Special Abilities

Perfect Memory (Ex) Though they are not particularly intelligent, cassisians have perfect memories and remember everything they see or hear. They can faultlessly recite conversations they heard hundreds of years before. They also have the power to erase portions of their own memories, which they do (usually under orders from superior angels) to protect sensitive information. This ability functions as the mental archive cognition talent, but with no limits to the number of memories that can be stored.

Lesser Protective Aura (Su) A cassisian has a lesser form of the protective aura possessed by more powerful angels. Against attacks made or effects created by creatures of an alignment directly opposed to the angel, this ability provides a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws to the cassisian and one additional creature within 5 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as the divine pressure and stricture consecrate effects (caster level equals angel’s Hit Dice). The angel may change the effects applied by these consecrations or renew them as a standard action. A cassisian’s protective aura is fragile, and as soon as an evil creature successfully strikes the cassisian, or as soon as the cassisian fails a saving throw against an evil source, its protective aura fades away and is no longer applicable. The cassisian can reactivate its protective aura by spending 1 minute concentrating upon the task.

Cassisians are the weakest sort of angel, but are absolutely dedicated to the cause of good. They serve as messengers for more powerful angels, and on the Material Plane they are often bound to good mortals to serve as familiars, acting as spiritual guides, reciting platitudes and quoting scripture from various benign faiths and philosophies (some forgotten for centuries).
