Extraplanar Demigod (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Extraplanar Demigod[edit]
If demigods are hybrids of two worlds, they can either be cross-blessed or cross-tortured by both or both at the same time.
Extraplanar demigods, half-bloods, or just demigods are a race of beings that are half-mortal and half-divine. Demigods are the end result of a divine extraplanar being and a mortal having a child together. They are vulnerable to old age and death though they have longer than average lifespans; however, their divine blood endows them with supernatural abilities that allow them to achieve feats usually not possible by mortals.
In the mystic tapestry of existence, demigods manifest visages akin to their mortal ancestry, yet their forms bear the unmistakable imprint of divine lineage, boasting idealized bodies sculpted by the essence of their godly heritage. From commonplace features like familiar eye and hair hues to echoes of divine grace reflected in facial contours and resonant voices, these divine scions embody an otherworldly elegance. Yet, the most conspicuous revelation of their divine provenance lies in the pulsating rivers of vivid scarlet, akin to molten gold, coursing through their veins — a divine ichor that distinguishes them, marking the convergence of mortal and godly realms in their extraordinary beings.

Always Remarkable[edit]
In the realm where mere mortals tread the mundane path, oscillating between the shadows of virtue and the whispers of wickedness, a demigod stands as an enigmatic anomaly, defying the commonplace with an aura that transcends casual scrutiny. These extraordinary beings may traverse epochs without arousing substantial attention, yet when destiny beckons, they unfailingly unveil their essence as either paragons of unparalleled altruism or harbingers of diabolical malevolence. Possessing a profound reservoir of potential for benevolence or maleficence, the demigods' personas are cast in hues of resplendent virtue or abyssal vice, leaving scant room for the ambiguous shades that cloak the souls of mortals.
Demigods weave an intricate dance between their divine lineage and earthly roots in the mortal society. Cloaked in the guise of their mortal kin, these extraordinary beings navigate the labyrinthine intricacies of mortal existence. Some, embraced as paragons of virtue and celebrated for their godly charisma, ascend to positions of influence, their divine features garnering adoration. Others, haunted by the shadows of their godly heritage, tread a more clandestine path, concealing the luminous ichor in their veins beneath the veneer of commonplace lives. Within mortal society, demigods embody a dichotomy, bridging realms with a precarious balance—navigating the mundane while concealing the extraordinary, forever caught between the allure of divine destiny and the subtleties of mortal existence.
Chronicle[edit]
Since time immemorial, when deities first graced the realms with their divine presence, the progeny of such unions has walked among mortals, offspring marked by divine extraplanar lineage. While some demigods emerge from the direct union of a deity and a mortal, the whims of fate may sculpt alternative origins for these extraordinary beings across the planes. Their destinies unfold with the potential to transcend into illustrious heroes or malevolent villains, weaving tales of grandeur into the fabric of existence. The chronicles of individual demigods resonate through the ages, becoming legends that transcend the boundaries of time. Talk with your Dungeon Master about how a demigod would fit on the campaign.
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 Dungeon Master to determine the nature of the relationship.
Extraplanar Demigod Names[edit]
The nomenclature of demigods aligns with the cultural realm in which they draw breath. A demigod nurtured amidst the ethereal splendors of The Seven Havens of Mount Celestia would bear a name vastly distinct from that bestowed upon a counterpart raised within the modest confines of a dwelling in Waterdeep. The resonance of rural, natural, or urban influences echoes through the names.
Extraplanar Demigod Traits[edit]
Extraplanar demigods are a race of beings that are half-mortal and half-divine.
Ability Score Increase. Your ability scores increase depending on your godly parents Divine Domain.
Age. Demigods reach physical maturity at the same time their mortal parent race would and live the same amount of time as they do, naturally. Due to their primordial and divine blood, demigods have their signs of age greatly reduced. During aging and after maturity, demigods appear much younger than an average mortal of the same age. When they reach old age they continue to live on sustained directly by their godly parent or if their godly parent does not wish to they may sustain their selves through gaining their own renown and worship or die.
Alignment. Demigods are as varied as their mortal and godly parents, although they always feel a strong inclination towards the alignment of their godly parent.
Size. Demigods vary in height and build due to their humanoid parents coming from a variety of races, however, they always appear in the epitomized and perfect version of their mortal race. Regardless of your position in that range or your parent's race, your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Deific Tell. Your connection to the divine is strong, and its strength gives you away to others. Creatures with the celestial, fey, or fiend creature type and creatures with a divine connection know you are a demigod. A successful Intelligence (Religion) check can be done against your Charisma (Deception) check to discern who your godly parent is. In addition, if you are of a divine class such as cleric, you must choose the domain of your godly parent.
Divine Heritage. You are innately better than others in areas pertaining to your godly parent's divine domain. Choose an option from the Divine Domain Ability Score Increases that pertains to your godly parent's domain.
Divine Domain. Your godly parent has dominion over a specific divine domain. Below, in the Divine Domain Traits area, choose three options from the General Traits section. Then choose two options from the Specific Traits area. This must be the same as the option you picked for your divine heritage trait.
Domain Sense. Demigods have a limited ability to sense events involving their domains. You automatically sense notable events and minor events within 5 miles that involves your domain. When a demigod senses an event, it merely knows that the event is occurring and where it is. The demigod receives no sensory information about the event. For example, if a demigod of the nature domain were within 5 miles of a forest fire, it would become aware of it and where it is happening. If it were 10 miles away, it wouldn't have any idea, but if that forest fire broke the seal on an ancient evil that their godly parent or some other nature god locked away, you would become aware of it as well as the location of the site.
Fated. Beginning at 5th level, your divine energy expands as the threads of fates unravel and tie themselves anew for a demigod. Whenever you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common, plus the cultural language of your mortal parent society, if different than Common, and all demigods have the innate ability to speak, read and write the original language of their divine parentage's plane or nationality.
