The Path to Godhood

This guide can help you decide what role that your deities can play in your campaign, from their philosophies and oaths, to their Attacks and Armor Class.

Part 1: Roleplaying Divinity is a set of guidelines and recommendations for how a DM or Player could go about playing as or embodying a creature of divine power.

Part 2: The Task of Ascension describes the process of divine ascension — the means by which a mortal player character can become a deity (if you choose to allow this option in your campaign). Firstly through becoming an outsider, and then undergoing the divine transformation.

Part 3: The Forms of Divinity delves into the rules that help quantify deities. It introduces the concept of divine rank as a measure of godly power, and spells out what a deity of a certain rank can do — in the same terms as any other character class's abilities are defined - as well as congregations that separate deities into specific categories.

Part 4: The Reign of Divinity defines portfolios, domains, and details all the domains mentioned in this guide, including new domains that do not appear in the Player’s Handbook - as well as listing domains already available.

Part 5: Divine Races extrapolates upon forms of divine races, such as a few new outsider races, and the Demigod Race Template.

Part 6: Divine Power describes additional epic boons, as well as epic maneuvers available to mortals and divine alike. It also lists divine feats available only to deities, each of which can have specific requirements, or prerequisites to attain or use. This section also addresses godly forms of madness - known as Divine Rampancy.

Part 7: Divine Objects items and equipment used to ascend to godhood, were once touched by ascended or powerful beings, and items used by the hands of Gods themselves.

The Nature of Divinity

This section will help you make decisions when designing a pantheon for your campaign. The material here is about flavor, feel, and the impact of such decisions on your game. Numerous campaign and adventure ideas illustrate how your decisions can focus a campaign or provide gripping adventures.

Each part of this section contains notes for applying the decisions to monotheistic, dualistic, animistic, and other systems if the applications differ from polytheism. If a choice affects clerics and paladins, the consequences of the choice are mentioned. Consult the "Gods of your World" section of the DM's Handbook for a basic rundown on pantheon and religious belief systems in tangent with these guidelines.

Your decisions affect players and their characters. Be very clear with your players from the beginning about the impact of your decisions. Depending on your style as a DM, you may want to discuss these topics with your players as you develop your pantheon. If your players would like their characters to have the opportunity to become gods, you need to plan for that. If you place a barrier between the gods and mortals, doing so may affect spells that invoke other planes, and anyone playing a spellcaster will want to know.

Innate Divinity

Divinity, the divine spark that makes gods able to perform their roles, may be innate to the gods. The Olympian gods, descended from the Titans, were born with their divine status. In this case, mortals such as your player characters cannot earn divinity (though you may decide that deities can impart divine status to mortals). Rarely are such gods born during recorded history. They generally predate the intelligent races, and may have created those races. With this option, you set the number and identity of the gods at the beginning of the game, and these quantities generally remain static. If your campaign will never focus on player characters ascending to godhood or on divine events, this decision on the nature of divinity may be your best choice.

The choice of polytheism, monotheism, or dualism is independent of this choice. In animistic systems, assuming the spirits are “born” with their divine spark is best. There are a lot of spirits, and new ones come into existence all the time. Still, it’s possible to design an animist system in which the spirits were all mortals who somehow acquired divinity.

Adventure Idea: Descended from a previous generation of deities, the gods defeated their ancestors and re-created the universe according to their own ideas. They imprisoned their ancestors in various places on various planes. Player characters, in the course of their adventures, discover clues to the existence of the primordial gods and eventually face the decision of whether to free them or not.

Earned Divinity

In this case, divinity can be achieved independent of any act by the existing gods. A mortal who fulfills requirements that you define automatically becomes a god - such as the Task of Ascension in Part 2 of this pdf.

Such requirements should vary, so that no one class dominates the pantheon. Perhaps anyone who travels to a far corner of an Outer Plane can drink three times from a mystic well, making increasingly difficult Will saves before each drink, and earn divinity. New deities appear throughout recorded history. The requirements for becoming a god are most likely known to the highest clerics of each religion, and they may be known throughout your world, or the existing gods may keep them secret.

Stolen Divinity

Divine rank may have a more physical existence, either on the Material Plane or only on the Outer Planes. If so, an enterprising mortal can steal it and simultaneously become a god while dethroning another. Of course, all the gods jealously guard their “divine tokens,” protecting them with fearsome traps and mighty beings— some enhanced with the gods’ own power, such as titans or angels.

Some points to consider if you choose this option are how the gods feel about new gods with stolen divinity and about the fallen gods, and what happens to those fallen gods. Perhaps they drop to the ranks of household or local gods. As with earned divinity, there may be rivalry or outright war between new gods and old. You need to decide whether gods steal from each other, and if so, what power they gain. If they do not steal from each other, you should have a good reason why not - perhaps it disrupts the natural balance. Decide how widely known the process of becoming a god is. If everyone knows, make sure to tell your players. Or, the gods may be the only ones who know. Alternatively, you may decide that only gods can perceive and physically handle divine sparks, so gods can steal them but mortals cannot. Mortals could still become gods through earning such status, or through the gods imparting or surrendering it.

When combining monotheism and the concept of stolen divinity, you have to establish from whom the one god stole divinity. Initially the idea may seem self-contradictory, but the right mythology can make it work. For instance, the one god might be the only one left after all the other gods had their divinity stolen (in which case you must decide where the stolen divinity went). Alternatively, the one god might have stolen divinity from all the previous gods.

In a dualistic system, the gods may have cooperated to steal from a previous god or gods, or one may have stolen from the other. The latter situation creates a dynamic opposition that makes a compelling dualistic system. Avoid the predictable idea of the evil god stealing from the good one; the reverse could prove more interesting. Of course, it’s yet more remarkable and fantastic if the two gods are differentiated by something other than good and evil.

An animistic system could have mortals steal divinity from the gods only to be transformed and split into tiny pieces by the divine power, thus becoming the spirits revered in the campaign. Alternatively, you could have a mythology in which representatives from the animal and plant kingdoms aided the mortals, and they all became spirits. Such talking animals and mobile talking plants are common in world mythologies. In all cases, you must detail the source of the “original theft.” There has to be something to steal from, all the way back to the beginning of the universe.

A crime such as theft implies secret or hidden knowledge. Any time you have a change in the pantheon, you have the potential for secret or hidden knowledge. For instance, the thieves might want to destroy any record of previous gods, or of their own previous identities. This “active hiding” means that anyone who discovers “heretical” information is at risk of retribution through divine or mortal actions.

Clerics and paladins of deities who stole their way to divine status face some of the same challenges as they do with deities who earned their divine status. Their gods were once nondivine characters. Their faiths do not include concepts such as the infallibility, omniscience, or omnipotence of their patron deities.

Adventure Idea: The patron deity of one or more of the player characters becomes mortal after someone steals her very divine nature from her. Adventurers are among her significant worshipers, so she contacts the player characters and begs them to return her divine spark. The usurper now lives in her divine realm, of course, so player characters know where to find him, and presumably also the divine spark. Player characters must successfully steal back the purloined divinity (in whatever form it’s in) and then decide whether to become gods or to return it to their patron deity.

