetary value, claiming that he had no need for money.

At night, the kind young man went to his humble home. Unknown to everyone, this man's home was a ruse. He travelled to a cave near his home that was covered by an illusionary wall that only he could see.

Behind the wall was a beautiful room with luxurious furniture that only the wealthiest of the wealthy could afford. There was a woman so beautiful it would have been a sin to not be entranced by her. But even with the woman's extremely alluring charms, the man did not react and he kept a smile.

"Arrid, is it time for one of your stories once more?" Despite the woman's sarcasm, Arrid noticed a small amount of excitement. "Yes Phryix." Phryix rolled her eyes and brought a chair to the threshold of the room. Arrid sat down just outside the room and a chair appeared to catch him. Arrid started to recount his mundane adventures that day and despite Phryix's attitude, she listened intently.

It was not this easy the first time. At first, Phryix would always scream obscenities towards Arrid but after the first weeksm she eventually calmed down. Despite calming down, she refused to listen and would always try to find a way to trick Arrid or destroy the magic holding her prisoner. That quickly became stale and so, Arrid and Phryix were on talking terms. It has been a long time now but Arrid remembered every day they've been together.

"You know it'll never work."

Phryix interrupted Arrid's story but he smiled and continued, safe in the knowledge that he and his siblings have never erred before.

Time passed with this routine continuing over and over until one day.

"Arrid I want to go out"

Arrid smiled and calmly stood up and stared at the woman in front of him. Arrid waved his hand and the wall made out of 9 colors suddenly disappeared. Phryix slowly moved her hand through where the wall used to be. Her hands shake intensely and she charges Arrid.

Her hands were shaking intensely as she charged at Arrid. Arrid did nothing and accepted her attack. Phryix hugged him tightly with slight tears staining her cheeks.

"I can't believe it Arrid. You did it."

Arrid smiled one last time and stared into Phryix's eyes

"It wasn't me. It was all you demon lord Phryix."

Arrid strives to see and look for the goodness in every being's hearts even the most heartless ones. He usually disguises himself when in the presence of mortals. Arrid refuses to find and pledge himself to a god, believing that pledging himself to a god will restrict him in helping others. He did not integrate other elements into his body but chose to hone his already powerful arsenal of skills and mastered physical combat. Arrid's most potent ability is his powerful control over his healing abilities.

He honed his healing powers to the point of mastery which caused it to evolve. His healing abilities, when in his field of judgement, can now revive the dead. Despite his focus on healing magic, he is not weak in the field of combat. Unlike his other siblings, Arrid uses giant shields capable of smashing enemies to a pulp when he needs to but it is the most effective weapon to protect others from harm.

Surprisingly Arrid's charismatic and patient character has earned the respect and favor of many powerful allies. Allies that some of his siblings would be hard-pressed to defeat. This technically makes Arrid one of the more dangerous solars should he ask for the help of his friends but that is unlikely the case since solars would never allow others to fight for them.

It is both an insult to them and to their kind.

Arrid's Field of Judgement

Arrid's field of judgement is any location inhabited by a being who changed for the better but decided to revert to their evil ways. Another way for him to activate his field is if thousands of innocent have perished in an area. If Arrid deems a being worthy of using his field and his requirements are met, he can use it. Once Arrid uses his field, a 1000 mile radius would be filled by his divine energy influencing the people that live there for 100 years. Arrid's CR increases to 30 (155,000 XP) inside his field.

Once in his field Arrid gains the following bonuses:

• Evil creatures or creatures, that Arrid chooses, have their speed reduced by half and they cannot increase it by any magical means, unless they leave the field.
• Arrid can use his Healing Touch an unlimited amount of times.
• Arrid's healing word spell also acts as the spell raise dead.
• Arrid gains resistance to all types of damage.
• When Arrid casts the spell prismatic wall, each wall will have three copies instead of two.

"A true master is an eternal student - Gaeshma"

It is not everyday that you see anyone capable of punching a balor's head off. The weapons of solars are very powerful. The gods would be hard-pressed to imitate these items without expending a lot of power. Ragani's Burnt Greatsword, Arrid's Golden Tower Shield, and Taciax' Scythe are prime examples. Despite the power of their weapons, there is one solar that refuses to use them, believing that the body is the ultimate weapon and should be honed constantly.

