Typical Stats

ST:	25 (KYOS: 20)	HP:	25 (KYOS: 20)	Speed:	6.5
DX:	13	Will:	16	Move:	8
IQ:	13	Per:	13
HT:	13	FP:	13	SM:	+2
Dodge:	10	Parry:	13	DR:	3* (tough skin), 4 (medium segmented plate; torso); 20 (vs. electricity)

    SM+2 Thrusting Broadsword swing (18): swing 5d+2 cutting, Reach 2-3.
    SM+2 Thrusting Broadsword thrust (18): thrust 4d impaling (KYOS: 6d-1 impaling), Reach 2-3.
    Punch (15): thrust 3d-1 crushing (KYOS: 3d+2 crushing), Reach C-1.
    Aura of Menace: An archon can activate this ability to cause all creatures within 10 yards of him to make a Fright Check. The archon can exclude any beings from the area of effect. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the archon’s Aura of Menace for one hour. Use Awe check table from GURPS Powers, page 85, if possible.
    Detect Evil (13): By taking a Concentrate maneuver and rolling against Per modified by range penalties, the archon can sense evil auras of unholy creatures (such as fiends and clerics of evil deities) and unholy items. On a success, the archon learns the direction to the nearest significant evil aura.
    Tongues: Aside from the languages the archon knows, it has one slot that it can fill with any spoken language that is not “secret” or “lost” at the Native comprehension level by taking a Ready maneuver.
    Penitentiary Gaze: The throne archon can focus its glowing blue eyes on any non-lawful non-holy creature no more than once per 5 seconds. When it does so, if that creature can see the archon, it must roll a Fright Check at a -5 penalty, as it is assailed by visions of remorse over the distance their life’s actions had taken them from the ideals of law or goodness. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, they will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
