The Path to Godhood
Introduction
Deities: spiritual and metaphysical beings embodying the
loftiest (and basest) principles of morality, ethics, and every
aspect of mortal existence . . . or just some incredibly
powerful creatures?
The answer to that basic question, like so many other
questions in D&D, is ultimately up to you, and the answer you
decide on will have a lot to do with how you use this guide.
There is no right answer beyond what’s right for your
individual world, your campaign, your players, or your style of
gameplay. On the other hand, if you want help creating a
vibrant, realistic pantheon for your campaign, a set of deities
that helps shape the course of events in adventures of epic
scope, deities who inspire the clerics, druids, paladins, and
other characters in your game to the greatest heights of
heroism and the lowest depths of villainy . . . well, there's tools
for that as well.
The Path to Godhood
This guide can help you decide what role that your deities
can play in your campaign, from their philosophies and oaths,
to their Attacks and Armor Class.
Part 1: Roleplaying Divinity is a set of guidelines and
recommendations for how a DM or Player could go about
playing as or embodying a creature of divine power.
Part 2: The Task of Ascension describes the process of
divine ascension — the means by which a mortal player
character can become a deity (if you choose to allow this
option in your campaign). Firstly through becoming an
outsider, and then undergoing the divine transformation.
Part 3: The Forms of Divinity delves into the rules that
help quantify deities. It introduces the concept of divine rank
as a measure of godly power, and spells out what a deity of a
certain rank can do — in the same terms as any other
character class's abilities are defined - as well as
congregations that separate deities into specific categories.
Part 4: The Reign of Divinity defines portfolios, domains,
and details all the domains mentioned in this guide, including
new domains that do not appear in the Player’s Handbook -
as well as listing domains already available.
Part 5: Divine Races extrapolates upon forms of divine
races, such as a few new outsider races, and the Demigod
Race Template.
Part 6: Divine Power describes additional epic boons, as
well as epic maneuvers available to mortals and divine alike.
It also lists divine feats available only to deities, each of which
can have specific requirements, or prerequisites to attain or
use. This section also addresses godly forms of madness -
known as Divine Rampancy.
Part 7: Divine Objects items and equipment used to
ascend to godhood, were once touched by ascended or
powerful beings, and items used by the hands of Gods
themselves.

The True Nature of Divinity
Gods are immortal beings with power beyond mortal
capabilities. You as a DM decide where they came from.
Consider the divine spark, the indefinable quality that
separates god and mortal, separately from the source of
divine power (see Dependent and Independent Deities,
below). While they may be the same thing, they don’t have to
be.
Innate Divinity
Divinity, the divine spark that makes gods able to perform
their roles, may be innate to the gods. The Olympian gods,
descended from the Titans, were born with their divine
status. In this case, mortals such as your player characters
cannot earn divinity (though you may decide that deities can
impart divine status to mortals). Rarely are such gods born
during recorded history. They generally predate the
intelligent races, and may have created those races. With this
option, you set the number and identity of the gods at the
beginning of the game, and these quantities generally remain
static. If your campaign will never focus on player characters
ascending to godhood or on divine events, this decision on
the nature of divinity may be your best choice.

time deciding how the universe came into being.
Dualism can work with the concept of earning divinity. The
methods used by the two gods to earn their respective divine
status might be the very things that polarized them into
opposition. In fact, dividing the two deities by their method of
attaining divinity can be much more interesting than dividing
them by which is good and which is evil.

8
 In a dualistic system, the gods may have cooperated to
steal from a previous god or gods, or one may have stolen
from the other. The latter situation creates a dynamic
opposition that makes a compelling dualistic system. Avoid
the predictable idea of the evil god stealing from the good
one; the reverse could prove more interesting. Of course, it’s
yet more remarkable and fantastic if the two gods are
differentiated by something other than good and evil.
An animistic system could have mortals steal divinity from
the gods only to be transformed and split into tiny pieces by
the divine power, thus becoming the spirits revered in the
campaign. Alternatively, you could have a mythology in which
representatives from the animal and plant kingdoms aided
the mortals, and they all became spirits. Such talking animals
and mobile talking plants are common in world mythologies.
In all cases, you must detail the source of the “original theft.”
There has to be something to steal from, all the way back to
the beginning of the universe.
A crime such as theft implies secret or hidden knowledge.
Any time you have a change in the pantheon, you have the
potential for secret or hidden knowledge. For instance, the
thieves might want to destroy any record of previous gods, or
of their own previous identities. This “active hiding” means
that anyone who discovers “heretical” information is at risk
of retribution through divine or mortal actions.
Clerics and paladins of deities who stole their way to divine
status face some of the same challenges as they do with
deities who earned their divine status. Their gods were once

with earned divinity, there may be rivalry or outright war
between new gods and old. You need to decide whether gods
steal from each other, and if so, what power they gain. If they
do not steal from each other, you should have a good reason
why not - perhaps it disrupts the natural balance. Decide how
widely known the process of becoming a god is. If everyone
knows, make sure to tell your players. Or, the gods may be the
only ones who know. Alternatively, you may decide that only
gods can perceive and physically handle divine sparks, so
gods can steal them but mortals cannot. Mortals could still
become gods through earning such status, or through the
gods imparting or surrendering it.
When combining monotheism and the concept of stolen
divinity, you have to establish from whom the one god stole
divinity. Initially the idea may seem self-contradictory, but the
right mythology can make it work. For instance, the one god
might be the only one left after all the other gods had their
divinity stolen (in which case you must decide where the
stolen divinity went). Alternatively, the one god might have
stolen divinity from all the previous gods.