When a mortal receives divine power, their friends and followers may very well become the founders of holy orders dedicated to her as a new god. Unlike with stolen divinity, imparted divinity implies worthiness. Clerics and paladins of such gods know that the existing pantheon considered their new deity worthy of joining their ranks. This imparts an air of legitimacy to a new faith.

Adventure Idea: A god’s servant approaches the player characters with a message. The servant’s patron deity will grant the player characters divine status, provided they recover a specific artifact from a demon prince’s lair in the Abyss and return it to the deity’s temple in the capital. Player characters must travel to the Abyss, locate the demon prince’s lair, infiltrate it, recover the artifact, and then safely transport it to the temple. As an added complication, the artifact is hideously dangerous to mortals on the Material Plane if not handled very carefully. To make matters worse, evil gods discover this quest and actively seek to destroy the patron deity’s reputation by unleashing the artifact’s horror on the world. If the player characters succeed, they become gods.

Benevolent Deities

Benevolent gods care about their worshipers and act to protect them. They focus on constructive methods of building their faith and strive to be awesome figures that people want to worship. As characters advance in levels, benevolent gods become more interested in their activities and more willing to answer calls for assistance or information. Benevolent gods are likely to communicate information to their worshipers and unlikely to hide it.

If the gods are benevolent, mortals must be important to them for some reason. Typically, mortal worship provides gods with power, making gods and mortals interdependent. If it’s possible to kill gods in your campaign or to replace them, gods may be benevolent to keep mortals satisfied and unthreatening. In campaigns with benevolent gods, most clerics serve a specific deity and many paladins belong to divine orders.

It may be difficult to justify why evil gods are benevolent. You may choose to eliminate evil deities and instead allow the most powerful demons and devils to represent evil. This arrangement can set the stage for a war between infernal armies and divine deities. If you use demons and devils to represent ultimate evil, decide whether evil clerics get their spells from the archfiends or from their devotion to an evil philosophy. You may choose to have evil gods but make them weaker or less significant than good deities. Perhaps they recently suffered a major defeat in the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Benevolent behavior combined with monotheism may be reminiscent of several modern real-world religions. It’s important to decide why such a deity is benevolent. Emphasizing an interdependent relationship, in which the deity needs worshipers for power and the worshipers need the deity for the necessities of life, is a step in the right direction. Going further and saying that the deity behaves benevolently to keep mortals from some other form of worship, or none at all, requires you to detail the effects of the alternatives. A monotheistic deity could behave benevolently out of a secret fear that someday a dissatisfied mortal could slay the god, for example. The gods in a dualistic system seldom both behave the same way to the same people. You can have a dualistic system in which the two gods behave benevolently to their own followers but not to followers of their opposition. Animistic deities can be benevolent, but animism is better as a mixed system, with the spirits behaving benevolently to those who show respect and acting indifferent or hostile toward those who do not.

Adventure Idea: When the player characters were children, evil gods dominated the world. Their minions oppressed the good and neutral faiths. Those who rose to temporal power did so with the aid, or at least acceptance, of the evil deities. Recently a great battle occurred in the divine planes, and good triumphed. Now powerful people seek to take the place of the evil monarchs and evil monsters roam the land free to follow their will instead of their unholy masters’ commands. Player characters may rise to rule nations or champion the defense of the weak.

Hostile Deities

Deities who take an actively hostile stance toward mortals can prove overwhelming, particularly at low levels of play. As with other divine attitudes, you need to decide why the gods are hostile. If mortals killed a god in ancient days, the existing immortals may still hold a grudge. Mortal races from the Player’s Handbook may have replaced the gods’ chosen race as preeminent in the world. If the gods are draconic, lizardfolk may have once ruled the world as humans, dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings do now. While you decide that, also decide why the hostile gods don’t simply destroy the world. Perhaps the gods need mortal worship as a source of power (unlike with benevolent gods, mortals worship hostile ones in hopes of placating them). Destroying the world may unleash some threat to the gods currently imprisoned deep beneath the surface of the earth.

If the gods are hostile, clerics generally serve divine forces rather than specific deities. Most paladins belong to secular orders rather than divine ones. Many mortals seek alternatives to worshiping hostile deities, creating new demands for clerics.

The challenge you face in using hostile deities is the opposite of what you face with benevolent ones. In this case, you must justify why good gods are hostile. You can reverse one of the approaches to benevolent gods by making good weaker or less significant than evil. In such a campaign, perhaps the good gods recently suffered a major defeat in the eternal struggle between good and evil. This theme or setting can be tough for good-aligned characters because the world is set against them, but it sets the stage for epic adventuring as the player characters seek to redress the balance in favor of good.

Active Deities

The D&D game uses the active gods model. We may meet the avatars of the gods in taverns or on the road. Putting active deities in your campaign possesses a single, tremendous advantage: Doing so adds an element of fantasy that sets the campaign clearly apart from historical simulations, even more than the existence of magic. Clerics and paladins of holy orders can point to the huge, glowing person working miracles down the street to justify their faith and devotion. (This sort of activity can easily get out of control; the dangers of overactive gods causes meddling in mortal affairs far more than is recommended.)

Historical mythologies often follow this approach. The Greek gods lived on the mortal world, what we call the Material Plane, on Mount Olympus. Poseidon lived in the sea, Hermes traveled across the land, and Zeus took many different forms to travel among mortals. The Norse gods often crossed Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge, to travel among their mortal worshipers.

Knowing that the gods are present and watchful may help explain belief systems in your campaign. It may also serve to keep some player characters in line. Just remember that if the gods always appear to rescue the player characters, the characters risk nothing. Without risk, success loses its savor, and there’s no sense of achievement. Higher-level characters are more important to the gods because they possess greater capabilities as divine agents and forces for change. Such characters need fewer rescues, yet they’re more likely to have the gods’ attention.

Monotheistic systems usually don’t use the active option because it may be difficult for a single god to be all the places she needs to be all the time. Creating multitudinous servants for the god overcomes this challenge and helps inject the fantastic element that monotheism desperately needs in fantasy roleplaying games. If you want an active monotheism, create a “heavenly host” to assist the deity. Dualism faces roughly half that challenge, since it has twice as many gods. Divine agents for each deity can overcome the remaining challenges again, or you can make the two gods distinctly different by making one distant and one active. Active animism is normal. Mystery cults of active deities may regularly experience the physical presence of their patron or one of their patron’s representatives. Active household and local gods are more likely to get worship.

Active deities make hiding sins, heretical ideas, and sacrilegious experiments a necessity for all mortals. Simultaneously, the deities are vulnerable because they’re present and active among mortals, so they hide information about their weaknesses. If mortals discover this information, the deities destroy it. If they miss a copy or a fragment, that knowledge becomes lost rather than destroyed.