Gaeshema loves combat and fighting powerful beings regardless of their nature. Other solars would avoid Gaeshema, not because they're afraid of him but because the more conscientious solars think of the collateral damage they would cause. Gaeshema believes that defeating the opponent is important, no matter the cost. Despite being chaotic, Gaeshema is a good person but believes that sometimes casualties are unavoidable.

Gaeshema, like most of the solars, has created his own fighting style but unlike most solars, Gaeshema has barely practiced his usage of divine energy. This lack of practice lead to the weakening of some of his natural abilities but in exchange for this, Gaeshema is one of the most powerful close combat fighters in the ranks of the solars.

This has lead to some dangerous situations, while solars are solitary fighters their enemies are not. There are some times where Gaeshema's lack of mastery of his divine powers had put him in a tight spot.

But every time Gaeshema escaped one, he would strive to improve and improve, making sure not to get caught the next time. Eventually the years of constant improving put the legendary solar in a dilemma. He could not improve anymore. He was stuck at a point where he could no longer learn anything else. His skills have reached the physical perfection any fighter would wish for.

Distraught, Gaeshema travelled the multiverse fighting powerful beings while doing his best to help people, in hope of a breakthrough.

Years passed by and Gaeshema was beginning to lose hope in learning more until one day, a group of people came to meet him. A solar's memory is only equalled by an Aboleth and Illithid's memory, so Gaeshema immediately recognized these people. The group was a conglomeration of people he has saved from different places all over the multiverse. How they found him or even reached him is a mystery but Gaeshema was temporarily distracted from his plight and decided to see what would happen.

This group of people wanted to express their thanks to their savior and convey their complete awe and reverence before Gaeshema's martial prowess. Gaeshema received the praise humbly but he wanted to continue his journey to find something that can help him improve.

Before Gaeshema could leave, the leader of the group asked for his attention. Gaeshema stopped and turned around to see what the person wanted.

In perfect sync, the whole group bows and asks Gaeshema to teach and guide them.

Surprised, Gaeshema was about to reject them but an epiphany struck him.

If he were to teach them, it might help him improve. Gaeshema agreed. It was at this day the monastic tradition of the Divine Fist was developed. Throughout the years Gaeshema almost forgot his reason for teaching. He instilled into his students the basic tenants of the Divine Fist:

• To protect the innocent
• To vanquish evil, wherever it might be
• To improve oneself and to never stop improving

Gaeshema found himself at peace. One day while remembering the past, Gaeshema started to practice again to see if his skills deteriorated or weakened but to his surprise, Gaeshema started to see differences in his moves and his students. In his years of constant teaching, he saw thousands of variations of his skills and moves. After reviewing them and studying them, Gaeshema started to train once more. Slowly but surely Gaeshema saw improvement. He started to train more intensely rivaling his first days of training.

Despite being a Solar, Gaeshema's ultimate goal is to be the strongest he can possibly be and fighting for good is only a path towards that goal. He adamantly refuses the invitation of any god believing that once he pledges his power under a deity, he will have more restrictions and less time to improve himself. His divine powers have weakened considerably but he can still use them. If it comes to personal combat, only the strongest solars and bravest fiends can come close to defeating Gaeshema. He does not use the legendary weapons that all solars have with them. Instead Gaeshema uses his God Fists, a pair of legendary gloves forged by his fights with powerful beings all over the multiverse.

Gaeshema is the leader of the Divine Fist temple, a collection of powerful monks that fight with their bodies while being boosted by divine energy gifted to them by Gaeshema.

Gaeshema appears very humble and simple when traveling around the multiverse. While traveling, he sometimes find worthy individuals and he challenges them to fights in his mortal form and if they are skilled, he invites them to his temple. He only enters his true form when a worthy and powerful opponent shows itself. He wears an unbreakable robe suited for battle while his wings are transformed into armguards that hook themselves to his arms from his back.

Gaeshema's Field of Judgement

Gaeshema's requirements are very simple. Because of his lack of control over his divine power, his field is very unstable compared to the other solars. The first requirement is that he must be fighting a powerful and evil opponent. The second requirement is that this being is capable of defeating him. If Gaeshema has fulfilled the requirements and activates his field, a 1000 mile radius area would be filled by his raw divine energy along with his ki. The field will stay for 100 years before it dissipates. Gaeshema's CR increases to 30 (155,000 XP) inside his field.

