Quesar

Quesars were living constructs of light created by the aasimon.

Description
Some described quesars as stars brought to the ground. These gaunt humanoids shined with an intense light that would blind most creatures and extend for about 40 feet (12 meters) from their bodies. Behind the radiant glow, a quesar had blue skin and white hair that stood upright from its noble head. They stood about six feet (183 centimeters) tall and weighed 160 pounds (73 kilograms).

Abilities
The power of a quesar was in its holy light. A quesar could increase the brilliance of its glow with ever-stronger effects. It could always increase the intensity of its energy halo to the point of blinding and illuminating a radius of some 80 yards (70 meters). About every four hours or so, it could increase this intensity further to become as intense as a sunburst spell, damaging most bystanders.

In addition, three times a day, it could release an instantaneous burst of energy so intense that it would disintegrate most life.

Quesars had both darkvision and low-light vision. They moved on their two powerful legs at about twice the speed of a typical human.

Quesars were immune to electricity and fire and resistant to magical spells. They were more easily harmed by adamantine weapons than by other metals.

Quesars spoke the Celestial language.

Combat
Quesars never used weapons; they did not need to, for the power of their radiance was effective enough against nearly any enemy. They also could pound foes with their fists, which discharged radiant energy with each blow.

Society
The home plane of the quesars was Elysium. There, they lived independent of the rule of other beings, yet they often supported celestials in the fight against evil.

A few rare quesars offered their services to the higher powers. For example, quesars sometimes acted on behalf of the dwarven goddess Haela Brightaxe.

Quesar could be summoned by the most powerful of good spellcasters.

Ecology
As a construct, a quesar did not need to eat, sleep, or breathe and was immune to a large number of harmful effects that would cripple most other types of lifeforms. The positive energy of healing magic did not work on quesars, but their bodies repaired themselves as long as they were in bright light equivalent to that of daylight.

History
Quesars were a form of artificial life constructed by angels to serve as guardians over magical treasures, but they gave them minds and free will, and the quesars rebelled against their creators, desiring to live free.