9
 Imparted Divinity
With this option, some source — generally the existing gods
— imparts divine rank to those who deserve it. “Deserving”
divine rank could mean overcoming all the challenges to
reach the source, or it could involve performing a service
particularly exemplary of a patron deity. Most likely it means
a life of devotion, obedience, loyalty, and faith in the pantheon
or patron deity. Contrasted with earning divine rank, in this
system a particular being decides whether to impart divine
status to a candidate. For instance, Zeus generally decided
who could join the Olympian pantheon.
This choice for the nature of divinity gives the members of
your current pantheon control over who joins their ranks.
The resulting number of gods is much more manageable and
consistent than with earning divinity. At the same time, those
player characters who wish to become gods have a method
for doing so. Decide the cost for becoming a god. A deity
might impart divine status as a reward for a heroic quest, or a
character might have to slay a demon lord. If total divine
power is limited, your gods should tightly ration who receives
divine power.
The conscious choice involved with imparting divine status
combines monotheism with the right mythology. The worship
of a single, all-powerful deity does not deny the existence of
previous or future deities. A myth cycle in which a god lasts
for eons and chooses her replacement is workable, provided
you detail what made the current deity such a good candidate
while he or she was yet mortal.
Dualism can work in a similar fashion, with the two gods
choosing their replacements after a long period of divine
dominion. Alternatively, one deity (perhaps born with her
power or even having stolen it) could impart power to a
mortal out of loneliness, or out of a desire for help in running
the universe. Opposition could happen after the second being When a mortal receives divine power, their friends and

do they want to compare unfavorably to a previous deity.

10
Surrendered Divinity
You may choose to allow your gods to surrender their divine
status, permanently or temporarily. A god overcome by ennui
or grief might choose to wander the planes or live among
mortals. They might decide to take the smaller
responsibilities of a household or local god. The other gods
must take over the surrendered domains, and squabbling
may result. Further conflict may erupt if the departed deity
returns. A deity may surrender power, in this system, to a
chosen replacement — which could be a player character.
Adventure Idea: The god of the sea surrendered his power
to the chief deity of the pantheon and went to sea among
mortals. The player characters want to find him, either
because they are his former worshipers and want him to
return to his divine duties or because their patron deity asked
them to. Obstacles in their path may include the ex deity
being shipwrecked on a dangerous and mysterious island, or
he may have become tainted by evil and turned to piracy.
Mixing It Up
You may choose to mix these ideas. For example, the current
or “main” gods of the pantheon were born with divine status.
Some lesser deities earned their divine status through
miraculous acts and heroic quests. Others received their
divine status from the main gods as rewards for devoted
service over several decades or longer. Stealing the divine
essence of lesser deities is considered an evil or chaotic act,
but it is possible. However, intermediate and greater deities
are inseparable from their divine essences, so their status is
never in danger - or it may be a constant struggle for deities
to remain in power, as the slightest show of weakness is
grounds for usurping their spark.
Creators or Usurpers
The current god or gods of the campaign did not necessarily
create the universe. If someone or something else created the
universe, you need to know the details. You also need to
decide if the facts of the matter are hidden information,
common knowledge, or somewhere in between. A pantheon
of gods might claim to have created the universe and be lying
or concealing the truth. The current crop of gods may have
killed the creators, as the Olympian deities slew the Titans.
They may have defeated the creators and taken their place.
Depending on your mythology, the defeated gods might be
more desirable than the current crop, or they might be dark
and alien, in which case everyone fears their return.
Alternatively, the universe might have been born because of
a natural process, such as that described in the Big Bang
Theory. If you make that choice, deities might be
superpowerful beings who came into existence before any
other life in the universe. All other life might, in fact, result
from their experimenting with their new existence.

As characters go up in levels, they may well pique the gods’
interest, for good or ill.
Indifferent gods do not actively communicate with their
worshipers. Neither do they actively hide information.
Campaign secrets about indifferent gods are likely to be
simply lost knowledge. Ancient scholars, sages, and clerics
may have learned some secret, recorded it, and lost the
record in a huge library, a war, or a natural catastrophe.
Indifferent gods don’t intentionally provide divine spells to
clerics. In a campaign world with indifferent gods, many
clerics will not serve a specific deity.
Indifferent gods buy you some time when designing your
campaign. You know they have at least one agenda and
maybe several, but you don’t have to describe these agendas
until your player characters reach high enough level to
discover them.
Some players may feel that an indifferent monotheism
accurately represents modern religions, so the system has
many of the same concerns as benevolent monotheism. An
indifferent dualism requires extra effort to convey the
dynamic, fluctuating opposition between the two gods. More
important, it requires extra effort to convey the relevance of
their eternal struggle to the player characters. Remember
that although the deities feel indifferent toward mortals, this
doesn’t imply that they’re inactive or have no effect on the
world. Similarly, an indifferent animism could seem like an
inert world. If the spirits don’t act in ways that affect player
characters, or in ways the player characters perceive, then
they might as well not be there. Ancestor worship, in this
case, becomes an alternative to ignored requests for divine
aid. Mystery cults may seek to overcome indifference through
secret rites.

Historical mythologies often follow this approach. The divine secret mentioned earlier.
Greek gods lived on the mortal world, what we call the
Material Plane, on Mount Olympus. Poseidon lived in the
sea, Hermes traveled across the land, and Zeus took many
different forms to travel among mortals. The Norse gods
often crossed Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge, to travel among
their mortal worshipers.
Knowing that the gods are present and watchful may help
explain belief systems in your campaign. It may also serve to
keep some player characters in line. Just remember that if the
gods always appear to rescue the player characters, the
characters risk nothing. Without risk, success loses its savor,
and there’s no sense of achievement. Higher-level characters
are more important to the gods because they possess greater
capabilities as divine agents and forces for change. Such
characters need fewer rescues, yet they’re more likely to have
the gods’ attention.
Monotheistic systems usually don’t use the active option
because it may be difficult for a single god to be all the places
she needs to be all the time. Creating multitudinous servants
for the god overcomes this challenge and helps inject the
fantastic element that monotheism desperately needs in
fantasy roleplaying games. If you want an active monotheism,
create a “heavenly host” to assist the deity. Dualism faces
roughly half that challenge, since it has twice as many gods.
Divine agents for each deity can overcome the remaining
challenges again, or you can make the two gods distinctly
different by making one distant and one active. Active
animism is normal. Mystery cults of active deities may
regularly experience the physical presence of their patron or
one of their patron’s representatives. Active household and
local gods are more likely to get worship.
Active deities make hiding sins, heretical ideas, and
sacrilegious experiments a necessity for all mortals.
Simultaneously, the deities are vulnerable because they’re
present and active among mortals, so they hide information
about their weaknesses. If mortals discover this information,
the deities destroy it. If they miss a copy or a fragment, that
knowledge becomes lost rather than destroyed.

