A planetar is nearly 9 feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds.

===Combat===

Despite their vast array of magical [[SRD:Powers|powers]], planetars are likely to wade into melee with their ''+3 [[SRD:Greatsword|greatsword]].'' They particularly enjoy fighting [[SRD:Fiend|fiends]].

A planetar’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].

'''[[SRD:Regeneration|Regeneration]]:''' A planetar takes damage from evil-aligned weapons and from [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] and effects with the evil descriptor.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Continual Flame|continual flame]], [[SRD:Dispel Magic|dispel magic]], [[SRD:Holy Smite|holy smite]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 20), ''[[SRD:Invisibility (Spell)|invisibility]]'' (self only), ''[[SRD:Lesser Restoration|lesser restoration]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 18), ''[[SRD:Remove Curse|remove curse]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19), ''[[SRD:Remove Disease|remove disease]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19), ''[[SRD:Remove Fear|remove fear]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 17), ''[[SRD:Speak with Dead|speak with dead]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 19); 3/day—''[[SRD:Blade Barrier|blade barrier]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 22), ''[[SRD:Flame Strike|flame strike]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 21), <s>''[[SRD:Polymorph (Spell)|polymorph]]'' (self only)</s>, ''[[SRD:Power Word Stun|power word stun]], [[SRD:Raise Dead|raise dead]]'', ''[[SRD:Waves of Fatigue|waves of fatigue]]''; 1/day—''[[SRD:Earthquake|earthquake]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 24), ''[[SRD:Greater Restoration|greater restoration]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 23), ''[[SRD:Mass Charm Monster|mass charm monster]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 24)'', [[SRD:Waves of Exhaustion|waves of exhaustion]]''.

The following abilities are always active on the planetar’s person, as the [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 17th): ''[[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]], [[SRD:Detect Snares and Pits|detect snares and pits]], [[SRD:Discern Lies|discern lies]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 20), ''[[SRD:See Invisibility|see invisibility]]'', and ''[[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]]''. They can be dispelled, but the planetar can reactivate them as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]].

'''[[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|Spells]]:''' Planetars can cast divine [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]] as 17th-level [[SRD:Cleric|clerics]].