Once in his field Gaeshema gains the following bonuses:

• Gaeshema's speed cannot be reduced by any means.
• When moving out of an enemy's range, Gaeshema never provokes an oppurtunity attack.
• Instead of reacting once per round, Gaeshema can react 5 times.
• Gaeshema's deflect missile trait's damage reduction is changed to 94 (4d10 + 72).

"The bow is the court, the victim the string, the target the guilty and the arrow is the judge - Velik"

Despite a solar's innate nature of being good, their definition of good sometimes become skewed. A mortal's understanding is not the same as the understanding of an eternal being. To see the multiverse change infinitely is sometimes maddening but not for those who have purpose. While a mortal would fret over the death of a singular entity, an eternal would not. Velik is a prime example of this attitude. He would never move his hands if a single mortal was being threatened, something Arrid takes displeasure in, but will gladly charge in first if an event risking the balance is worth his attention.

This is not to say that Velik turns a blind eye towards minor transgressions of evil acts. Should Velik be in the vicinity of an evil act, whether it be minor or major, he would proceed to judge the aggressor or in some cases the victim. The only time he would ignore a minor evil act is if he is not near the vicinity and if something major occurred and he needs to react immediately.

Just like every solar, Velik himself is a judge. He judges everyone fairly with his legendary bow and unerring accuracy. Velik also incurs the anger of multiple enemies purely because of his attitude. His cold and unresponsive demeanor has made him the loner of the solar family but Arrid tries his best to socialize with Velik even if it irritates him.

Velik has no grey area. All solars used to have no grey areas but as time passed some of them understood that not all evil actions are worth a heavy hand and only needed proper guidance while some good actions are worth punishing. Arrid is the biggest practitioner of this attitude making him and Velik be on not so good terms. Ironically if these two solars were to partner up, almost no one would be capable of defeating these two unstoppable celestials.

Truth to be told, Velik lacks a grey area because of his lack of experience. Even though gifted with immortality that dragons would kill for, Velik refused to interact with the multiverse believing that honing his skills to be able to protect is more important. Eventually this caused Velik to have a closed view, believing that bad is bad and good is good.

Maybe it is because of this reason that Velik hates Arrid. Arrid, his pure opposite in social skills and combat skills. Or maybe it is because Arrid is housing a demon lord. Even though Velik will still keep a civil attitude with him, Arrid has spawned something inside Velik that solar's are not supposed to have: Hate.

Velik loves cake. The only thing he probably would call his favourite past time other than honing his skills and divine power is eating different types of cakes. This is why he tolerates the presence of Namar, a fellow Solar.

He continuously hunts extremely powerful and evil enemies that can threaten the balance of the multiverse: Liches, Aboleths, Illithid nests, and even ancient dragons. Should he find any of their locations which is currently active, Velik will immediately hunt them down and destroy them.

The only reason why there is still evil in the multiverse is because Velik cannot be everywhere. But if he could, he would.

His last known appearance was said to be in the material plane hunting down a legendary rogue who is in the possession of a legendary artifact called the "Book of Names".

Despite being a Solar Velik's appearance inspires fear. His wings are pure white that envelopes people with a shadow that reveals their sins. He wears a magical robe covering his body along with a hood covering his face. His wings have the unique ability of predicting attacks targeted towards him. Velik is quite a loner something Arrid both dislikes and pities. Despite this Velik constantly visits Namar to eat cake with and sometimes Ragani visits him for guidance in archery since both are expert practitioners.

Velik's Field of Judgement

Velik's field of judgement has multiple abilities on its own. It only serves to enhance Velik's already impressive power. His requirements are not as strict as the other solars but not as lenient as Gaeshema's field. His requirements need him to know an opponents information before he can set his field. The information must be the opponent's name, alignment, type, and basic abilities. His second requirement is that the target should be a great evil capable of massive damage. Once the requirements are met Velik can set his field increasing his power. A 1000 mile radius area would be filled with his divine energy influencing the people living there for 100 years. Velik's CR increases to 31 (175,000 XP) inside his field.