15
 Distant gods are effectively similar to indifferent gods.
Their teachings may indicate benevolence toward, interest in,
and even love for mortals, but their actions never affect
mortals. Many clerics and paladins serve divine forces rather
than specific deities, though some argue that the very
distance between the gods and their worshipers makes
devotion to them more important. When there’s a huge
glowing person down the street working miracles, you don’t
need faith. Belief isn’t necessary for something that’s
demonstrably present.
Positive and negative energy exist even when gods are
distant, so the decision has no effect on spontaneous casting
or on turning and rebuking undead.
It is possible to create a vibrant, compelling monotheism
with a distant god, but doing so requires some other
manifestation of the divine in the world. The forces of evil can
easily fill this role. If you personify evil in a single figure, you
approach dualism. It’s best to spread the evil out among the
demons and devils of the Abyss and Baator. Half-fiends
seriously outnumber half-celestials in such a system, and at
least one of the themes of the campaign should be dealing
with temptation. As mentioned earlier, one way to make gods
distinctive in a dualism is to make one active and one distant.
In an animistic system, distant spirits might as well not exist
at all.
Because they never see direct evidence that the gods exist,
most mortals develop a great deal of information about the
divine that’s simply incorrect. Hidden knowledge is often in
plain sight, buried among the reams of wrong ideas. While

enough to enforce a limitation on your gods.
In the D&D cosmology, there’s a limit to how distant gods
can be. Anyone capable of planar travel can reach the divine
realms and tug on a divine sleeve until she gets the god’s
attention (which might not be a good thing). Your cosmology
might place a barrier between the gods and mortals, making
reaching them more difficult but still possible.

16
Intercession
The possibility for intercession exists with active gods. Most
divine divination spells involve minor intercession (although
the interruption is so minor that answering a low-level
divination spell may require no conscious effort from the
deity). With distant gods, however, you must decide how
much intercession is truly possible. You can run a high-level
roleplaying game in which deities commonly appear for
whatever reason, but remember that too much interference
from the gods takes fun away from the players.
If a god can remove obstacles with a wave of his hand, no
heroic effort is needed on the part of the characters. The
player characters are heroic not because of the tremendous
powers they might or might not accumulate, but because of
the terrible risks they take in the face of imminent death. At
some point, the player characters may become
extraordinarily high-level and powerful. By that time, they are
probably comfortable with planar travel, or as comfortable as
anyone gets with such activity. Such games may lead the
characters into direct contact with gods on those powers’
home planes. The characters may even conflict with or
challenge those powers. Powerful characters are more likely
to catch a god’s attention, but they’re less likely to need divine
intervention.
Adventure Idea: A cleric turns a warehouse or an
abandoned building into a place of worship. People begin
flocking to the temple because the cleric appears to be able to
guarantee divine intercession. He never asks for money or
donations, but the growing congregation begins competing to
provide him with better accommodations, vestments, sacred
accoutrements, and even a new temple. When his worshipers
begin to disappear, suspicious player characters discover that
the cleric’s divine interventions are provided by devils cloaked
in illusions that have been gradually assuming influence in
and control over the city - using the souls of the congregation
to fuel the eternal blood war of the lower planes.

 Divine Politics
Deities have their own agendas and concerns. After all, the
biggest challenges they face are from their own kind. Ares
and Athena constantly compete for Zeus’s attention, and
squabble over the best way to fight a war. These politics
require a lot of any deity’s attention. Fortunately, these
politics are almost always not perceived by your player
characters, at first. Until the characters reach very high
levels, they lack the power to concern or threaten deities and
they rarely, if ever, interact directly with the gods. If the
characters in your campaign spend more and more time
communicating with their deities as they increase in levels,
spend some time developing the rivalries and politics of your
pantheon
Divine Meddling
The most important principle for the use of deities in a
fantasy roleplaying campaign is to employ them judiciously
and sparingly. Too much interference from the gods takes fun
away from the players. If a god can stop things on a whim,
there's no fun left for the players.
The D&D game is designed for a mortal level of play. The
player characters are heroic not because of the tremendous
powers they might eventually accumulate, but because of the
terrible risks they take in the face of imminent death. To use a
deity to save characters from those risks repeatedly is to sully
the heart of the game.
At some point, high-level characters may become
extraordinarily powerful. By that time, they are probably
comfortable with planar travel (or as comfortable as anyone
gets with such activity). Such games may lead the characters
into direct contact with gods on the deities’ home planes. The
characters may even conflict with or challenge those powers.
Most of the time, however, the activities of mortals carry on
without too much divine interference or even attention.

