Demigod, Variant 2 (5e Race)

Demigod

That's what being a demigod was all about, not quite belonging in the mortal world or on the Outer Plane but trying to make peace with both sides of their nature.

Demigods look like members of their mortal lineage, although they tend to have more ideal bodies due to their godly parentage, epitomizing the height of their mortal species, and usually have traits carried from their godly parent. This can range from simple physical characteristics such as common eye or hair color; to similar facial shape or voice. However, the biggest giveaway of their divine origin is the bright red, almost golden-colored blood that runs through their veins that resembles a godly ichor.

Spark of Divinity

Demigods are born when a Spark of divine power is put in a woman during pregnancy, the divine strenght will empower the unborn child, in some cases giving them special powers. However this process is not flawless, and only a few of the kids obtain their powers. This process can be willingly be done by a god, or maybe some mortal may do this secretly, to obtain a warrior blessed by divine powers

Champion Call

The world is a dangerous place, evil is lurking in every corner, obscured necromancers are raising armi of the dead, evil warlords amass cast armies to conquer and pillage. In such dark times the world calls for a hero. While mortals can choose to answer the champion call, for demigods it's different, they are compelled to act, their nature forces them to do something. No demigod can just stay idle and enjoy a peaceful life, there will always be something that forces them to act, either fate or their nature

Dark Urges

Some demigods might rebel to their cruel fates of being forces in battle after battle, enduring losses and tragedy. Their nature forces them to act, but not always for good, some may ally themselves with the forces of evil, rising in their ranks until they become the same calamity that their kin is Born tò destroy

Deific Tell

Many beings including yourself have a connection to the celestial realm your godly parent makes their home. Particular beings or creatures can tell of the connection you and they both possess, most of the time these are celestial, fey, fiends, or other creatures like a medusa or minotaur, and their relationships with the divine will normally affect their relationship with you. For example, a celestial being that comes across you may react to you in a variety of ways given the deity that created them. They may see you like an angelic guide who sees an Aasimar and approach you with an interest, driven by a sense of responsibility or they may assist you in some minor way to allow you to continue to forge your path while also gaining favor from your godly parent. However, on the other side of the coin, they may react violently to your presence as not all demigods are the spawn of good-aligned deities and seek to smite you or deal with you in some other way. Fiends may try to use or trick you as part of an attempt to gain more power. Fey may find you simply too interesting to pass up and mischievously follow you from place to place.

Demigod Names

Demigods use the same naming conventions as the native culture they were born into. A demigod born into and brought up in The Seven Havens of Mount Celestia would have a very different name to one brought up within a humble house in Waterdeep. The names of well-known demigods are as follows.

Male: Achilles, Arcas, Belleroph, Heracles, Perseus, Theseus, Romulus, Remus, Karna, Vali, Bragi

Racial Feats: Divine Gift

Normally a feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides. Demigods like every other race can receive these as well, however, they can also receive gifts from their godly parent represented in the form of a racial feat. At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take this racial feat instead. You can take this feat multiple times and if you ever lose this feat's prerequisite, unlike normal feats, you can still use it.

Prerequisite: Be of good or neutral standing with your godly parent