Once in his field Velik gains the following bonuses:

• Velik does not suffer disadvantage outside of his normal range.
• Velik can see his target inside his field, no matter what. If someone tries to hide from him within his field with divination magic or illusion magic, they must succeed on a DC 27 Wisdom saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) psychic damage and the spell is dispelled on a failed save, or half as much damage and the spell is successful on a successful one.
• Velik can use his bonus action to teleport to a creature or object he can see that he hit with Heaven's Sniper. If the arrow is embedded on a creature he teleports 10 feet away from the arrow.

"It is not death that a mortal should fear, but they should fear never beginning to live. - Taciax"

Taciax, the legendary angel of death, is a solar pledged to a god or goddess of death. Nobody knows who the deity Taciax pledged his power to. Taciax has many titles, the Black Crow, the Infinite Void, Death, and many more but in truth he is a solar that believes in the sanctity and balance of life and death.

He believes that no one should go past their supposed time, and that undead, especially powerful liches, are an insult to the natural balance. Despite being a Solar, Taciax leans into the neutral spectrum of alignments but this does not mean he will turn a blind eye towards evil because no matter what, a solar is always bound to do good.

His god is said to keep herself or himself secret. His deity might be the Raven Queen, or the fair yet cold Kelemvor. Whomever his deity is, Taciax faithfully serves them as long as his wish of keeping the multiverse in balance through death is fulfilled.

It is said that, Taciax can see undead once they are unborn. Once someone becomes undead, Taciax sees them for all they are. He sees them and pities their very existence.

Taciax follows the commands and orders of his deity but will act on his own if no orders are given. There is one target that Taciax has been spending quite a time trying to kill. And despite hunting him, the legendary solar has yet to lay a finger on his target.

His target is a lich king, a lich that can rival the strongest and skilled warriors while easily defeating the most skilled mages and talented sorcerers.

Ironically, the lich is alive not because the solar cannot defeat it in combat, but because the lich is not evil and the death of it would cause massive grief and damage everywhere.

The surprisingly honest nature and endearing attitude of the all-powerful lich has captured Taciax. The Lich's name was Ounzair, an immortal that was equally talented in fighting and spellcasting.

Taciax and Ounzair have become very close friends, something that surprised many of the solars, especially Taciax. Other than keeping Ounzair in check, Taciax visits other places of evil to do maintenance. An example would be the Temple of Evil and the Temple of Nerul.

All solars can channel divine energy through their weapons and attacks. Taciax is no exception. He can easily use his divine powers but the time in close proximity to his deity and the undead, especially Ounzair, gave Taciax new understanding of the powers he wishes to destroy.

Taciax's appearance inspires fear but also peace. His black robe accompanied by his pure white wings, the unmistakable solar heritage, is a sign of reprieve for the mourning for they know that their loved ones are cared for by the good. Solar's have preferred weapons and Taciax favors the scythe, just like most deities of death. His legendary scythe cleaves through legions of undead and even when the time calls for it, he points it towards evil mortals that deserve the sweet release of death.

Taciax's Field of judgement

Taciax's field of judgement is a place of terror and hopelessness for his enemies, moments before death takes them. Taciax is an archsolar, a solar that stands above the other solars. Once Taciax activates his field, enters a more terrifying form. Taciax's ability to transform is the result of him reaching a height of power that his other siblings have yet to achieve. This earns him the title of archsolar.

Once Taciax activates his field, a 1000 mile radius becomes night and every undead will start to burn whether they hide or live on the surface. The nights become 3 hours longer and people live longer and healthier lives for 100 years.

Due to the extremely powerful nature of Taciax's powers instead of gaining bonuses when he is in the field, Taciax instead gets a different statblock.

Variant: Mythic Taciax

If you believe that Taciax is lacking in power, you can use his mythic variant which adds a new layer of power unto his base kit.

Silent Whisper (Mythic Trait: Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Taciax is reduced to 0 hit points, he doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, he regains 450 hit points.

Mythic Actions

If Taciax's mythic trait is active, he can use the options below as legendary actions for 1 hour after using Silent Whisper.

---

Claws of Death (Costs 2 Actions). Dozens of metal claws made out of small scythes appear out of the ground on a point of Taciax's choosing within 60 feet of him that he can see. Each creature in a 20-foot radius Sphere centered on that point must make a DC 27 Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed save, a creature is restrained and takes 22 (4d10) slashing damage. On a successful one, a creature takes no damage. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of their turn, ending the effect on a success. The metal claw has 18 AC, 50 hit points, immunity to necrotic, poison, and psychic damage.