 What is an Outsider?
An Outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (But
not necessarily the material) of some plane of existence other
than the material plane. Some creatures start out as some
other type and become outsiders when they attain a higher
(or lower) state of spiritual existence.
Outsiders A creature of the Outsider type are from either the
upper or lower Outer Planes (And sometimes the Inner
Planes). A Few examples of these are Angels, Inevitibles,
Demons, Devils, Fey, Genies, and similar planar beings.
Petitioners are beings who have died and
worshiped/believed in particular deities and visited their
divine plane - these also count as Outsiders.
Native Outsiders A Native Outsider is from the material
plane and has connections to the Outer Planes (or the
Inner Planes). Examples of these include Tieflings,
Aasimar, Genasi, Gith, and others like them that are planar
touched, but with a strong connection to the prime
material.

Both Aasimar and Tieflilngs are Highly common examples

of Native Outsiders, as the intermingling of celestial and
infernal affairs with mortals has borne several generations of
these races.

While not all ascensions have a spark focus used, it definitely
makes the process of absorbing a Divine spark easier - as
attempting to inherit raw divine power by oneself with no
medium would be akin to swallowing a star and hoping their
body does not get consumed by the unbridled force.
A Divine Spark focus does not always need to be used
either, as some societies and empires have utilized the spark
focuses to maintain massive structures or spells for Eons,
some have even been passed down as sacred artifacts for
generations.
An example of such would be the Elven Race of old who
utilized "Mythallars" - which are magical constructs used to
create massive and overlapping magical effects - which
protected whole empires and allowed the flow of High Magic
by manipulating the Weave itself. Very rarely, versions of
these Mythallars would contain the essences of the collection
of hundreds or thousands of souls - which eventually
coallesced into a divine spark.
These Spark Focuses - whether they be Mythallars,
Legendary Weapons, Sacred Objects, or Extravagant Regalia
- are always massively expensive, and the more power they're
meant to hold, the more costly.

 Divine Spark Absorption
A Divine Spark is the essence of what makes a deity a divine
entity. It represents the consolidated energy of belief and
spiritual resonance in a physical manifestation. To behold a
divine spark in the flesh is akin to staring into a star that
bears with it a heartbeat that threatens to deafen and blind
you.
If souls could be considered the "flame" of a creature's
being, a divine spark would be more similar to a star. So great
is the innate energy of a spark that if those who are unworthy
come into physical contact with it, they may find themselves
bodily and spiritually torn asunder by it's grandiose power.
Regardless of whether one can physically maintain a divine
spark within their being, all those that attempt to absorb one
undergo the state of "Apotheotic Ascension" as their bodies
attempt to cope with the fluctuating raw power inside of them
- at the ending of which, their form will try it's best to
maintain that power without perishing.

"Art thou truly Worthy?"
Once the spark has been absorbed, the entity sheds their
initial mortality and walks away as something more.
If the spark isn't absorbed, then the creature is destroyed,
completely and utterly.

All this effort for nothing?

Many would consider the efforts of consolidating that much
energy into an object, only to have it ultimately destroy their
character to be an absolute waste of time.

The Fact of the matter is this: Not every being is meant to

become a god. As every Ascension takes place, the Overgod
Ao (The Godking of Divinity) weighs a mortal's actions with
their potential worthiness as a divine being.

Most of the time, a creature is not meant - by fate - to

become a god, Ao forbids it, and therefore they will not
ascend.

Many times a would-be god must have a sort of vouching

divine being to stand by the ascendee's side as they rise to
godhood (typically entities the character has presumably aided
throughout their lifetime in some fashion), this ensures a
greater chance of success, as Ao will take notice of the already
existing god's vote. And it goes without saying, the more
divine beings that vouch for your ascendence - the more likely
it'll take place.

In some rare instances, the mortal attempting ascension will

just downright fail. Regardless of the amount of vouching
entities. Sometimes this is just due to a lack of strength, or
Ao's overwhelming denial of their divine crowning.

Ultimately, it is up to the DM to decide whether or not the

character ascends. And can choose to have them succeed -
even if they fail the roll. (This can be achieved by a god
"reaching out" to stabilize the character right as they fail.)

Besides, if the character fails their ascension, they've still

 Worship and Piety A good mechanic to use for cases of rewarding worship is
utilizing the "Piety" function of the book "The Mythic

followers, many times a deity will often reward those who (Piety 50+) boon-like abilities or ability score
maintain continuous faith in them - granting them powers, improvements.
boons, spells, and similar abilities as a reward for their
service.

Optional Faith Mechanic: Piety

Being a god's champion carries no benefits in and of itself. Each god's description in this chapter paints a picture of the god's
typical champion, including ideas for how a player character might end up in that position and provides ideals that represent the
god's interests. The gods do reward the devotion of their champions, though. The strength of your devotion to your god is
measured by your piety score. As you increase that score, you gain blessings from your god.
Piety has nothing to do with faith or belief, except insofar as a person's thoughts and ideals drive them to action in a god's
service. Your piety score reflects the actions you have taken in your god's service - actions that the god richly rewards.
When you choose a god to worship as a beginning character, your piety score related to that god is 1. Your piety score increases
by 1 when you do something to advance the god's interests or behave in accordance with the god's ideals. The gods expect great
deeds from their champions, so your piety score typically increases only when you accomplish a significant goal (such as the
completion of an adventure), make a significant sacrifice of your own self-interest, or otherwise when the DM sees fit.
Each god's dogma typically includes a discussion of the god's goals and ideals, which your DM uses to judge whether you earn
an increase in your piety score. As a general rule, you can expect to increase your piety by 1 during most sessions of play,
assuming that you are following your god's tenets. The DM decides the amount of any increase or decrease, but a single deed
typically changes your piety score by only 1 point in either direction unless your action is very significant.
Benefits of Piety
The gods bestow favors on those who prove their devotion. When your piety score crosses certain thresholds - 3, 10, 25, and 50 -
you gain a benefit detailed in the sections describing the gods' champions.
There are generally 4 levels of piety: Devotee (at 3), Votary (at 10), Disciple (at 25), and Champion (at 50). If your piety score
exceeds and then falls below one of those thresholds, you lose the benefit you gained at the higher tier.
If you choose the Oracle supernatural gift, you gain different rewards for your piety score, instead of the ones normally granted
by your god. This gift and its benefits are described in chapter 1.
Inspiration and Piety
To some extent, piety is its own reward. Behaving in accordance with your god's dictates and ideals inspires you and might enable
you to succeed where you might otherwise fail. At your DM's discretion, whenever you increase your piety score, you might also
gain inspiration, reflecting the improvement in the harmony between you and your god.
Impiety
Not every hero chooses the life of a divine champion. Some races or peoples are known for rejecting the worship of gods. If you
don't devote yourself to a god, you don't have a piety score and you gain no rewards for piety, but you don't suffer any negative
consequences.
The Iconoclast supernatural gift (described in chapter 1 of The Mythic Odysseys of Theros) offers a way for characters to
gain benefits similar to rewards for piety without being devoted to a god.
Changing Gods
If events in your character's adventuring career warrant doing so, you can abandon the service of one god and turn to a different
one. Once you abandon a god's service, you can rarely go back without performing some act of contrition.
Your DM decides whether your new god will accept you as a champion and what you might have to do to prove your
commitment.
When you change gods, you lose all the benefits granted by your old one, including rewards for piety and any other divine
blessings. You no longer have a piety score to your old god, and your piety score to your new god starts at 1.

