Apotheosis

A man clad in brilliant blue armor
stands within the middle of an encampment
raising their hands to the thundering sky
as they are struck by lightning. The air
swells as dozens of sparrows fall dead, and charred
splinters of wood lay across the field.

As a hunter prepares to fire an arrow at a rare waterbird, the lake begins to roil and swell, splashing violently along the shore. the waters part to reveal a knightly figure surrounded by floating fish. There comes a single scream drowned by the slash of rainfall, and then silence.

Slamming his hands into the ground and flexing his fingers, a goliath wreathed in tangled overgrowth rips out a chunk of stone and dirt larger than himself, hurling it at a green dragon flying overhead. The cowering townsfolk can’t help but let out a cheer as the foul beast cries out in agony and falls motionless into nearby plains.

In any circumstance, these beings called Apotheoses collectively exist to exert their will upon the world. Their existence is defined by a set of fables that usually with some unifying theme or motif, the most common being an elemental power.

Creating an Apotheosis

When creating your Apotheosis, the most important aspect to consider is your legendary themes and motifs. What ideals do you embody? What domains do you draw from? How might your tales be spread? Do you have a title? A famous story about yourself? What symbols do you become associated with?

Start thinking about the abilities your character possesses. Think of what traveling bards in taverns would hear. What about an average commoner or your enemies? Your reputation will precede you, so it’s important to create a foundation from which the rest of your character is drawn.

Quick Build

You can make an Apotheosis quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability score. Your next-highest score should be Constitution to increase the strength of your powers, or Charisma if you want more control over your story. Second, choose the Folk Hero background.

Optional Rule: Multiclassing

If you use the multiclassing rule from the Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you take a level in Apotheosis.

Ability Score Minimum. You must have at least a 13 in either Strength or Dexterity, and a 13 in Charisma to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already an Apotheosis

Hymnos: Tragedy

Starting at 15th level, your fatal flaw results in a final flash before the story ends. At the start of your turn, you can activate this ability

• Martyr - Until the end of your next turn, you transfer half of all damage allies take within 30 feet of you to yourself, and gain immunity to that damage, healing by the amount you would have taken, as your extreme martyrdom forbids you from allowing any harm to your friends.

Lightning Cloak

Prerequisite: 11th level
As a bonus action, you can spend 7 points of Vigor to wrap yourself in a cloak of lightning. While cloaked, you must concentrate on this power as if concentrating on a spell. You gain the following benefits:

• Your base movement speed becomes 100
• You ignore nonmagical difficult terrain while dashing.
• You can dash as a bonus action
• When you are hit with an attack you can shock the attacker if they are within 10 feet with your reaction, dealing 3d8 lightning damage to your target. A creature that takes this damage can't use reactions until the end off their next turn.
• If you use both your action and bonus action to dash in the same turn, you can instead teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 300 feet of you. If you do this, your concentration on the power ends. You deal 3d8 lightning damage to creatures within 10 feet of the space you enter, and you can immediately take another action. This action can be used to make an attack (one weapon attack only), dash, disengage, or hide.

Undying Strength

You can cast false life without material components for 1 point of Vigor.

You can spend additional points of Vigor to add 5 to the Hit points rolled. The maximum amount of Vigor you can spend on a casting of this spell is limited to half your Apotheosis level, rounding up.

Unstoppable

When you hit an object, you can spend 1 point of Vigor to deal a critical hit instead. When you deal critical damage in this way, you also deal double damage if the object is nonmagical.

Alternatively, if you have moved at least 20 feet in a straight line, you can spend 3 points of Vigor to plow a hole through a structure no more than 5 feet thick as long as its AC is under 16 and its hit points below 20.

You can spend additional points of Vigor to plow through tougher objects. For each point spent, the AC limit is increased by 1 and the Hit point limit by 5. If you spend 5 or more Vigor, the thickness you can penetrate increases to 15 feet, and your movement is increased to complete the charge if it is less.

Vanishing Presence

As an action, you can spend 2 points of Vigor to turn invisible for the next hour. If you make an attack, use a power, or deal damage to another creature, the power ends. You must concentrate on this power as if concentrating on a spell.

At 7th level, you can spend 4 points of Vigor to turn invisible for the next minute. You must concentrate on this power as if concentrating on a spell.

Anything you wear or carry is invisible as long as it is on your person.

Wax Wings

Prerequisite: 5th level
You learn Fly. You gain the ability to cast it on yourself without material components for 3 points of Vigor.

At level 14, The cost to cast Fly becomes 1 point of Vigor, and lasts indefinitely without concentration until you are incapacitated