Adventure Idea: Returning from an adventure, player characters are caught in a rainstorm while still outside civilized areas. Taking shelter in an abandoned barn, they find a fellow traveler warming himself by a small brazier of coals. He complains of being hungry and thirsty, and asks the player characters to share their food and water. If they do, he thanks them and joins their meal. Some time in the night he vanishes, leaving in his place a map and a strange medallion. The map and the medallion are keys to some divine secret hidden in your world. If the PCs do not share food and water, the traveler still vanishes during the night. Have each person standing watch make a Wisdom save (DC 25 + the average character level of the party) once during his or her watch every night or fall asleep (or fall into a deeper trance, in the case of elves). If the entire party falls asleep, the mysterious stranger transports the PCs to a deserted island without their rations and waterskins. In the process of traveling from island to island, trying to get home, they stumble across the divine secret mentioned earlier.

Distant Deities

Distant gods take no active part in events on the Material Plane. They may be very active in their own realm, but mortals know little or none of that. Choosing distant deities removes an element of fantasy from your game, but you can overcome that by focusing the campaign around various attempts to reach the gods. Some of those attempts might be incredibly foolhardy and dangerous, while others might be noble and worth player character support. One character’s mentor or patron could be researching and planning such an attempt from the beginning of the campaign, taking the characters deeper into his trust as they advance in levels. Another aspect worth addressing is how long the gods have been distant. Gods may have been active in the times remembered by mortals, by elves, or, even farther back, by dragons. If anyone can remember a time when gods were active, or if lost books of ancient knowledge tell of such a time, decide before the campaign starts what force is strong enough to enforce a limitation on your gods.

In the D&D cosmology, there’s a limit to how distant gods can be. Anyone capable of planar travel can reach the divine realms and tug on a divine sleeve until she gets the god’s attention (which might not be a good thing). Your cosmology might place a barrier between the gods and mortals, making reaching them more difficult but still possible.

Distant gods are effectively similar to indifferent gods. Their teachings may indicate benevolence toward, interest in, and even love for mortals, but their actions never affect mortals. Many clerics and paladins serve divine forces rather than specific deities, though some argue that the very distance between the gods and their worshipers makes devotion to them more important. When there’s a huge glowing person down the street working miracles, you don’t need faith. Belief isn’t necessary for something that’s demonstrably present.

Positive and negative energy exist even when gods are distant, so the decision has no effect on spontaneous casting or on turning and rebuking undead.

It is possible to create a vibrant, compelling monotheism with a distant god, but doing so requires some other manifestation of the divine in the world. The forces of evil can easily fill this role. If you personify evil in a single figure, you approach dualism. It’s best to spread the evil out among the demons and devils of the Abyss and Baator. Half-fiends seriously outnumber half-celestials in such a system, and at least one of the themes of the campaign should be dealing with temptation. As mentioned earlier, one way to make gods distinctive in a dualism is to make one active and one distant. In an animistic system, distant spirits might as well not exist at all.

Because they never see direct evidence that the gods exist, most mortals develop a great deal of information about the divine that’s simply incorrect. Hidden knowledge is often in plain sight, buried among the reams of wrong ideas. While distant deities by definition never act to destroy information, they may have left some behind, hidden in lost cities and ancient temples, assuming they were ever active.

Adventure Idea: Player characters live in a world where the gods are believed benevolent, but no one has any direct experience with such benevolence on an individual level. Clerics dedicate themselves to concepts or causes, rather than to gods. Littered about the world are colossal artifacts hinting that the gods were once active (such as crashed flying castles proportioned for huge inhabitants, unbreakable enormous statues with only the head or hand protruding above the earth and made entirely of diamond, and so on). As player characters adventure among the mysterious ruins, they learn that the gods may also have been responsible for the vast miles-long dead patches that dot the world. They begin to suspect that the gods distanced themselves from the world in order to keep their struggles from destroying it. They may set out to reach the gods and beg them to return to their mortal creations.

Historical Pantheons

Myths and legends portray pantheons from around the world. For instance, it’s very easy to find out how Zeus acts by reading Greek mythology - and how too much mortal interaction can be a bad thing.

Fictional Pantheons

If you’re basing a campaign on a setting described in books, consider carefully whether you want to use the deities as portrayed there. Novelists write what’s necessary to tell their story, and they’re right to do so, but the needs of a story and a game setting sometimes differ. If you like a particular quirk or personality trait from a novel, use it after considering how it will work around the game table.

If you’re using a pantheon that only exists in books, then the novels are all the information you have. Think of that situation as an opportunity. You can expand on the novels and add information the writer may have thought irrelevant, or for which there simply wasn’t space.

Your Pantheon

When developing your own pantheon, consider giving it a specific flavor. Your gods might resemble those of the Greeks, with exaggerated character traits, mortal foibles, and contradictory behavior. They might be humble, wise, and sympathetic. They might instead have alien mindsets because their powers and senses let them approach the universe in ways mortals cannot understand.

How Deities Behave

Here are some suggestions for acting the part when your player characters meet a deity.

• Spoiled Brat: Gods get their own way. If they desire something, it appears with little or no effort. Instant gratification is normal for deities. They have little or no appreciation for the challenges and difficulties mortals face. They pass out quests and tasks with no regard for difficulty and then become wrathful when mortals object. Deities who deal directly with living things usually show understanding, but even for them there is a line between reasonable concerns and thwarting their will. When you portray such a deity, dismiss player character concerns as trivial. Get angry when they can’t do what you want immediately, if that’s appropriate. Otherwise, be patient but insistent, and don’t negotiate.

• Immortal: To a deity, mortals (even elves, vampires, liches, etc.) have the life spans of gnats. What seems crucial to a mortal may be meaningless to a deity that can outwait any mortal problem. Gods may act rashly or with haste, but generally do so over their own concerns. Such deities take the long view with player characters and remind them that they are mortal, and therefore their problems will pass.

• I Saw That: Not only can gods perceive events miles away, but they can perceive their priests, temples, and portfolio elements across the planes. Assume that a deity notices any trick the characters try to pull, including slipping away to steal under cover of a diversion. In addition, an immortal being has probably already seen every trick the characters can think of and prepared defenses against them. You don’t have to plan for every possibility; just assume the deity is ready.

• Power Incarnate: Gods can do more, and do it faster and more accurately than any mortal. Any arcane spellcaster can make something appear from nothing. A deity can make impossible amounts of material appear instantly and without effort. They do it without obvious verbal, somatic, or material components. Walking up a rainbow or transforming an annoying character (annoying to the deity, anyway) into a turtle for the duration of the contact are minor manifestations of a deity. A deity might cure an incurable infliction, turn the shards of an evil artifact into flawless diamonds, or strike an obnoxious character dumb until that character makes an atonement. Whatever a wish can do, a god can do more.

• The Masked Man: Odin often wandered the mortal realm disguised as an old man. Zeus came down from Olympus in many different guises to wreak havoc. Player characters may meet a deity and never realize it (though most deities can’t resist showing off as they leave; see Power Incarnate, above).

