• Celestial Step. The Cervinal moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
• Radiant Presence (Costs 2 Actions). The Cervinal emits a radiant aura. All creatures within 10 feet of the Cervinal gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened and are immune to the effects of Celestial Roar for 1 minute.

Beneath a crown of antlers, this centaurlike creature blends the upper body of a humanoid with the lower body of a majestic elk.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Gallop (Ex)

When a cervinal uses a full-round action to run, it can move up to six times its speed.

Stagger (Ex)

Any creature that takes damage from a cervinal’s powerful charge attack must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or be staggered for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Nirvana)
Organization solitary, collective (2–3), or herd (4–6)
Treasure double (+3 composite longbow, other treasure)

Cervinals stand proud and regal at the head of Nirvana’s agathion forces. Sometimes termed the “knights” of the agathions, cervinals have gained a reputation for their battle prowess, noble natures, and admirable wisdom, as well as their fearlessness and willingness to lead from the front.

They stand almost 11 feet tall, though part of that height is their magnificent racks of antlers, which can measure up to 4 feet across. These antlers gleam as if forged from beaten bronze, and a fine fuzz of downy gold covers their entire bodies, particularly along the shoulders and neck.

Cervinals from the more frigid regions of Nirvana sport an entire coat of chestnut fur up their chests and shoulders.

In the good-aligned planes, they most often serve as generals in battles against fiends, but they also develop strategies to combat everyday evil in the multiverse, secure evil artifacts, and coordinate efforts between agathions and other celestial races.
