Whether from a long line of demi-gods, Aasimar, or families gifted by divine fortune, a descendant of divine derives their lineage from the most powerful of entities, the gods. Many claim to be from a divinely blessed, or cursed, line but few actually do yet when a true descendant of divine appears all who feel the pull of faith can tell them apart from the rest. Those under this powerful birth sign often become the most merciful of rulers and most cruel of tyrants, being influenced by their godly relative the entire time.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in Religion and Persuasion due to your natural inclination to study your divine lineage and your alluring nature. You also are proficient in one skill of your choice.
- Languages: You are born with the ability to understand and speak Celestial, as well as one other language.
As a descendant of divine all people who worship can feel your estranged nature from common folk. You may command those who follow the god who started your divine family tree, and they do so happily. However those who oppose your godly relative may become hostile towards you, denying you entry to holy places or outright attacking you. Common folk and faiths that are neutral towards your divine relative can easily tell you apart from normal people, but won't make anymore move to assist you than they would a priest or low-ranked bishop.
Depending on the deity your family originates from will determine the type of person and faith you naturally attract. Your divine relative also directly influences your alignment, making you the same alignment as them, and you feel naturally compelled and attracted to their ideals, morals, and domains.
