Lux Tenebris: Demigods


Demigods are the children of a mortal and a god.  They should not be confused with aasimars.
Aasimars have the blood of celestial beings flowing through their veins; demigods have the blood of actual dieties.
Demigods are very rare - there are only three on Lore at the moment - and can be from any race. They share the same racial traits as their mortal parent, but upon achieving adulthood their aging slows and can eventually stop.
Their longevity allows demigods to master skills and abilities far beyond those of their mortal kith and kin.
However, although demigods achieve extraordinary things, they are vulnerable. Most demigods die from violence. They are hunted by diabolic and demonic forces as well as primordial aberrations and even opportunistic mortals most of their lives.
The ones who achieve a certain level of experience, often choose to leave the mortal realm and either adventure in the multiverse, retire to private demiplanes or take shelter with their divine parent.  Some, at the height of their power, can even ascend to godhood.

In game terms, demigods can progress to Level 40.  Their proficiency bonus increases to a maximum of +10 and they can choose from the list of Epic Boons at level 21, 25, 30, 35 and 40 with their DMs approval. In addition, demigods do NOT have a maximum character attribute of 18.

As always, DMs should feel free to disallow this content if they feel it will not work in their game setting or restrict it to NPCs that they control.
