Whether because of a curse, a transgression, or your own will, you left your divine home and power behind, taking on the life of a mortal. Your divinity may grant you favor with some, but revealing it could sow distrust or hatred in others.
- Skill Proficiencies: Religion, Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: One musical instrument
- Languages: Celestial, or another divine language of your choice

Feature: Lord, Liar, or Lunatic
Since you are (were) a deity, you inevitably find yourself between a rock and a hard place when it comes to revealing your divinity. People's reactions to your claims tend to be extreme. When convincing someone of your identity, those who believe you will become allies and followers, willing to assist, guard, or learn from you - and those who do not are all-too-likely to become staunch enemies.
Suggested Characteristics
An exiled deity is often a polarizing figure, and they can fall anywhere from an unassuming hermit to a charismatic celebrity. Many may regard their claims as suspicious at best, but they may also be able to gain devoted followers and disciples on their quest.
