This iridescent white skin bathes you in a shimmering golden halo when activated.

When activated, a skin of celestial embrace grants you the following abilities for 15 rounds (if you already have any of these abilities, use your own values if higher):

  • +4 bonus on Fortitude saves against poison.
  • Damage reduction 10/magic.
  • Darkvision 60 feet.
  • Feathered wings that allow you to fly at twice your base land speed with good maneuverability.
  • Immunity to disease.
  • Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and electricity 10.
  • Smite Evil (Su): Once during the skin’s duration, you can attempt a normal melee attack to deal an extra 15 points of damage against an evil foe. If you accidentally smite a creature that is not evil, or if your smite attack misses, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day.
  • Spell resistance 25.

A skin of celestial embrace functions once per day. At the end of its duration, it falls dormant until the following dawn.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, holy transformation (SC 116) or planar embrace (CP 94).
