Condition ImmunitiesCharmed, Exhaustion, Frightened

Angelic WeaponsThe deva's weapon attacks are magical. When the deva hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 4d8 radiant damage (included in the attack).

Innate SpellcastingThe deva's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). The deva can innately cast the following spells, requiring only verbal components: At will: detect evil and good 1/day each: commune, raise dead

Magic ResistanceThe deva has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

MultiattackThe deva makes two melee attacks.

MaceMelee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) radiant damage.

Healing TouchThe deva touches another creature. The target magically regains 20 (4d8 + 2) hit points and is freed from any curse, disease, poison, blindness, or deafness.

Change ShapeThe deva magically polymorphs into a humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating equal to or less than its own, or back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (the deva's choice). In a new form, the deva retains its game statistics and ability to speak, but its AC, movement modes, Strength, Dexterity, and special senses are replaced by those of the new form, and it gains any statistics and capabilities (except class features, legendary actions, and lair actions) that the new form has but that it lacks.

How to actually run it

Tactics

The stat block tells you what it can do. This tells you what to do with it.

1Multiattack: The deva makes two melee attacks.

2It casts spells — read its spell list before the fight and hold a Counterspell or a way to break concentration.

3With a 90 ft. flying speed it can stay out of melee reach; a party with no ranged answer will chase it all fight.