• Divine Wrath: Deities wear their emotions on their sleeves. Whatever they’re feeling, they show. If a few mortals get stepped on, burned to cinders, crushed under falling buildings or mountains, or thrown a hundred miles by a gust of wind, a deity may not notice in the excitement — particularly if it can resurrect such mortals later. Questioning a deity’s knowledge or power or disagreeing with a deity are sure to trigger its wrath. If your player characters spend a lot of effort contacting deities, a few doses of divine wrath could change their behavior.

• Self-Centered: Deities focus on maintenance and expansion. They act to preserve their power (both personal and portfolio) and to eliminate threats to those concerns. At the same time, deities usually have an agenda for gaining further power and influence within their pantheons. Mortals are seldom powerful enough to be a distraction from these two priorities (when they are powerful enough, see Divine Wrath, above). Perhaps the biggest challenge after contacting a deity is shifting that deity’s attention from personal concerns to those of mortals. Mortals who assist a deity in a way that’s meaningful to an immortal, incredibly powerful creature are more likely to gain divine assistance.

Acting like a God

A Deity's interactions with mortals could hardly be considered "Normal" by any means, as their mere presence should be enough to shake both mental and physical foundations. When appearing before mortals, keep in mind that the deity should always be considering their own agendas above all - as any mortals they may know of are only passing glimpses in their visions, even for benevolent deities.

A Deity only ever considers physical presence a possibility for exceptional mortals with extraordinary powers - and normally to fulfill a part of their own plans. Even plain members of it's own congregations or orders are incredibly lucky if the Deity appears before them ... more so if the god even LOOKS in their general direction.

Fighting like a God

A Deity's command over martial and magical prowess is normally only matched by others of it's kind, and incredible woe be upon the unfortunate lowly soul that irks the mire of a deity while in it's presence.

In combat, a deity will use it's domain powers first and foremost above all else, as it not only embodies what they are, but they have nearly no limit to how often these powers may be used - unlike mortals.

If a deity expects a challenge, it will begin to use it's Divine Feats and class features just as any adventurer would, combining it's attacks and abilities in a way to neutralize all foes in it's path.

Only if the God truly feels it has been backed into a corner and is feeling as if it's existence is at stake will it truly go all out: Combing multiple domain powers, casting high magic, utilizing the most of it's extreme abilities to get free - it will act very much like a rabid caged animal, thrashing and exploding with violence and power until the surroundings are utterly devastated and all threats are neutralized. And even then, it still may not stop with it's rampage, as it may take such great offense to the possibility it's life would be snuffed that it would go above and beyond to destroy everything even slightly related to the offending characters or creatures.

When getting into combat as a god, don't bother rolling attacks or damage for creatures or characters with a Challenge Rating or Level equal to 10 or lower - as you should treat them as you would snuff out a candle.

It's Tough to be a God

Ultimately, playing as a deity is not an easy job, although it may seem like having such extreme powers would make it easy, it is quite the opposite.

Trying to "Play Fair" as a deity is a nigh impossible task - how could one truly embody an unstoppable force of nature with ease? The guidelines, abilities, and everything in this pdf are meant to be used as mere advice when incorporating deities into your world.

If you, as a DM, deem some rules unnecessary or want to tweak them, that is your choice - but one should always keep in mind the sheer amount of raw power and responsibility that a multifaceted, pan dimensional being contains within itself.

But above all else, have fun, and make it memorable for you: The DM, and the Players.

The Task of Ascension

The path to godhood is not a single road, but one of many paths and many ways. Each way is different for each person, but a few common trends are possible. The path to godhood is known as the Task of Ascension and it is often a very dangerous and tedious route. A creature must first establish a connection to the divine by tethering themselves to the planes, and then they must somehow obtain a divine spark and hope their form can withstand the transition.

The possess is two-step (for those that are not outsiders).

A Forenote on Aetherion Energy

Later in this document will make several mentions of a damage type known as "Aetherion", this is a type that is not typical in most senses as it works differently than most forms of damage:

• Aetherion Thought to be the spiritual twin of Force damage, Aetherion is, in simplisitc terms, soul energy. Where Force damage shreds and tears down matter at the molecular level, Aetherion damage only targets souls and spirits and destroys them, rendering most bodies completely innert and "empty" No form of resistance, immunity, or vulnurability exists for such damage.....that is known.

All constructs of an artificial nature - not including those powered by a soul or similar spiritual power source - are immune to the effects of Aetherion, as they do not possess the "material" that is affected by this damage type.

Worship/Genocide

• Receive the Gift (Any Alignment): Rarely, you may parry a favor to the gods and they will grant you godhood as a gift. This method, while both rare and unpredictable, is the safest, as there is never a threat of explosion. Deities are reluctant to gift divine rank, as they lose it from their own amount. (Divine rank 0 counts as 0.5 a rank for determining how many ranks a deity loses when gifting a mortal with godhood.)

There are also very rare items or materials that have been known to bestow godhood upon mortals. Some of the known substances and items are as follows:

• Ambrosia - The food of the gods, rare even amongst the divine. The consumption of ambrosia was typically reserved for divine beings, as it is attributed to have vast healing and regenerative abilities, and was known to bestow base divinity to those who partook of it. this delicacy appears as a type of solid gold apple, that when split open - seeps out a thick, glowing, golden syrupy honey, which is often distilled by deities into a divine drink known as "Soma"

• Artifacts - Some artifacts of immense power that were used by gods - and in some cases against them - may yet hold remnants of their divinity through mere contact. These items may even be spark focuses themselves, or when adorned or used by a creature, could even bestow a Divine Rank upon them so long as it is in their possession. such items could be an Ancient Crown of a beloved King, a Magnificent chalice that once touched the lips of a god, or an Extravagant Sword that once drew a divine's ichor from their holy body.

Once you receive the divine spark, you undergo an “Apotheotic Ascension”, a metamorphic state, in which a being is considered both mortal and divine at once.

Upon a successful Ascension, you acquire a Godspark, and you gain Divine Ranks – which allows you to take levels in Godhood.

Divine Spark Focus

Wondrous Item, Legendary

If one wishes to collect enough sparks to forge their own spark, or store an already existing one. -Then you must create a Spark Focus.

A Spark Focus varies in it's form, but costs the Following to Create:

• Associated Objects - Crystals, metals, bones, trinkets, magical ingredients, etc. costing 50,000 gp per Divine Rank intended. Which must be representative of, or akin to, the god-to-be in some fashion. (Rank 0 – 25,000 gp / Rank 1 – 50,000 gp / Rank 10 – 500,000 gp)

• Divine Materials - Amongst the associated objects needed, the following materials are necessary for every Spark Focus to be successful

  • A chunk of godstone from the Astral Plane.

