However, he usually chose not to defend himself, instead simply taking and absorbing the damage, and his avatar was extremely hard to destroy. He fought unarmed, open-handed or with his fists, and was a supreme martial artist. Only rarely did he cast a spell that injured another, unless he did so in anger and retribution for a cruel or sadistic deed performed by the target, or to protect another from harm. When manifested as an avatar, Ilmater could cast a wide variety of magic spells, and was strongest with healing magic and beneficial necromancy. He had a good if rather rustic sense of humor, and liked to hear funny stories.

Though he knew full well the atrocious and horrific acts that wicked creatures could do, he remained forever hopeful that evil beings could one day be turned to good, or destroyed, and so he stayed firm in his goals. Ilmater was the most forgiving of beings it was thought he could even forgive Loviatar, Maiden of Pain, if she repented of her cruel deeds. He treasured all children and young creatures in general. Although his ravaged appearance or his righteous rage could scare children, Ilmater took great cares to reassure them and protect them. At such times, he set aside his doctrine of endurance and non-violence, and unleashed his full force to put an end to cruelty. He was particularly enraged by those who harmed or abused children and other young creatures. He was greatly angered by extreme cruelty and atrocities, and at those who inflicted such suffering. Ilmater did not anger quickly, but when he did, he was fearsome in his wrath. Ilmater was himself a willing sufferer, taking one's place to bear their burden, seeking to endure any pain if it would lessen the pain of another.
He encouraged his faithful to halt and relieve the suffering of others, and to take it on themselves if they must. He encouraged them to endure their pain, suffering, and abuse, for good things came to those who waited. He sought to offer aid and relief and words of comfort to those in pain, who were oppressed, or otherwise in great need. Ilmater was the incarnation of compassion, and the eternal foe of suffering, a generous, good-spirited, and even-tempered deity, with a kind and gentle nature. No matter how much his avatar healed, it still showed these terrible wounds. Moving caused him a great deal of pain as he dragged himself around.
Ilmater's joints were broken, his limbs were ravaged, and his hands were smashed yet still functional. But this body bore the marks of mutilation and torture on the rack, covered with open cuts, closed scars, burns, and a range of other wounds. In avatar form, Ilmater appeared as a short man with a burly build and wearing only a breechcloth, with a plain but kind and comforting face, balding head, and a hairy body.