deities, as avatars or extensions of their will.

Not all races praise the gods - especially those whom the
gods seem to have abandoned, or were never involved with in
the first place. For many such people it is their own ancestry
that has taken the place or such beings. the Oaths sworn and
tenets passed down to them from uncounted generations
past. The clerics of these societies commune with their
ancestors, making sure the laws and oaths of the family are
upheld. They often serve as arbiters in matters of family
dispute. but beyond this they have a much greater duty:
shouldering the Vows made that yet remain unfulfilled, and
with the aid of the restless souls of those who swore them,
attempt to achieve in their life what those spirits could not,

The protection domain is the purview of deities who charge
their followers to shield the weak from the strong. The gods’
faithful dwell in villages and towns on the borderlands, where
they help bolster defenses and seek out evils to defeat. These
gods believe that a strong shield and a suit of armor is the
best defense against evil, second only to a stout mace on
hand to respond to any attacks in kind.

The balm of peace thrives at the heart of healthy

to resolve conflict and to stand up against those forces that
try to prevent peace from flourishing. See the Peace Deities
table for a list of some of the gods associated with this
domain.
Clerics of Peace preside over the signing of treaties, and
they are often asked to arbitrate in disputes. These clerics'
blessings draw people together and help them shoulder one
another's burdens, and the clerics' magic aids those who are
driven to fight for the way of peace.

find the advancement of technology a suitable element for

and material science to improve their lives and prospects.
Clerics of these gods are often craftspeople themselves,
always tinkering and creating contraptions of gears and
metal, glass and lightning, to perform various tasks, from
improbable to impossible. A cleric of Technology can find

heavenly music in your ears. Starting at 1st level you can use
an action to open your awareness to detect nearby treasure.
For the next minute, you know the location of any valuable
objects within 60 feet of you that are not protected from
divination magic. You know the value of any treasure whose

Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) and you regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.

material components.

were casting the 9th-level spell Gate - which requires a
diamond worth 5,000 gp - you could use your Divine Vault
feature five times at once to cover the material costs of the
spell, leaving you with two more uses per long rest.

PART 5
Divine Races
Divine Races

T
he meddling of the divine in the affairs of
mortals can sometimes be evident by
creatures and races that shouldn't exist under
natural circumstances. A few examples of
already existing creatures that were brought
about by supernatural actions can include such
races as the Aasimar and Tieflings - whose
very natures are defined by the interactions of upper and
lower planar beings with mortalkind.
Sometimes, though, these interactions can be far more
direct - as the Gods themselves can cause the existence of
beings considered wholly unnatural. Such as the fusing of
upper and lower planar energies into one immortal entity
that treads the lines between planes, or the existence of
beings of pure energy not seen since the dawn war itself.
Even moreso, at times the Gods will take a more ... intimate
approach with mortalkind: creating the offspring of a mortal
and divine nature; A Demigod.
Beyond Supernatural
The presence of any of these races - or the demigod -
immediately indicates the meddling of divine beings,
extraplanar entities, or the influence of high magic. If any of
these races are to appear in your world or campaign, it
indicates that something beyond the capabilities or power of
mortal hands is at work.
Use caution when allowing players to utilize these races as
playable races, as it will dramatically skew gameplay in the
direction of divine and supernatural creatures. Most civilized
societies will realize that the creatures presented are not
natural in the least - they will not know what they are, and
could only guess their true origins.
Even the player characters themselves may not inherently
know what they are. Perhaps a Blasphemy believes itself to
be a Corrupted Aasimar, or a Benevolent Tiefling. Maybe the
Primordite thinks itself as a chaos elemental merely trying to
cope with it's existence in the material world.
In regards to Demigods, it is much harder to hide their true
nature, but perhaps they just believe themselves to be an
outstanding version of the race they belong to - not even
knowing the powers they have hidden inside their bodies.
Regardless of how you incorporate these races into your
world, be prepared for adventures geared towards
supernatural creatures, ancient beings, and the gods
themselves - it would be inevitable.

