Homebrew Demi-God: Child of Persephone Species Details
Persephone is the Goddess of spring, vegetation, and the Queen of the Underworld. She is the daughter of Demeter and the wife of Hades. After she was taken to the Underworld, her mother fell into despair, plunging the world into cold and creating the seasons. Persephone represents both life and death as well as growth and decay due to her roles as the Goddess of spring and as the Queen of the Dead. Children of Persephone carry this duality within them: they nurture life, but they are never far from death.

Demi-God: Child of Persephone Traits
As a Child of Persephone, you have these special traits.Child of Two Realms
You are proficient in Nature and Insight. You learn the druidcraft and spare the dying cantrips. You can always tell if a creature or area has been touched by death within the last 24 hours, and you can identify natural plants and whether they are healthy, dying, or magically altered.
Grave Whisperer
You can briefly touch the boundary of the Underworld. Once per day, you can cast speak with dead without material components. When you do, your voice carries an eerie, echoing tone, and nearby plant life withers slightly.
Withering Strike
You spread the decay of the Underworld through another’s blow. As a reaction when an ally within 30 ft. of you hits a creature with a successful weapon attack, you can cause the wound to rot and fester. The target takes 2d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can make a Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
