Homebrew Demigod Species Details

Demigod Traits

The offspring of a god and a mortal, a hero of days, a Demigod.
Ability Score Increase. Your ability scores increase depending on your godly parents Divine Domain.
Age. Demigods reach physical maturity in their late teens and live for 100 years naturally, showing no signs of age. When they reach 100 years of 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.
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 built due to their humanoid parents coming from a variety of races, however, they always appear within the taller ranges and stronger builds of their mortal sides 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.
Fated. The threads of fates unravel and tie themselves anew for a demigod. When 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.
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 as well as 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 Domain. 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 Portfolio. Your godly parent has dominion over a specific portfolio. Choose an option from the Divine Portfolio Traits that pertains to your parent's divine domain. This must be the same as the option you picked for your divine domain trait.
Godly Parentage. Unswerving of will and unassailable of mind, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened. In addition, you cannot be aged magically.
Mortal Parentage. Even though it is your godly parent that makes you special, you still have a mortal parent. While you don't receive any of the racial traits that your mortal parent has. Your mortal parent must be humanoid and you physically resemble that race in its most epitomized form.
Portfolio Sense. Demigods have a limited ability to sense events involving their portfolios. You automatically sense notable events and minor events within 5 miles that involves your portfolio. 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 portfolio was within 5 miles of a forest fire it would become aware of it and where it is happening. If it was 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.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and all demigods have the innate ability to speak, read and write Celestial. Whether they discover this by meeting an angel or when a traveling aasimar got a peek at their scribbles as a child is, it is ultimately up to you. Celestial as a language sounds like a heavenly choir when spoken, and is written with a grace and fluidity that no mortal language has replicated.

Racial Feats: Divine Gift

Normally a feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides. Demigods like every other race can receive these as well, however, they can also receive gifts from their godly parent represented in the form of a racial feat. At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take this racial feat instead. You can take this feat multiple times and if you ever lose this feat's prerequisite, unlike normal feats, you can still use it.
