Solars are puissant champions of good. Only the most powerful [[SRD:Fiend|fiends]] approach their power.

Even more fearsome than their ''+5 [[SRD:Dancing|dancing]] [[SRD:Greatsword|greatsword]]'' are their ''+2 [[SRD:Composite Longbow|composite longbow]]'' that create any sort of ''[[SRD:Slaying Arrow|slaying arrow]]'' when drawn.

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