  • A piece of Adamantium

  • A Diamond (Worth at least 1,000 gp)

  • An incantation of the spell "Soul Cage"

  • The blood of the god-to-be. (One drop will do)

• Creation Time - It takes the combined efforts of a Master Smith and Head Enchanter 200 days per intended divine rank to properly forge and integrate every piece of the spark focus for it to properly hold a spark within it. (Rank 0 – 100 days / Rank 1 – 200 days / Rank 10 – 2,000 days)

Apotheotic Ascension

Immediately after absorbing a divine spark, you are subjected to the fluctuating raw power of the spark. – regardless of how you came across the spark.

As your body attempts to cope with the amount of pure energy inside it, you begin your transformation into godhood. You are still able to move, take actions, use abilities, and cast spells until Round 5. This process that lasts 30 seconds – 5 rounds – with each round exhibiting a different effect:

Round 1 The energy fluctuations inside you start to manifest physically, striking out at the surroundings from your soul, and making it difficult to get near you.

• The surrounding area within a 20-foot radius becomes difficult terrain. This difficult terrain follows you. You also Deal Max damage per attack.
• You gain resistance to all damage.

Round 2 Your spirit begins to glow intensely, and you feel your insides burning, as if your soul had been lit on fire

• You begin to emit an aura of multichromatic energy which deals (5d10) Aetherion Damage (Untyped) and (5d10) Force Damage to all creatures who end their turn within 20 ft of you.

Round 3 Your mind begins to evolve in the way it perceives reality, and your vision briefly expands to see the horizon stretch out into the Ethereal and Astral planes, bearing witness to the spirits and beyond into all other planes.

• Your vision falls under the following effects temporarily for 200 ft, as your mind feels the life energy in all things.

Divine Rank (11+)

This is a category not worth mentioning or attempt to create rules for. These are the gods that are beyond mortal understanding or even divine understanding. These gods do not exist on a plane, for they exist everywhere. The best example in Forgotten Realms of a supreme deity is Ao. Usually supreme deities stay out of mortal affairs and only once a millennia even consider their existence. They may be worshiped, but usually not directly.

Divine Rank (6-10)

These are the more powerful gods than lesser deities, but are still involved in the interests of mortals. They are concerned with their worshipers, usually. In the very least they care about their worshipers for their own existence - for without them they would lose their power. At most, however, they are sympathetic and may directly involve themselves in the happenstances of the mortal world. Usually, though, this involvement is indirect.

Divine Rank (1-5)

Lesser deities are the newly ascended, even by a few hundred millennia, the aspiring god who may have little worshipers but desires greatness. These gods are the most likely to be granting spells to mortals, interfering in their affairs, or even just observing the mortal realms. Often, lesser deities are so new in their divinity that they cannot shake their interests in mortality. It may take several centuries of divinity to feel beyond it. Lesser deities are sometimes created from greater deities, as avatars or extensions of their will.

Divine Rank (0)

Quasi-deities possess enough divinity to be spectacularly powerful, but lack worshipers, cannot answer prayers, grant spells to clerics, or control aspects of mortal life. There are different types of quasi-deities, yet all of them have a Divine Rank of 0.

Hit Points

Damage is different for gods; it takes a lot to make you consider anything as hurtful or wounding. You receive maximum hit points for each Hit Dice you have. Also, your divine form is infused with energy that makes you far more durable. You gain additional hit points equal to the above multiplied by your Constitution modifier to your Divine Rank (see "Hit Dice" for details).

After all this, you then add any additional HP increases such as from the "Tough" Feat or similar abilities.

• Hit Dice: Maxed HP per every Hit Die you previously had (including con modifier per level) + 100 per divine rank + (Con. Modifier x Divine Rank))

Example: Level 20 Fighter, Constitution 20, Divine Rank 2.

= 20d10 + 100 + (5x2)

= 200 + 100 + 200 + (10)

= 510 HP + "Tough" feat at level 20 = 40 HP

= Divine Health: 550 HP total

• Regeneration: At Divine rank 0, deities regain 50 HP at the start of their turn. This increases to 75 HP at Divine Rank 1, and 100 HP at Divine rank 6.

  If your head is severed from your body, you maintain consciousness for a number of rounds equal to your Divine Rank (minimum 1).

  You may also reattach your severed limbs - or head - which immediately reattach after 1 round.

Saving Throws

• Saving Throws: Deities are supremely resistant. You may add half your Divine Rank (rounded down) as a bonus to all saving throws. Deities of Divine Rank 6 or higher are proficient in all saving throws - count all saving throws previously proficient in as having expertise in those skills

Divine Armor

• Divine Armor class: Gods are shrouded in divine energy and permeate a supremely powerful aura. Thus, you are very difficult to strike. As you grow in Divine Rank, so does the strength of this aura.

  You have a divine armor class of (12 + your Divine Rank (min. 1) + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). You may use a shield and non-armor AC items (Ex: Bracers/Cloak of Protection) when you use this armor class. If you have a different armor class, use the higher of the two.

Divine Body

Deities have cosmic energy flowing through them that makes it extraordinarily difficult to harm them.

• Cosmic Protection: Even if a damaging attack connects with you, simple strikes seem to melt off of you - requiring mass amounts of power to even damage you. At Divine Rank 0, all forms of damage dealt to you are reduced by 5 points. This increases to 10 at Rank 2, 20 at Rank 4, 30 at Rank 6, 40 at Rank 8, and 50 at Rank 10.

• Condition Immunities: Conditions that might normally affect mortals are shrugged off by deities. If you have Divine Rank 0, you are immune to the Charmed, Frightened, and Poisoned conditions. If you have Divine Rank 1 or higher, you are immune to exhaustion, shape-changing effects (unless you choose to be affected), and instant-death effects.

• Damage Resistances: If you have have Divine Rank 0, you are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical items. If you have Divine Rank 1 or higher, you are resistant to all forms of damage, even those done by magic or magical items

• Damage Immunities: Normal weapons do not even phase gods. If you have at least Divine Rank 1, you are immune to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical items.

• Discorporation: When a Divine Rank 1 deity drops to 0 hit points, its body is destroyed but its essence and awareness travels back to its godly realm, and is unable to take physical form for a time - but is fully aware and able to utilize it's divine senses and deific communication abilities. Upon discorporating, the deity loses 1 Divine Rank.

Bound to the Weave

Being a living embodiment of perfect energy, deities are - needless to say - supernaturally magical in everything they do, and as a result, magic works for them differently in a myriad of ways.

• Magical Superiority: Divinity serves as a natural ward to magic. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and spell attacks against you have disadvantage.

  Additionally - and unless a god wishes to be affected - divine beings are immune to the effects of certain levels of spells (and below them):

• Supernatural Attunement: Divinity ties ones Silver Cord (now referred to as a Golden Thread as a Deity) directly to the weave. This allows the attunement of additional items on top of the original 3 base attunement slots. You gain an additional attunement slot equal to half your divine rank rounded down (minimum 1).

• Divine Strikes: Divine energy ripples through deities, bestowing magical energy to any weapon they wield.

  All melee, ranged, and unarmed attacks from you are considered magical - and all attacks deal max damage per hit.

