# Eladrin, Shiradi >[!rimg]+ > ![[Placeholder2.png]] *Standing 11 feet tall, this heavily muscled, statuesque figure has gleaming bronze skin, wild black hair that seemingly moves of its own accord, pointed ears with serrated lobes, and piercing black eyes. Its features are bold and striking, and its twin bronze wings shine brightly even in faint light. In its hands, it clutches a great spiked chain.* <div class="grid-container"><div class="MON">Shiradi</div> <div class="CR">CR 14 (38,400 XP)</div> <div class="SOU">Book of Exalted Deeds pg. 171</div> <div class="SYS">Dungeons & Dragons 3.5</div></div> CG Large Outsider (chaotic, eladrin, good) **Init** +3 **Senses** blessed sight, enchantment sight, see invisibility; **Perception** +3 **Aura** protective aura (20 ft.) #### defense **AC** 26, 12 touch, 23 flat-footed (+3 Dex, +14 natural, -1 size) **hp** 120 (12d10+60) **Fort** +9, **Refl** +11, **Will** +11; +4 vs. poison **Feint** 28, **Demoralize** 25 **DR** 10/cold iron or evil; **SR** 25 **immune** electricity, petrification; **Resist** cold 10, fire 10 #### offense **Speed** 40 ft., fly 90 ft.

This ability functions like _enchantment sight_. ### Lightshard Form (Su) A shiradi can shift between its humanoid and cloud of lightshards form as a standard action. In humanoid form, it cannot use its slam attack, and in cloud form it cannot use weapons. ### Lightshard Strike (Su) A shiradi that assumes the form of a cloud of lightshards can slam an opponent for 2d6 points of damage. This attack deals full damage to incorporeal creatures. Creatures hit by a shiradi's lightshard strike are dispelled as if by greater dispel magic (caster level 12th). ### Protective Aura (Su) Shiradi are surrounded by a nimbus of light with a radius of 20 feet. This acts as a double-strength magic circle against evil and as a lesser globe of invulnerability. #### ecology **Terrain** Olympian Glades of Arborea **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** No coins; double goods; standard items **Advancement** 13–18 HD (Large); 19–36 HD (Huge) Shiradis battle for freedom across the planes, helping the oppressed, deceived, and less fortunate wherever they travel. They are in some ways the most morally flexible of all celestials, believing that all creatures are free to act as they see fit as long as their actions do not in turn impinge on the freedoms of others. Although they often act on impulse, shiradis fight tirelessly on the side of good, seeking out those conflicts and areas where good creatures cannot act or think freely. A shiradi exhibits none of the elflike frailty of other eladrins. In addition to its statuesque humanoid form, it can take the form of a swirling cloud of golden, triangular shards of light. Shiradis stand approximately 11 feet tall and weigh 400 pounds. ### Combat Shiradi eladrins do not lightly engage in combat, but when moved to strike against injustice, they attack with unflinching courage and devotion. In the first few rounds of combat, shiradis try to keep their foes within the usually superior reach of their mighty spiked chains while casting beneficial spells such as divine favor and bless weapon. In this manner, they try to take advantage of their reach and multiple attacks of opportunity. Their creative and individualistic nature makes shiradis inventive tacticians, and they use their abilities to surprise foes whenever possible. Any weapons a shiradi eladrin wields are treated as having the chaotic and good alignments for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