127
 Blasphemy
A blasphemy - sometimes called a Nephalem in older and
esoteric tongues - is an semi-immortal being brought about
by the conjoining of celestial and infernal blood in a mortal
entity. The blending of the opposing positive and negative
energies produces a conflicted, yet powerful, being.
Blasphemies are often considered threats to cosmic
stability - as their powers outweigh celestials and fiends, and
both sides will seek to destroy them outright.
Blasphemies have highly conflicted natures, as their souls
feel pulled in every direction, and are often found at the
center of holy (or unholy) conflicts - whether from without or
within.
Celestial & Fiend
Blasphemies are derived mainly from mankind bloodlines:
such as elves, humans, and sometimes the occasional dwarf
(although it is possible - yet unlikely - to have one come from
another race). These folk appear as humanlike, but their
mixed blood and souls have a clear effect on their
appearances.
Blasphemies often have pale, grey or even pure jet black
skin, various shades of hair, and piercing, often glowing, eyes.
Some may even have small horns, or tails, the faintest halo,
or iridescent skin. They are often eerily beautiful, but Blasphemy Traits

Out of Place
There are few who can understand the strange dynamic a
demigod has with their godly parent so for a demigod to seek
out others of its kind is not uncommon despite the
uniqueness of their kind. However, of all the races that exist
within the world, the aasimar are a people whom demigods
feel the greatest connection towards. Their celestial origins
along with this shared sense of conflicted purpose cause
them to be largely understanding of each other and as such
demigods feel the greatest sense of community in these
societies. A sense that often becomes lost to them in their
early teens when they begin to manifest their divine powers.

Many beings, including typical mortals, have an innate
connection to the outer realm in which your godly parent
makes their home. Particular beings or creatures can tell of
the connection you and they both possess, most of the time
these are celestial, fey, fiends or other creatures like a
medusa or minotaur and their relationships with the divine
will normally affect their relationship with you.
For example, a celestial being that comes across you may
react to you in a variety of ways given the deity that created
them. They may see you like an angelic guide sees an
aasimar and approach you with an interest, driven by a sense
of responsibility or they may assist you in some minor way to
allow you to continue to forge your own path while also
gaining favor from your godly parent.
However, on the other side of the coin, they may react
violently to your presence as not all demigods are the spawn
of good-aligned deity's and seek to smite you or deal with you
in some other way. Fiends may try to use or trick you as part
of an attempt to gain more power. Fey may find you simply be
too interesting to pass up and mischievously follow you from
place to place - or even lure you into the feywild court to the
vast interest of the fey lords and ladies present.
Demigod Names
Demigods use the same naming conventions as the native
culture they were born into. A demigod born into and brought

Demigod Awakening
As a demigod goes through it's life, they rarely are aware of
their divine heritage - thus, a demigod only gains the entirety
of their divine race traits upon the realization of their
parentage.
This realization is called "The Awakening" amongst myth
and legend, and is a transformative state similar to a divine
apotheosis. The demigod now becomes fully aware of their
godly powers - where before they may have been able to
perform singular godly feats in times of extreme duress - now
they may be able to call upon the full span of their divine
capabilities on a moment's notice.
This awakening is - more often than not - brought about by
their godly parent revealing their true nature. This results in
the demigod gaining a variety of traits that reveal their
supernatural nature.
This marks the demigod as divine and they gain a dormant
spark - but they do not gain access to a divine rank 0 as a
quasideity until they reach level 20 (or when the DM
determines they have earned their true divinity). Upon
earning your divinity, you undergo the "Apotheotic
Ascension" - with advantage on the final save.

PART 6
Divine Powers
Powers of the Gods

I
t is no secret that the acts carried out by Gods are,
more often than not, the centerpiece of many a
legend, myth, and story - with many of their deeds
being seen as impossible miracles, disheartening
omens, and cataclysmic disasters.
While mortals may be able to exert their own
martial or magical prowess over the world using
their bodies and minds, a Deity is much more easily able to
manipulate the world on the basest of whims. If a god wills it,
then there is little that can be done to stop it.
Abilities beyond natural
Gods have a wide range of innate supernatural qualities to
begin with, but the way they control and manipulate reality
around them is the most awe-inspiring. This can be achieved
through 3 main groups of abilities: epic boons, epic
maneuvers, and divine feats.
Epic Boons
These abilities are already well known amongst the non-
divine, yet significantly powerful beings throughout the
worlds. As per the DM handbook:
Epic Maneuvers
"An epic boon is a special power available only to 20th
level characters. Characters at that level gain such boons Epic Maneuvers are a new variety of abilities similar to Epic

potential within particularly powerful individuals. These
boons can be gained through a multitude of powerful
happenings and circumstances - but more often than not can DM's Discretion
be brought about through incredible feats of power and Epic Maneuvers are incredibly powerful martial and
intense moments of duress. In even more rare occurrences, skillful abilities that may break the flow of battle in
these boons can be granted or bestowed by powerful entities, campaigns. And although Deities are indeed

to others that they may deem worthy of such power.

Granting Boons
As stated above, Deities (and other powerful entities) can
grant the Epic Boons they already possess as a powerful gift to
other beings or creatures they find worthy.

Doing so is easy, so long as the Deity already has that Epic

Boon themselves. However, a deity may grant other boons
that it does not possess via the "Alter Reality" Divine Feat
listed later in this chapter.

139
 Epic Abilities for Epic Mortals
Both Epic Boons and Epic Maneuvers are available for non-
divine entities, as it indicates the mortal's ever closer
transfiguration into a godly entity - and these abilities are
maintained by deities whenever they may be depowered or
returned to mortal status; and thus, these epic abilities are not
subject to Anathematic forces (I.E: They cannot be taken
away).

Divine Feats; however, are specifically only available to Gods

and God-like entities alone. No mere mortal can access Divine
Feats without first manifesting a Divine Spark - as it is the
engine for which these feats can be manifested.

Divine Feats
Godly power - feats and acts of incredible and vast ability that
can shake the foundations of worlds, and bend reality to their
whim.
Divine power is rarely able to be quantified in a way that
can be measured - but these abilities give the possibility of
what a divine creature can muster and maintain. Most Divine
feats are incredible in their size and scope, and may
fundamentally change how characters, creatures, regions,
and worlds may be affected - therefore these abilities are awe-
inspiring and incredible, and should be approached with
caution.
Some divine feats may even do more than their listed
effects - as divine power can cause ripples in reality and
create additional effects alongside the main ability.
For example: The divine feat "Alter Reality" may cause an
area where it is used to exhibit the effects of Wild Magic due
to the sudden ripple of energy in reality taking place.

