Pseudodemon — Agios, O Theos
You are literally radiant, descended from one of the angels of old. The ancient angels could strike the sinful with fire, blindness, and death simply for the impudence of looking in their direction, and you have a faint echo of that power.
Whenever someone makes a melee attack against you, they must make a will save or be Dazzled for two rounds. The duration does not stack; they make this save only once per round, regardless of how many times you are attacked. At 5th level, you gain Awe and can activate it for two rounds as an immediate action, or a free action on your own turn. At 9th level, you can gain the Damage Reversal ability for one round as an immediate action. Both abilities can be used once per day, plus one more time per day every four levels.

Awe: To see Perfection is to see the Joy which lies beyond the walls of the mortal world. Whenever any creature attempts to attack you or target you with a spell, they must make a will save. Failure cancels their action (but does not consume the action), and they may not target you for 1 round. If they fail three times in a row, they are Dazed for one round and fall to their knees in awe. After a creature succeeds, they may attack you normally for the rest of combat. This ability is always on and can be triggered multiple times in one round (if more than one creature attempts to attack you). Awe does not function against creatures whose effective Terror is more than 3 higher than your own.

Damage Reversal: Those overcome by Evil and led by their failings to strike your holy body find their own blow is turned upon them, and their sin becomes their undoing. You are metaphysically protected from harm. Creatures who attempt to deal damage to you through any means must make a will save. Failure causes them to take the damage you would’ve taken (and negates the damage you would’ve taken). This damage is irresistible and cannot be mitigated or delayed by any means.
