Astral Deva (GAP)

__TOC__
Ah, now here's a topic that'll make a basher feel a little better about exploring the Astral Plane. Seems that these aasimon have taken it upon themselves (for whatever reason) to patrol the Astral on occasion and help out good-aligned travelers who've gotten themselves into trouble.
These kindly, benevolent spirits seek out Clueless who've gotten themselves in trouble wandering into someplace or something that they didn't realize was big trouble. But astral devas occasionally m r v have to help those that should know better as well. Because of their interference in astral affairs, the devas hav e earne d tn e undying hatred of the githyanki. As often as not, it is they whom the devas have to save folks from. How they decide whom to help is unknown. It seems, though, that those individuals working directly for a good power have a better chance of being watched over by a deva while they're on the Astral.
The plane's infinitely big, though, and they can't help everyone.
There's a place called Deva's Rock on the Astral that is just what it sounds like: a floating island used as a case for devas passing through. The devas have a golden castle built upon the island, with a tiny village surrounding it with friendly taverns and safe places to rest. The problem is, the only bloods that find it are the ones that the devas wish to find it. Most of the lucky bashers were brought there by a deva guide convinced of their true need for a haven.
Though a body doesn't need to eat or drink on the Astral, he'll find warm food and good bub on Deva's Rock. It's calm, quiet, and restful all the time — well, most of the time.
Chant is that there've been a few times when the devas have been peeled. Sometimes it's been vengeful githyanki out to destroy the place, while other times it': just mischievous tanar'ri spreading chaos, but occasionally evil bashers fool the devas and get access to the place. Then, it's all-out war on the Rock. The devas have always won, mostly because those attacking didn't have enough information to know what to expect when they got there. Because of these infiltrations, however, the devas grow more peery every day. 
Astral devas possess fair hair, golden skin, and amber eyes. Most astral devas are stunningly handsome (they have a Charisma of 20), stand about seven feet tall, and have large, feathery wings that fan out from their shoulders in a graceful manner. They carry a macelike weapon that provides them with a +3 bonus (3d6 points of damage). For further information, reference the astral deva in the PLANESCAPE MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM* Appendix.
