=== Honour mode ===
While in [[Honour mode]], Raphael has access to [[legendary action]]s, which let him use two additional abilities:
{{Feature box|name = Beguiling Rebuke| image name = Legendary Action Crowd Control.webp
|* May only be used while in cambion form.
* As a reaction, try to {{cond|Beguiled|Beguile}} an attacker and its nearby allies.
* Creatures charmed in this way cannot attack Raphael.
* Raphael can use this legendary reaction to cast this as many times per round as there are remaining Soul Pillars.
}}
{{Feature box|name=Soul Ascension|image name = Legendary Action Utility.webp
|* May only be used while in {{SAI|Fiendish Ascension}} form
* Create a column of writhing souls that transforms allied [[Vengeful Cambion|Cambions]] into {{cond|Hellfire Cambion}}s and deals {{DamageText|6d10|Necrotic}} to any non-fiend caught inside.
* Cambions ascended by this cascade deal Hellfire damage, which ignores [[Resistance]] and [[Immunity]] to Fire damage.
* Raphael can spend a Legendary Action to immediately cast this when he or his allies are attacked.
