New Monsters: Cherubim & Cupids
To go along with the potentially-romantic mood-lighting set by today’s earlier preview, the new moonlight spell, we’ve got a bonus extra preview for today! Cherubim are angels with a low challenge rating, allowing them to feature in campaigns earlier than other angels such as deva or planetar would be able to. They can also be summoned by high-level clerics using the conjure celestial spell, giving them the new and flavorful option of calling upon their god’s own divine messengers for direct aid. And of course, there are the variant cherubim known as cupids, who are perfect for any holiday-themed adventures during this month of February! Cupids join the ranks of medusas, lamias, and pegasus(es) in the “mythological proper names used as the generic term for an entire kind of D&D creature” club.
