Hero

God’s Chosen

Favored by one god, a Hero is chosen and by virtue of this selection begins their heroic journey and starts their Noble Calling. Some view this selection as an honor or a source of great annoyance or dismay. God’s Chosen are the most common of the Heroes as it is one way the overgod Ao allows gods to interact with the mortal planes. The journey of each of God’s Chosen is rather unique since the power involved can take liberties with how the Hero grows and progresses. Only a few gods are sanctioned by Ao and each has their own way of interacting with their chosen Heroes. You can either roll to determine your deity or discuss with your DM to choose one that suits your character.

God’s Journey: A God’s Chosen Hero’s Journey is a very straightforward one. The god who chose you knows your Journey and will aid you in knowing its path and warning you when you depart it.

Subclass Features

Lv 3

Heroic Presence

Your presence as a chosen Hero draws the attention of many powers and deities. You can make offerings in order to divine the will of your god to aid your journey or another power if your god is displeased with you or otherwise engaged. While offerings are appreciated, too many offerings is annoying and makes them cheap and discourages a Hero from treading their own path on their journey. As such your chosen god blocks divine communication at times.

Divining Knowledge

Limit Break- Golden Strike

You can place your own wellbeing on the line to make a powerful strike that sunders the foul and evil. You can offer 1-7 levels of Exhaustion to empower your next attack. On a hit, you deal XD8 Radiant damage on the hit where X is the amount of Exhaustion levels offered.

Backlash: Using such divine power places great strain on your mortal body. Upon making an attack using your Limit Break feature, you gain the amount of levels of Exhaustion that you offered.

You can use your Limit Break feature once per long rest.

Lv 7

Heroic Spirit

You are blessed by divine protection. You are able to force yourself to surpass mortal limits. You can gain 2 special levels of Exhaustion that do not count toward the debilitating effects of Exhaustion (For instance, if you have 3 levels of Exhaustion, you suffer the effects of having one level of Exhaustion).

Lv 15

True Limit Break- Divine Strike

You tap into the true power that god has bestowed you with. The damage die for your Limit Break feature becomes 1D12 and deals twice as many damage dice as Exhaustion sacrificed.

You can use your Limit Break feature three times per long rest.

Lv 20

Legendary Attack- God’s Strike

You can call upon the power of god and recreate an inferior version of their mythical attack. You can use an action to make an attack corresponding to the god who chose you. Any saving throw for an attack with this feature has a DC of 20.

You regain the use of this feature after using your Limit Break feature and by sacrificing one level of Exhaustion.