Rake (Costs 3 Actions). Taciax summons giant scythes to rake a 30-foot cone in front of him. Each creature in that cone must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the creature takes 33 (6d10) slashing damage and is dragged 20 feet towards Taciax. On a successful save, a creature takes no damage.

Succumb (Costs 4 Actions). Taciax lets out an aura of fatigue around 30 feet of him. Each creature in that aura must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 26 (4d12) necrotic damage and gain 1 level of exhaustion. On a successful one, a creature takes no damage.

Death's Eye. Taciax is able to sense the presence of every being in his field, no matter how powerful or weak. Nothing short of a wish can block this ability.

Death's Step. When Taciax uses the spell greater invisibility, he can immediately teleport within 10 feet of a creature he can see within 300 feet range of him as part of the spell.

Death's Wings. Taciax's wings constantly shoot freezing death out of them. At the start of his turn every creature in a 100-foot radius, 200-foot high cylinder around him must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Divine Awareness. Taciax knows if he hears a lie.

Innate Spellcasting. Taciax's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 28). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: detect evil and good, dispel (7th level), gentle repose (permanent), greater invisibility (self only), true resurrection

3/day each: divine word (all hp thresholds are increased by 80 hp), geas (9th level), circle of death (9th level) plane shift

1/day each: power word kill (hp threshold is increased to 300), forcecage, imprisonment, wish (he cannot use this spell to heal himself)

Legendary Resistance (5/Day). If Taciax fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Limited Magic Immunity. Taciax is immune to spells of 6th level or lower unless he wishes to be affected. He has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects.

Master of Life and Death. Taciax can cast True Resurrection at will. He can revive any creature no matter what. He can cure them of madness, any illness, fix any problem and heal them in any way possible. He has no limits when it comes to reviving or fixing a deceased creature.

Solar Sight. Taciax gains a +5 bonus to his Perception skill.

True Weapons of the Reaper. Taciax's weapon attacks are magical. When Taciax uses any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 13d8 necrotic damage(included in the attack). This ignores resistance and treats immunity as resistance. This ignores absorption.

Actions

Multiattack. Taciax makes two attacks with his Death Scythe and can cast greater invisibility.

Death Scythe. Melee Weapon Attack: +23 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit 35 (4d10 + 13) slashing damage plus 58 (13d8) necrotic damage.

Death's Call. Taciax beckons to the souls of his enemies, forcefully ripping it from their bodies. Every creature that can hear, see or is aware of Taciax must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution, taking 72 (16d8) necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save the creature also cannot regain hit points until the effect is removed by a greater restoration spell or similar magic.

Death's Finger of Disintegration (Recharge 5-6). Taciax fires a beam of death and destruction towards one creature, within 300 feet of him. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw, taking 205 (30d8 + 70) necrotic or force damage (Taciax's choice) on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This ability ignores resistances, immunities and absorptions. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated. If any creature is killed by this ability, it rises at the start of Taciax's next turn as a Ghostly Reaper that is permanently under his command. A Ghostly Reaper is an exact copy of the target and is equipped with and attuned to all of its remaining equipment and has all its Statistics except that it counts as a celestial, has no will on its own and obeys only Taciax. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

Healing Touch (5/Day). Taciax touches another creature. The target magically regains 100 (20d8 + 10) hit points and is freed from any curse, disease, poison, blindness, or deafness.

Legendary Actions

Taciax can take 5 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Taciax regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Death's Step. Taciax magically teleports, along with any equipment he is wearing or carrying, up to 300 feet to an unoccupied space he can see and can immediately do a Death Scythe attack.

Death's Sweep (Costs 2 Actions). Taciax makes a Death Scythe attack towards every enemy in his reach.

Death's Dance (Costs 3 Actions). Taciax uses his Death's Step followed by his Death's Call.

Siphon (Costs 5 Actions). Taciax raises his hand and absorbs the life force of his enemies in a 100-foot radius around him. Every creature in the area must succeed on a DC 28 Wisdom saving throw or get its maximum hit points reduced by 81 (18d8) on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If a creature's hit point maximum is reduced to 0 by this effect, the creature dies. A creature's hit point maximum can be restored with a greater restoration spell or similar magic. Taciax regains hit points equal to the hit points lost.
