You are the child of a god—or at least, that’s what your soul seems to believe. Raised on stories of divine ancestry or whispered truths from oracles, your life has always been touched by power. But now, you must prove your worth not just by your blood… but by your deeds.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: Calligrapher’s Supplies or Smith’s Tools (your divine patron’s domain can inspire your choice)
- Languages: Celestial, and one other of your choice (maybe Infernal or Draconic, depending on rival pantheons)
- Equipment:
-
A small token from your divine parent (roll or choose below)
-
A scroll with a prophecy about your future
-
Traveler’s clothes
-
A belt pouch containing 15 gp
-
Divine Token (1d6 or pick):
-
A golden laurel that never wilts
-
A cracked amphora that whispers your parent’s name in dreams
-
A bronze coin with your own face on one side
-
A shard of divine marble from your parent’s temple
-
A flame that never goes out in a tiny sealed jar
-
A ring that glows faintly in the presence of magic
-

You carry a subtle aura of divine blood. Commoners often treat you with awe or reverence, and religious figures—regardless of pantheon—may offer you hospitality, visions, or cryptic guidance.
In times of great stress, you might experience flashes of divine memory or instinctual understanding of ancient relics, architecture, or prophecy. The DM may allow you to glean insight others cannot when faced with matters of the gods.
