Hello all!
I’ve been running a campaign for my friends the past few weeks. The situation is: an angel has fallen to earth near the mega volcano Antaa Potkut. The impact, as well as his presence, threatens to make the dormant volcano active again. He is also driving out the spirits of that domain into the surrounding civilizations.
My players are getting close to a meeting with this Angel. Based on their beliefs, both a dual of wits and fight are probably going to happen… So I thought about burning him up before our session Friday.
I do not own a copy of the old Monster Burner, so I’m trying to brute force this not having burned a monster before. Any and all critiques would be welcomed. My process is really just… all over the place… I have no idea of the ‘right’ way to do this.
For stats, well, he’s a divine being (Angels are pretty much the strongest thing a summoner in my setting can call upon, as there aren’t really minor or major deities). So… I was going to give him either high grey shade or low white shade stats for the most part. I’m hesitant about using white shade abilities, though. So here’s my starting point:
Will G6 Perception G4 Power G4 Forte G4 Agility G6 Speed G6
Health: G6
Steel: G5
Ref: G6
Faith: G4
MW: G10
Short list of Skills so far
Suasion G8
Smiting Fists (Brawling but open ended? or just Brawling) G6
Ugly Truth G5
Command G5
Aura Reading G3
Astrology G3
Angel-Wise G3
Demon-Wise G3

I’m hoping with all this that all I’ll need to do is trim down. Maybe I don’t have enough skills, or the right ones.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
