The Celestial Hebdomad All members of the Celestial Hebdomad possess the following special qualities:
Aura of Menace (Su): A righteous aura surrounds the paragon when it fights or gets angry. Any hostile creature within a 20-foot radius of the paragon must make a Will save (DC 10+1/2 the paragon's Hit Dice + its Cha modifier) to resist its effects. Those who fail take a -4 morale penalty on attacks, AC, and saves for one day. If an affected creature makes a succesful hit against the paragon, that creature (only) can attempt a new saving throw. A creature that makes a successful saving throw against the effect cannot be affected again by that paragon's aura for one day.
Indelible Imprint (Su): When one of the Celestial Hebdomad is slain, the dying paragon releases holy energy to brand its murderer for all time. The instant the paragon dies, all creatures within 100 feet who have dealt damage to the paragon within the past day must make a Will save(DC 10+1/2 the paragon's Hit Dice+Cha Modifier). Those that succeed suffer no ill effects. Creatures that fail receive an unsightly rune upon their faces that instantly identifies them to any lawful good outsider as a murderer of a member of the hebdomad. The mark may be removed with a wish or miracle spell.
Magic Circle Against Evil (Su): A magic circle against evil effect always surrounds the paragon, identical with the spell (CL= paragon's HD). The effect can be dispelled, but the paragon can create it again during its next turn as a free action.
Summon Archons (Sp): Twice per day, a member of the Celestial Hebdomad can automatically summon 4d10 lantern archons, 2d4 sword archons, 1d4 trumpet archons, 1d2 Throne archons, or another member of the Hebdomad.
Teleport (Su): As a move action, the paragon can use greater teleport at will (CL 14th), except that the paragon can transport only itself and up to 100 pounds of objects.
Tongues (Su): The Paragon can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongue spell (CL 14th). This ability is always is always active.

Combat Barachiel prefers to use lightning bolts in combat, nut faced with enemies immune to electricity. He turns to his spells and spell-like abilities. He does not hesitate to use his
summon archons ability if he needs help.

Electrify Blade (Su): Any metal weapon Barachiel wields crackles with electrical energy. He normally attacks with a Large longsword but can use any metal weapon in this manner.

When wielded normally, Barachiel's lightning blade overcomes the damage reduction of other creatures as though it were a natural weapon (using Barachiel's damage reduction 15/evil). As a touch attack, the lightning blade can affect any creature that is harmed by magical electricity. The effec can be dispelled, but Barachiel can renew it the next round as a free action.
Lightning Stroke (Su): When holding a metal object (including a lightning blade), Barachiel can project a stroke of lightning toward any foe within 100ft. He must make a raged touch attack to hit the target, dealing 10d6 points of electricity damage with a successful attack.
Spells: Barachiel can cast divine spells as a 20th cleric with the Herald, Good and Law domains.
