## Apotheistic Hymnos
All Apotheosis have a type of Epic they embody best. These choices are presented below.
## Hymnos: Thriller
Apotheoses from the Thriller Hymnos foster a reputation of nightmarish behavior. Their legend contains themes of darkness and suspense, and their tales often involve surprise attacks and horrific injuries.
### Suspense
At 3rd level, you gain darkvision out to 90 feet.
In addition, you can hide while in direct observation. When hostile creatures are directly observing you, you can make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by the creature's passive Wisdom (Insight) as a bonus action. On a successful check, you seem to just disappear from view, becoming invisible until the end of your next turn.
You can only hide in this way if the number of creatures that can see you is less than your Charisma Modifier.
### Anticipation
Starting at 6th level, You always have the *Adrenaline Rush* Power prepared. You cannot be surprised, gain a bonus to your initiative equal to your charisma modifier, and whenever you turn invisible you gain temporary hit points equal to your apotheosis level.
### Surprise!
Starting at 9th level, while you are hidden you can reveal yourself in a dramatic way (no action required). Creatures that can see you and are within 30 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Power save dc or become Frightened of you for 1 minute.
While frightened in this way, they must spend their movement to move away from you on their turn. You have advantage on opportunity attacks against them, and if you hit an opportunity attack, they must make a Constitution saving throw against your power save dc or become Paralyzed until the end of your next turn.
A creature that is Frightened in this way can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

## Hymnos: Tragedy
Apotheoses from the Tragedy Hymnos foster a reputation of loss and suffering. Their stories show signs of some flaw that shows itself from the very beginning, and leads to a downfall that's entirely self-fulfilling. These stories confer great benefits, but also great downsides.
### Fatal Flaw
At 3rd level, pick a fatal flaw.
- **Paranoid** - You always have the *Heightened Defense* Power prepared.
- **Egoist** - You always have the *Project Will* Power prepared.
- **Martyr** - You always have the *Martyrdom* Power prepared.
### Rise up...
At 6th level, your fatal flaw confers additional, toggleable benefits.
- **Paranoid** - When using Heightened Defense, you can decide to add the AC bonus to your Dexterity saving throws. However, if you are hit with an attack or fail a Dexterity saving throw after using this benefit, attacks against you until the start of your next turn have advantage, and if an attack hits, you take psychic damage equal to your level and your shield dispels.
- **Egoist** - When using Project will, you can decide to have the spirit act out your entire turn instead of just an action, and with no attack restriction. However, if it fails a skill check or misses an attack after using this benefit, you take Psychic damage equal to your level, and are Frightened of whatever is the source of that failure until the end of your next turn.
- **Martyr** - When you intercept an attack with Martyrdom, you can decide to halve the damage you take from it and keep your reaction. However, if the target you're protecting takes damage before the start of your next turn after using this benefit, you take psychic damage equal to both your and the target's level.
### Come down...
Starting at 9th level, your fatal flaw confers permanent advantages on certain skills, but leads you to be flawed in other capacities.
- **Paranoid** - You have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks. However, you have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks when talking with new people.
- **Egoist** - You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks. However, you have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks around reflective surfaces.
- **Martyr** - You have advantage on Constitution saving throws. However, you have disadvantage on Intelligence saving throws within 10 feet of your allies.
### The Dénouement
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
- **Paranoid** - You become immmune to all damage, harmful effects, and conditions until the end of your next turn as your extreme paranoia gives you the foresight to dodge any harm.
- **Egoist** - You summon two instances of *Project Will* with the additional benefit gained from your 9th level feature, as your extreme ego lets you manifest multiple wills onto the world.
- **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.
Once you use your fatal flaw's denouement you suffer two levels of exhaustion. Furthermore, using Powers causes 1d10 necrotic damage for each Vigor point spent. This damage can't be reduced or prevented in any way. This lasts until the end of your next Long Rest.