  A Deity's attacks count as a certain level of enchanted weaponry, representing their deepened ties to the cosmic fabric of reality. Refer to the following table to determine what level a deity's base strikes and nonmagical weaponry become when used by them.

(Note, this bonus does not stack with previously enchanted weaponry - use the higher level of the 2.)

Anathemas & Godslaying

Gods are most powerful in their divine realm, and still powerful outside of it. However, there are ways to lower a god's power given the right circumstances or materials.

Everybody has a weakness, and the same still holds true for deities. Throughout time, many cabals and sects have sought to dethrone and kill gods - either to enact change or raise one of their own into godhood. This is almost always done with an Anathema.

Anathemas are powerful objects, symbols, or circumstances that when presented to a god, disrupts their divine form and flow of power, for this reason, the use of Anathemas is imperative in the easy slaying of a deity.

Typical Anathemas throughout history have been weapons that have either drawn the ichor from the veins of a deity, or have been used by the deity themselves. Some Anathemas also take the form of a unique or rare happening, such as an eclipse, an aligning of stars, a location deemed unholy, a specific demiplane of opposing energy, or similar circumstances.

Regardless of the form of the Anathema, the more of them present, the weaker the deity becomes, sometimes to the point where they may even be mortal.

If a deity is slain with an Anathema present, the deity loses a Divine Rank equal to the number of Anathemas used against them - and sometimes these sparks are held by the offending materials...becoming spark focuses themselves.

Warlock Pacts

Deities with Divine Rank higher than 1 are usually disinterested from warlock pacts, considering it is usually the in between bestowment of powers that creatures lesser than gods do, such as archfey, celestial paragons, or fiend lords. Still, they may decide to do so on rare occasions.

Deities with Divine Rank 1 are more often known to create such pacts. The warlock's power comes directly from the deity and thus, they're limited to a certain number of pacts they can make.

(Divine Rank 0 - 5 ) = Charisma Modifier x Divine Rank.

(Divine Rank 6+ ) = Limitless pacts.

Remote Sensing

Omniscience is a defining feature of divinity and you are no exception. As an action, so long as you have Divine Rank 1 or higher, you can perceive everything within 1 mile per Divine Rank around any of your worshipers, holy sites, or other objects or locales sacred to you. This supernatural ability can

also be centered on any place where someone speaks your name or title for up to 1 hour after it is spoken and at any location when an event related to your portfolio occurs (see the Portfolio Sensing section below).

The remote sensing power can cross planes and penetrate any barrier except a divine shield or an area otherwise blocked by a deity of Divine Rank equal or higher than your own. Remote sensing is not fooled by any spell or magical effect that normally prevents divination spells or effects from working. Also, it does not create a magical sensor that can be detected by other beings or magical spells or effects (as the scrying spell does).

You can extend your locations to 3 places or more simultaneously, depending on your Divine Rank.

Once you choose a location to sense, you automatically receive sensory information from that location until you choose a new location, dismiss it, or until you cannot sense it any longer (when the 1 hour elapses, for example).

Block Sensing

Deities are capable of blocking the senses of other deities. As an action, if you possess Divine Rank 1 or higher, you can block the remote sensing abilities of other deities of your Divine Rank or lower. The power to do so extends for a radius of 1 mile per your Divine Rank, or within the same distance around a temple or other locale sacred to the deity, or the same distance around a portfolio-related event. You can block two remote locations at once, plus the area within one mile of itself. The blockage lasts 1 hour per your Divine Rank.

Remote Communication

As an action, if you have Divine Rank 1 or higher, you can send a communication to a remote location. You can speak to any of your own worshipers and to anyone within one mile per Divine Rank away from a site dedicated to you (such as a temple, shrine, or sacred grove), or within one mile per Divine Rank away from a statue or other likeness of you.

The creature being contacted can receive a telepathic message that only it can hear. Alternatively, your voice can seem to issue from the air, the ground, or from some object of your choosing (but not an object or locale dedicated to another deity of equal or higher Divine Rank than you). In the latter case, anyone within earshot of the sound can hear it.

You can also send a manifestation or omen instead of a spoken or telepathic message. The exact nature of this communication can vary, of course, but it usually involves some visible phenomenon such as a beam of light, a change in the weather, a gathering of animals, or almost anything else that is indirect and symbolic.

Your communication power can cross planes and penetrate any barrier. Once communication is initiated, you can continue communicating at will until you decide to end the communication.

You can carry on the same number of remote communications simultaneously as you can remote sensories (see above).

Death of a God

Gods can potentially die. How, though? How do you slay a being that exists in a transdimesnional state of being? The short answer is: not easily.

Many suspect a god defeated within their godly realm is the act of their true death, destroying them utterly or reducing them to a vestige.

Others suspect a god is dead when they are slain on the plane of existence that their godly realm lies upon. To settle this dispute, it may be best to consider a god truly, utterly, and completely destroyed when the following requirements are met:

• The Deity is slain within their godly realm
• An Anathematic Object is used in their destruction.
• They are defamed/unworshiped to the point of being forgotten.

If they are slain within the plane of existence of their godly realm with the bane of their existence, after their main forms of worship and belief are destroyed, they are reduced to a vestige and stripped of their Divine Rank as their remaining worshipers reel from this horrid experience of feeling the sudden abandonment of their deity. Any creature that absorbs the slain god's portfolio may answer them, however.

Regardless, the death of a god is an extremely rare occurrence. Such instances cause dramatic and seismic reactions to the plane that the death occurred on, if not the residing planes, depending upon the Divine Rank of the deity slain.

Even if the god is slain, an idea cannot truly die - one day they may rise again.

Divine Might

At Divine Rank 1, the power inherent in your ascension is too great for your body to contain, and you grow to a prodigious size to compensate. You gain the following benefits:

  • Any spell you know and can cast may be cast once more at their lowest level. (spells of 1st-9th level can now be cast twice at their lowest before using a spell slot)

Portfolios & Domains

The 2 main aspects of a deity's influence that dictate their actions and reactions both in their own realms and the material world - domains and portfolios are tightly interwoven with how the god is viewed.

A portfolio element may encompass more than one domain. For instance, a deity of the sea might have the Protection domain as well as the Nature domain. Your choices indicate a great deal about the character of the deity. A deity of the sea with the Tempest and War domains indicates that the people might fear the power of the sea. Just because deities share portfolio elements, they don’t have to share domains. Both sea deities described above could appear in the same pantheon - with the same portfolio, but separate domains.

Base Domains

Secondary Source Domains

The following homebrew domains have been pulled from several sources and are listed as additional options for creating a deity - consult your DM as to whether or not they want to include them in your world.

Bonus Domains

Epic domains?

For those playing with epic characters that go beyond 20 levels, deities normally embody only the base forms of the domains they choose.

However, if your DM allows it, when a deity chooses the "Domain Mastery" Divine Feat listed later in this guide, you may inherit the 21st-30th level archetype features of the domain you choose to master.

Using Domains

The domains listed are a combination of both original content from official sources, as well as homebrew sources - and not all may fit into your campaign.