 Genesis
12th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 7 days
Range: Sight
Components: V, S, M (A Crystal Sphere worth
10,000 gp, 12,500 gp worth of the four
foundational elements (fire, air, water, earth), and
the divine spark of a greater deity - all of which
the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
Over the duration of 7 days you create your own
world or plane with its own geography,
atmosphere, gravity and other properties. You must
spend 7 cumulative days creating your plane by
maintaining concentration, and must not leave the
plane - you may however, rest and eat as normal
within it.
You can add specific flora and fauna to it
according to your own knowledge. You cannot
have your plane contain anything you have never
seen or heard of before - such as a nuclear
reactors, non euclidean geometry, etc (unless your
DM states that you have previous knowledge of
such things). The radius of this world or plane is
3000 miles.
As part of being the creator of this location you
can use an action to change a 1-mileradius area of
it anytime after you have created it - including
changing basic structures, geography, atmosphere,
gravity, and flora or fauna.
The mineral wealth of this location cannot
exceed 1,000,000 gp. At the start you can only
create up to 1000 creatures with CRs lower than
10. These creatures are not necessarily friendly
towards you, but instead the creatures choose
whether to be friendly to you, based on how you
treat them. You can choose as much flora as the
area can provide as long as the worth of everything
does not exceed 1,000,000 gp and the CR of an
individual is lower than 10.
Describe your world or plane clearly to the DM
as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude
in ruling what is allowed for the world or plane.

Planar Effects
Consult the DM Handbook's section on the Planes to
determine if your Plane or world has additional effects similar
to the planes listed - such as Elysium's "Overwhelming Joy",
The Feywild's "Time Warp", the Abyss's "Corruption", etc.

Discuss with your DM as to whether or not the effects of

those planes could be feasible for your own.

Avatar
Prerequisites: Divine Rank 4 or higher
Avatars serve as deities' alter egos - fragment personalities
that effectively allow a god to be in two or more places at the
same time. You can use some of your very own divine energy
and pour it into a duplicate of yourself, albeit with lesser
divine energy. This avatar is an extension of yourself and you
know everything it senses and knows and vice versa. Each
avatar created counts as a remote sense location and you
may not have more avatars than you can create remote
sensories. If you were to use all of your remote sensories by
creating avatars, you may still produce one remote sensory
effect beyond your avatars.
It takes one year to create an avatar or replace a destroyed
avatar. The process does not require any special effort or
actions. Simply will it be done and the divine energies begin
to mold into your avatar. An avatar must be created in your
own godly realm and, after the year, it appears in your godly
realm.
If you also possess the Divine Creation divine feat, then
you may create a new avatar anywhere, other than godly
realms of other deities of equal or greater to your Divine
Rank. If you do so, the avatar must rest afterwards, as per the
Divine Creation ability's description.
An avatar is a less powerful version of a deity and not a
complete duplicate. Consider the following:
Divine Rank: Your avatar has a Divine Rank that is half of
your own (rounded down). The avatar's Divine Rank
characteristics are calculated with this new Divine Rank.
Otherwise, your avatar has your same statistics.
Divine Abilities: Your avatar has a number of divine feats
equal to its own Divine Rank. You may choose which divine
feats from the ones you have. An avatar cannot have divine
feats that its creator does not have. An avatar cannot have the
Avatar or Possess Mortal divine feats. Additionally, it does not
have any remote sensing or remote communication powers.

 The Forms of Rampancy
There are 2 forms of rampancy, which can be seen as sides of
a coin, and both forms are rarely discussed by deities unless
needed, as it is a very uncomfortable subject to admit that a
deity can lose control on the drop of a dime.
When Rampancy strikes a deity, there is a 50% chance they
will enter the Joy, or the Dark.
Rampancy Duration: 7d100 Days per Divine Rank (1d100
for Divine Rank 0)
Rampant Joy
The Joy (or Jovalius) can be seen as an utter abandonment of
reason or rulings, and is characterized by hyperactivity, manic
ideations of grandeur, and incredibly blatant disregard
towards divine doctrine.
Deities undergoing "Rampant Joy" take on incredible
technicolor forms, and tend to retreat to worlds on the
material plane - seeking to "spread the joy" almost like a
virus, which indeed can duplicate amongst the mortal
masses, resulting in widespread loss of logic and ludicrous
displays of hyperactivity and memory loss - which can also
lead to death. This form of rampancy also comes with deities

PART 7
Divine Objects
 Divine Objects

W
hile it is no surprise that gods command
immense power and abilities of their own
accord, many times a deity will create objects
with a shard of their own divinity and power
imparted into a physical form. Many deities do
this either to grant themselves more agency,
protection, or merely as a show of their own
divine strength.
These objects can be created in a myriad of ways, most
commonly through the "Divine Creation" feat listed earlier -
although that is not the only way to go about creating a Divine
Object. Sometimes the process of creating a Spark Focus to
help a mortal ascend to godhood will also inevitably create an
object that holds a fraction of the spark absorbed by the
ascending being. Other objects may be weapons or objects
used to fight deities - such as Anathematic items, which have
drawn the divine ichor from a god while in combat, and have
fed upon that raw divinity until it has transformed into an
item that is woefully powerful. In some rare cases, these
divine objects may even be naturally occurring nexuses of
natural divinity - birthed by overlapping natural forces of the
multiverse that coalesce into a singular item - such as the At times, the tree will allow a select few to gaze upon it's

