Hello, one thing that always bothered me about half-celestials in 3.X were the wings. There were tons of interesting outsiders from the good part of the great wheel, but somehow every child of a good outsider and a mortal looked like an angel and could fly like one even if none of the parents had wings. Pathfinder got rid of the explicit mention of wings, but they still all get a fly speed. Here I want to collect fluff descriptions for the children of outsiders that fly without wings and alternate rules for those of non-flying outsiders. For the latter I will assume that the template is normally applied to beings with a 30 ft. speed, so the replacement ability will be around 10 RP. I'm going to start with those in the original Bestiary and will add others as I make them.
Half-Ghaele: The half-ghaele and his equipment start glowing with celestial light while he takes off to fly. (Think of Dr. Manhattan, just with equipment.)
Half-Bralani:While in flight the half-bralani's legs are transformed into a whirlwind of dust, snow, or sand. (Think of Red Tornado just with the appropriate material instead of the redness.)
Half-Hound Archon:
Change Shape (Su): At will, a half-hound archon can assume any canine form of Small or Medium size, as if using beast shape I. For the purposes of this ability, canines include any dog-like or wolf-like creature of the animal type.
Tail: Half-hound archons get a +2 racial bonus to Stealth and Survival skill checks. (I hope my dictionary didn't fail me when naming this trait. :D)
No Half-Lantern Archon. Thinking about how they would procreate with mortals and how the children would look broke my brain.
