Offense
1d3 weapons (1d6 each)
Circumstance: Combat
1d3 weapons (1d6 each)
Special
Invisibility
Surprises on 1-4 on 1d6. Combatants unable to see it suffer the usual penalty for attacking an invisible opponent.
Special
Strong and Fast
Can carry up to 1,000 pounds while moving at full speed.
Special
Grab
A creature can be grabbed by means of a normal attack roll. Once grabbed, only a very strong victim (18 Strength, or 4 or more hit dice) has any chance of escape; such a victim has a base 25% chance to escape, with a 10% bonus to their chance, per additional hit die in excess of 4. Creatures weighing more than 1,000 pounds can be grabbed but cannot be moved, and after a few rounds the aerial servant will give up. Note that a normal hit by an aerial servant is a grab, so that the victim, once grabbed, will suffer damage automatically each round thereafter.
Special
Rage
If an aerial servant cannot perform its assigned task for any reason, it will fly into a rage, seeking out and attacking the summoner. This is normally the only way an aerial servant can be made to attack.
Special
Tracking
Can locate and track target creatures in much the same way as an invisible stalker.
Environments
planar
An invisible extra-dimensional creature summoned to acquire and transport objects or creatures
An aerial servant is similar to an invisible stalker in that it is a normally-invisible creature summoned by magic from an extra-dimensional realm. The aerial servant, however, cannot be ordered or compelled to attack in the normal sense. Rather, it is generally used to acquire and transport objects or creatures. An aerial servant can locate and track target creatures in much the same way as an invisible stalker. Because it is invisible and fairly quiet, it surprises on 1-4 on 1d6, and combatants who are unable to see it suffer the usual penalty for attacking an invisible opponent.

An invisible extra-dimensional creature summoned to acquire and transport objects or creatures
Aerial servants are creatures from the Elemental Plane of Air. They may be encountered on the æthereal or astral planes (and are visible there), but are more typically met when conjured by a clerical spell aerial servant. On the Prime Material Plane, aerial servants are invisible.
These creatures may carry approximately 1,000 lbs in weight at full movement speed, and are immensely strong.
If the aerial servant is prevented from carrying out its mission, it will go mad and return to attack the cleric who summoned it.