This being said, if your DM has other domains that are more prevalent in your world, consult them on which domains to use - keeping in mind that a Deity or Power embodies the archtype features and powers of each domain they take.

Ancestral Domain Spells

Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in History.

The Vigilant Dead

The spirits of the ancestors watch over the cleric at all times, but particularly as they rest. Over a Long rest, the cleric counts as having the mental version of the Alarm spell cast upon them and the space they rest on. This effect does not trigger if the intruder into the space does not bear hostile intent toward the cleric.

Channel Divinity: Shroud of Grudges

Starting at 2nd level. you can use your Channel Divinity to call upon those ancestors whose Fell Oaths remain unfulfilled, their anger mantling over you as a thick, sinister cloak of vengeful curses.

As an action. you present your Holy symbol and gain temporary hitpoints equal to your level multiplied by three. If you are hit by an attack while the Shroud Is active, you may use a reaction inflict a Grudge upon the attacker.

A creature inflicted with a Grudge cannot critically hit (includIng the strike with which they received their Grudge) and suffers one point of exhaustion. A creature can suffer from multiple Grudges, increasing Its exhaustion each time.

In addition. you may add your Wisdom modifier to any Intimidation checks made while the Shroud is active.

The Shroud disperses, after one minute, or when all the temporary hitpoints are used up, whichever happens first.

Channel Vows

At 21st level, you learn one additional vow of your choice. Additionally, when you use your channel divinity to invoke a vow, you may now invoke 2 vows at once.

Spiritual Bulwark

At 25th level, the amount of damage reduced by your spiritual shield increases to 3d8.

Ancestral Superposition

At 28th level, when you use your Shroud of Grudges, in addition to the previous effects, you become resistant to all forms of damage, your flying (hover) speed matches your walking speed, and you can cast misty step at will.

Arcana Domain Spells

Arcane Initiate

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, and you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice that is within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as in the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the Arcane Banishment table.

Spell Breaker

Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell.

Arcane Mastery

At 17th level, you choose four spells from the wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.

At 21st level, the maximum challenge rating of creatures you can banish with your Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown below:

Mighty Spellcasting

At 25th level, you add your Wisdom modifier twice to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip, rather than once.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all expended charges once you finish a long rest

Beastial Domain

The call of the wilderness is inherently present in every living creature: a primal instinct to return to the howling dark, to join in the thrashing and gnashing creatures of the wild. There are those who embrace this feral side of nature, and revel in it. They believe in the Law of the survival of the fittest, and aim to be the apex predator above all others. In return and with enough devotion, and wild focus, their nature gods grant them the power of beasts.

Channel the Wilds

At 21st level, the number of beasts you can summon with Call of the Wilds increases as follows:

• Wolf - 6 wolves/2 winter wolves
• Bear - 6 black bears/2 owlbears
• Eagle - 7 eagles/3 giant eagles
• Shark - 6 reef sharks/2 hunter sharks

Improved Divine Strike

At 25th level, your Divine Strike damage increases to 3d8.

  Your unarmed strikes now deal 2d8 + your Strength modifier in slashing damage.

• Insatiable Hunger - When you use the attack action and hit with a bite attack you can regain hit points equal to the damage dealt. You can do this only once per turn, unless you critically hit, in which case you may bite a target within 5 feet of you again on the same turn.

  Your bite attack deals 2d8 piercing damage.

Blood Domain Spells

Bonus Proficiency

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons.

Bloodletting Focus

From 1st level, your divine magics draw the blood from inflicted wounds, worsening the agony of your nearby foes. When you use a spell of 1st level or higher to inflict damage to any creatures that have blood, those creatures suffer additional necrotic damage equal to 2 + the spell’s level.

Channel Divinity: Blood Puppet

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to briefly control a creature’s actions against their will.

As an action, you target a Large or smaller creature that has blood within 60 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or immediately move up to half of their movement in any direction of your choice and make a single weapon attack against a creature of your choice within range. Dead or unconscious creatures automatically fail their saving throw. At 8th level, you can target a Huge or smaller creature.

Channel Divinity: Crimson Bond

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to focus on a sample of blood from a creature that is at least 2 ounces, and that has been spilt no longer than a week ago.

As an action, you can focus on the blood of the creature to form a bond and gain information about their current circumstances. You know their approximate distance and direction from you, as well as their general state of health, as long as they are within 10 miles of you. You can maintain this effect as though you were concentrating on a spell for up to 1 hour.

During your bond, you can spend an action to attempt to connect with the bonded creature’s senses. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. If they succeed, the connection is resisted, ending the bond. You suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Upon a failed saving throw, you can choose to either see through the eyes of or hear through their ears of the target for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). During this time, you are blind or deaf (respectively) with regard to your own senses.

Once this connection ends, the Crimson Bond is lost.

Sanguine Recall

At 8th level, you can sacrifice a portion of your own vitality to recover expended spell slots. As an action, you recover spell slots that have a combined level equal to or less than half of your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You immediately suffer 1d6 necrotic damage per spell slot level recovered. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, if you are an 8th-level cleric, you can recover up to four levels of spell slots. You can recover a single 4th-level spell slot, two 2nd-level spell slots, a 3rd-level spell slot and a 1st level spell slot, or four 1st-level spell slots. You then suffer 4d6 damage.

Vascular Corruption Aura

At 17th level, as an action, you can emit a powerful aura that extends 30 feet out from you. This aura pulses necrotic energy through the veins of nearby foes, causing them to burst and bleed.

For 1 minute, any enemy creatures with blood that begin their turn within the aura or enter it for the first time on their turn immediately suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Any enemy creature with blood that would regain hit points while within the aura only regains half of the intended number of hit points (rounded up).

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Channel Blood

At 21st level, you can now target a Gargantuan or smaller creature with your Blood Puppet feature, the range for this feature also increases to 120 feet.

True Sanguine Recall

At 25th level, your sanguine recall now allows you to recover up to 9th level spell slots.

Vascular Rupture

At 28th level, while your vascular corruption aura is active, you may use a bonus action every turn to target one creature within your aura. This creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 8d6 necrotic damage on a failure, or half on a success - as their blood vessels are forcibly ripped from their body. A creature who fails against this ability cannot regain hit points until they finish a long rest.

Chaos Domain

Confusion, discord and unending change - chaos is the power of entropy. Clerics of chaos gods are charged with upsetting the standard order of the world.

When you first use this ability, you must choose between one of its two forms:

Zero Gravity. All non-exempt creatures and objects within range rise vertically at a rate of 5 feet per round, up to 30 feet, and remain suspended there for the duration. The ability can levitate a target that weighs up to 500 pounds. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw may choose to be unaffected.

An affected creature can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as a wall or a ceiling) which allows it to move as if it were climbing. You can move up or down as part of your move. Creatures entering the zone for the first time must make the Constitution saving throw, and if they fail they start rising and lose half their total movement speed that round to regain their balance. Creatures affected by the loss of gravity exiting the zone must make a Dexterity saving throw or fall to the ground prone. When the spell ends, the target floats gently to the ground if they are still aloft.

