This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Still a WIP pending testing, DM's beware this class will most likely be OP and should be discussed heavily with your players.

Disclaimer[edit]
This Class is meant to be played as two separate characters in one body. Meaning that you have two separate classes/character sheets. The two characters share a body and HP total but are meant to use different abilities depending on if it the angel or the Host in control. Talk to your DM if this is okay as it most likely will be a little OP.

Heaven has called and you have answered. Is this the will of God or is this a fallen angel with a mind of its own?
The Chosen[edit]

Angel's Nature[edit]
At your 3rd level you discover your angel's true purpose, so you must choose what kind of angel you are hosting. You can choose between the Angel of Death or an Angel of Life, both granting you features at the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Astral Projection[edit]
At 5th level, you can use a bonus action to project a shadowy form of your wings onto surfaces at will, causing any creature who looks at you to see you for what you are. The aura extends 5 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. It lasts until you're incapacitated or you dismiss it as a bonus action.
The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. Any other creature that starts its turn in the aura takes psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
Once you use this mantle, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Also at 5th Level, you gain the ability to sense the alignment of angels, demons, and ghosts.
An Angel gets its Wings[edit]
At 6th level, you can use your bonus action to summon black or white wings from your back depending on if you are an angel of Death or Life, respectively. You gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed, lasting until the end of your turn. If you end your turn in the air, you slowly descend to the ground, as if you had been targeted by a feather fall spell.
At 13th level, the flying speed lasts until you choose to dismiss the wings as a bonus action.
Dream Walking[edit]
At 7th level you gain the ability to enter into people's thoughts and dreams. You can hear and see the target of this feature and the target can hear and see you, no matter the distance.

Power Negation[edit]
At 14th Level you learn the Counterspell spell used as a 5th level spell, which you take when you see a creature within 120 feet of you casting a spell, without spending spell slots. You may use this 3 times per short or long rest.

Twice per short or long rest you can take an action to send out a 60 foot long and 5 feet wide blast of holy energy in any direction from you. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The light also blinds any who fail their save for 2 turns.
Chronokinesis[edit]
At 17th level you begin to gain the powers of the archangels. You learn the Time Stop spell and may use it without spending spell slots. You may use this ability once every two days as it takes a huge toll on your hosted body. When used you gain one level of exhaustion after the effects of the spell end.
Molecular Combustion[edit]
At 20th level you are able to render beings, down to their component molecules, causing them to explode.
