"We'll that Arch-Fiend eventually. Even if we have to kill a million enemies each to get to him."
After a life well or ill-spent, mortals ascend or descend to the lower or upper planes. There they are judged and receive their just rewards for their actions in the name of their chosen ideals.
Some continue to work for their ideals after they are dead and work as mortal agents for the causes that they believed in.
Others are given the chance to become more than their original self and are allowed to begin the climb that has a soul rise to become more than it's former mortal self.
Immortals (both Fiendish and Celestial) are created when the souls of two creatures are combined to make a new creature. Stripping away their former mortal bodies and remaking themselves into a form that is will given shape.
Normally this is done by combining a normally intelligent mortal soul and a normally insightful soul. Usually this means that a humanoid of some kind and an animal of some kind have their souls melded together. The animal providing keen perception of existence and the humanoid providing problem-solving abilities.
So here's the deal: Immortals are made of the souls/wathan/spirit/essense/bullshit of two different creatures, one is an animal of some kind (Bear? Sure. Unicorn... okay. Dragon... yeah, but you only look like one. Chaos Beast... Sure, look at dragon) and a Humanoid of some kind (This isn't exclusive to Humanoid-type creatures however. Almost any intelligent creature that could conceivably be an Immortal. So you could be a horse-centaur Immortal they just look.. more horse-like, so maybe a horses muzzle as well...; but it means that you can have an Ogre-Tiger Fiend or an Illithid-Giraffe Celestial).
Note: You just look like the combination that you select, if you want to be this, you'll have to get the feats or class abilities that fit in with it.
Also, I note humanoids as any creature that conceivably is smart enough to use tools. A

- Only Classes: Immortal Champion and Immortal Theurgist [3]
- Automatic Languages: Common, Celestial

[1]:Refers to the original non-humanoid creature, change as appropriate
[2]:Refers to the Appropriate humanoid creature, change as appropriate.
[3]:Immortals may only select the Immortal Champion and Immortal Theurgist classes as they gain levels. There are no exceptions to this, the two classes may be multiclassed freely.
In addition all Immortals have the following abilities:
Immortal Importance(Ex): Immortals are filled with the conviction that they are living embodiments of will. As such they tend to not hurry to achieve their goals. The most powerful Immortals seem to move at a snail's crawl, yet their progress is impossible to halt.
For every hit dice that an Immortal (Celestial or Fiend) has they may subtract 10 feet from their movement.
Every 10 feet so reduced adds +1 to all dice rolls made by that Immortal until the Immortals next round. This includes (but is not exclusive to) Attack rolls, Damage rolls, Saving Throws and Skill Checks.
In additions they gain DR 1/- per 10 feet sacrificed; this DR is added to any and all existing DR the character has.
If 100 feet of movement are sacrificed, then the bonus increases from +1 to +2 per 10 feet sacrificed.
If 200 feet of movement are sacrificed, then the bonus increases from +1 to +3 per 10 feet sacrificed..
No Immortal may subtract so much movement that they cannot move at least 10 feet that round. They do not have to move, but must be able to move a minimum of 10 feet.