Unlimited Gravity. All non-exempt creatures within range must make a Strength saving throw, or fall prone under the weight of the gravity, and must succeed on a Strength saving throw to attempt to stand up within the zone. The area within the zone counts as difficult terrain for all affected creatures.

Beyond Supernatural

The presence of any of these races - or the demigod - immediately indicates the meddling of divine beings, extraplanar entities, or the influence of high magic. If any of these races are to appear in your world or campaign, it indicates that something beyond the capabilities or power of mortal hands is at work.

Use caution when allowing players to utilize these races as playable races, as it will dramatically skew gameplay in the direction of divine and supernatural creatures. Most civilized societies will realize that the creatures presented are not natural in the least - they will not know what they are, and could only guess their true origins.

Even the player characters themselves may not inherently know what they are. Perhaps a Blasphemy believes itself to be a Corrupted Aasimar, or a Benevolent Tiefling. Maybe the Primordite thinks itself as a chaos elemental merely trying to cope with it's existence in the material world.

In regards to Demigods, it is much harder to hide their true nature, but perhaps they just believe themselves to be an outstanding version of the race they belong to - not even knowing the powers they have hidden inside their bodies.

Regardless of how you incorporate these races into your world, be prepared for adventures geared towards supernatural creatures, ancient beings, and the gods themselves - it would be inevitable.

Celestial & Fiend

Blasphemies are derived mainly from mankind bloodlines: such as elves, humans, and sometimes the occasional dwarf (although it is possible - yet unlikely - to have one come from another race). These folk appear as humanlike, but their mixed blood and souls have a clear effect on their appearances.

Blasphemies often have pale, grey or even pure jet black skin, various shades of hair, and piercing, often glowing, eyes. Some may even have small horns, or tails, the faintest halo, or iridescent skin. They are often eerily beautiful, but something unnatural about their presence makes others feel uncomfortable or distrusting towards them.

Dual Nature

Because of their dual nature, their souls are very naturally conflicted. Both the forces of good as well as the forces of evil seek to use them as powerful tools in their respective crusades, or destroy them for being a corruption of the natural order.

Blasphemies will undoubtedly have their own reasons for committing both acts of good and evil, and their personal reasons for such may change on a whim. A blasphemy could essentially start a town fire just for the sake of doing so, and then turn around and charge into a burning house to save the occupants inside - the reasons for such being just as confusing to them as it would be for any common man.

Blasphemy Names

Blasphemies are typically born from mankind parentage, and they use the same naming conventions as their native cultures. As many have both a tiefling and aasimar heritage - they may be inclined to take up the name patterns of the aasimar, or adopt a "virtue" name as tieflings.

Apostasy

Apostasies have heritage based in the more neutral planes, such as Mechanus, Limbo, or even the Astral Plane, as such, they tend towards neutral alignments. To most outsider entities, they are seen as imperfections in reality.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity Score increases by 2.

Eldritch Power. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the energy within yourself, causing your eyes to become black pools of darkness, and glowing cracks to form throughout your body.

The extra force damage equals your Charisma modifier.

As an action, you emit an energized pulse of arcane energy. All targets within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier), on a failure the targets take 2d6 force damage (plus extra force damage).

Once you use this feature, you cant use it again until after you finish a long rest.

Blasphemy Feats

As Blasphemies hail from both celestial and fiendish heritage, they may have access to feats normally only available to Aasimar and Tieflings, as well as the following feat available exclusively to Blasphemies.

Primordite

The Primordials are beings of ancient descent, and amongst the first entities to ever exist in the multiverse - even before the gods themselves - and were embodiments of the elemental forces of nature and chaos in the times before the elemental planes broke away from the Elemental Chaos during the age of the Dawn War.

The Primordites are the first descendants of the Primordials, a more minute form of the ancient titans of elemental energy. The Primordites were meant to be the more "personal" forms of the Primordials, allowing their energies to manifest in areas normally inaccessible to the elemental titans - thus, spreading their influence.

To Primordites, they see all other elementals - especially genasi - with disdain, as they believe themselves to be the purest form of the elemental chaos their creators intended.

When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the earth tremor spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait.

When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the burning hands spell as a 1st-level spell once with this trait.

When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Aganazzar's scorcher once with this trait, and you regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a long rest.

Never Ordinary

While most beings exist complacently somewhere between good and evil, content to putter along in their dull lives exhibiting neither great heroism nor dastardly villainy, a demigod is never ordinary to anything more than passing observation. They may indeed go many years at a time without doing anything noteworthy, but they infallibly either prove themselves the most selfless and noble of saints or the most depraved and demonic of persons. Being as they have a far greater capacity for good or ill than mortals, there is ultimately little in way of gray about their personalities.

Out of Place

There are few who can understand the strange dynamic a demigod has with their godly parent so for a demigod to seek out others of its kind is not uncommon despite the uniqueness of their kind. However, of all the races that exist within the world, the aasimar are a people whom demigods feel the greatest connection towards. Their celestial origins along with this shared sense of conflicted purpose cause them to be largely understanding of each other and as such demigods feel the greatest sense of community in these societies. A sense that often becomes lost to them in their early teens when they begin to manifest their divine powers.

Chronicles of Legend

For as long there have been gods, there have been the half-blood children of them. Though often the result of a direct union of a deity and a mortal, however, different circumstance may cause a demigod to be born in another way. Demigods often grow to become great heroes or terrible villains. The tales of individual demigods are told in legend, that is their history. Such legends are Achilles, the hero of the great Trojan war, the famed Heracles and his many exploits, Karna, the son of the Sun god Surya, Bragi, son of Odin and so on. Each forged a legend of themselves through their great and not so great deeds and it is by these legends they live on.

Divine Link

In the way a cleric has a connection to his or her deity - a demigod has that same connection with a more personal touch. Whereas a god may be distant from their cleric only giving them occasional pushes in the right direction, a god may appear before their child in a more direct fashion to grant insights into their quests and may even perform miracles the demigod wouldn't be able to themselves. However, while there are demigods that are close enough to their godly parents to request such things there are demigods who despise or even hate their parents as well as those whose godly parents haven't even acknowledged the divine blood that courses through them. Normally the first meeting of a demigod and their parent sets the tone for the relationship and it is up to your DM to determine the nature of the relationship. Your Dungeon Master may roll on the Divine Parentage Table instead if they wish.

Anathemas & Depowerment

Having a Dormant Divine Spark and features that rely upon that spark - you are subject to depowerment as much as any deity while in the presence of anathemas.

In this case, you have no personal anathema, but those of your godly parent still affect the ties to your Divine Spark.

When in the presence of an Anathema, all traits and abilities from your Demigod race are nullified, leaving you as your base mortal form - with the exception of your Age (you still cannot be aged magically or die from being over your mortal race's age).

You must remove the Anathema from your presence to regain your Demigod traits.
