Taking a stab at creating some of the named Planar Allies mentioned in Inner Sea Gods. Please provide any constructive criticism!
Each of the allies is created for use with the Planar Ally spell; as unique representatives of their kind, each will be advanced to 12 HD and will be equipped with Triple normal NPC wealth for their level. All were made in hero lab and the exported stat block copied into the thread.
First, will start with Desna (since we are playing in RotRL right now and our cleric is now level enough to use the Planar Ally spell).
Desna
This fierce avoral has jet-black feathers with white spots on the tips, and his eyes are a bright silver that
becomes dull and opaque when he's hunting or hiding. He is especially proud of his ability to pull out of
a full plummet with only inches to spare. He has an excellent singing voice and often belts out heroic
songs of his own composing mid-battle.

This arrogant djinni once served Gozreh, but joined Desna when he found her attitude more to his liking. He appears as a djinni made of dense white smoke or inky black darkness dotted with bright stars
(alternating between the two at whim). In either form, he has a long black beard, which he keeps meticulously combed. For payment, he prefers jewelry and items that summon air elementals.

Why triple NPC wealth instead of just NPC wealth or PC wealth?
Why triple NPC wealth instead of just NPC wealth or PC wealth?
As "named" planar servants, I used the heralds as a reference for their wealth levels. The heralds, for thsose that use equipment, receive Triple NPC Wealth levels as well. Triple NPC Wealth is a little under half PC Wealth and seemed a good estimation (43K for 12th level).
This is a really helpful and good idea.