 If Death’s Hand isn’t used to kill at least one creature every
24 hours, its wielder must make a DC 20 Charisma saving
throw. On a successful save, the wielder take 2d12 psychic
damage. On a failed save, the wielder is dominated by the
revolver, as if by the dominate monster spell, and Death’s
Hand compels the wielder to attack the creature nearest to
them. The spell effect ends when the gun has been used to
kill a creature, or if it is dispelled.
Random Properties. Death’s Hand has the following
random properties:
2 minor beneficial properties
1 minor detrimental property

When attuned, the revolver gains the following properties:

Sentience. The Reaper’s Hand is a sentient neutral evil

Charisma of 20. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range
of 90 feet.
The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder
and can speak, read, and understand Common, Deep Speech,
Infernal and Abyssal.
Personality. The revolver’s purpose is pure destruction
and death, and it revels in killing, whether calculated or
random. Its goal is to send continual sacrifices to Death itself,
and as such it frequently urges its wielder toward acts of
violence and murder, heedless of consequence or danger. Any
time it has been used to kill, it expresses satisfaction and will
usually stay quiet for a time.

the blade adopts a glowing translucent crystalline form. Personality. Excalibur speaks with an imperious tone,
although with an inflection of understanding and wisdom of a
king. The sword's purpose is to defend mortalkind and seek
the next rightful heir of a lost kingdom. It doesn't resist being
wielded by someone who is not meant to be king, if only to
further it's path to the rightful king. The sword believes that a
mortal who takes up arms against evil and destruction to be
worthy of it's power - and if they are true of heart and
righteous of purpose, that creature is destined to be king.
Excalibur has no qualms in fighting entities or gods, so
long as those entities pose a threat to other forms of mortal
life. Excalibur's desire for righteousness and the pursuit of
the true king takes precedence over all else. If the sword goes
a week or more without defending others or going on a
righteous quest, the sword will plane shift away upon the next
dawn.
Random Properties. Excalibur has the following random
properties:
2 minor beneficial properties
2 major beneficial properties
When attuned, the sword gains the following properties:
You gain a +5 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with
Excalibur.
The sword deals 5d8 + 5 slashing damage, or 5d10 + 5
slashing damage if held with two hands.
The sword is indestructible and immune to dispel magic
and similar effects.
The sword functions as a Sword of sharpness.
The sword ignores all damage resistances and
immunities.
When you make an attack against an object with this
weapon, maximize and double the damage.
Creatures reduced to 0 HP instantly fail 1 death saving
throw. Additionally, creatures killed with Excalibur cannot
be resurrected by anything short of a wish spell.
At the start of your turn, if you are unconscious or at 0 HP,
you immediately stabilize and are instead at 1 HP.
Excalibur exhibits a strange tendency to act on it's own in
times of extreme duress. When a creature attempts to use
Excalibur to accomplish an extraordinary feat; such as
make an impossible strike, survive an extremely powerful
blow, or stand against an incredible foe, Excalibur may
choose to have the creature roll a 20 on the skill check,
attack roll, or saving throw. This effect can't occur more
than once a week. (The decision to activate this
property is controlled by the DM, it generally triggers
in moments of narrative climax or drama.)

 Gáe Bolg, Spear of Mortal Pain
Weapon (spear), Divine Artifact (requires attunement)
The Gáe Bolg is a powerful, seven-barbed spear that is as
ancient as some of the oldest kingdoms, crafted from the
bones of a dead titan.
Forged by a powerful warrior god-queen: Scáthach, and
bestowed to a demigod barbarian named Cú Chulainn - who
used it to destroy a multitude of enemies and armies alike.
This spear has made and broken monarchs and rulers for
generations upon generations. Its name means "The Spear of
Mortal Pain," so it is natural to shudder at the sight of it in
enemy hands.
Random Properties. Gáe Bolg has the following random
properties:
2 minor beneficial properties
1 major detrimental property
When attuned, the spear gains the following properties
You gain a +4 bonus to all attack and damage rolls made

making them become vulnerable to piercing damage for 1
minute - taking 39 (6d12) piercing damage at the start of
each of their turns. On a successful save, the target takes
half damage, does not gain vulnerability to piercing
damage, and take no additional damage per turn.
The spear has 20 charges. All spent charges are regained
at dawn.
Storm of Thorns. As a bonus action, and by
expending 5 charges, you call upon the innate
natural powers of the spear. The next time you
throw the spear, the spear sprouts a rain of thorns
as it flies through the air.
In addition to the initial damage of the weapon,
the target and all creatures within 50 feet must
make a Dexterity Saving Throw DC 20, taking 5d10
piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much
on a successful one. This damage still bypasses all
resistance and immunity.

Gem of Becoming, The Holy Stone
Wondrous item, Divine Artifact (requires attunement)
Supposedly created by a group of gods during the rising of
the Dawn War, this gem is crafted from a sliver of the Stone
of Corbinet - otherwise known as the Material Stone - left
over from the destruction and subsequent resetting of the last
temporal cycle of the multiverse. The sliver has been encased
inside a shell of Orichalcum and embossed with various runic
sigils of protection.

 Venuralas' Mir, The Staff of
Sanctification
Weapon (quarterstaff), Divine Artifact (requires attunement
by a spellcaster)
A divine staff crafted by the Ancient Elven Empire while at
the height of their magic power. This staff was created to
allow physical communion with the Seldarine - the primal
elven deities.
Corellon Larethian came to a faithful elven cleric one night
in a dream, bringing the cleric to the fields of Arvandor.
Corellon expressed deep sorrow that his mortal children
would only reach paradise after centuries of mortal life -
requesting that the cleric seek out the best of the elven
smiths and mages of the land to craft an item that could
facilitate the blending of the divine into the material world - if
only for a short time.
The cleric followed his divine benefactor's instructions, and
over the course of several decades, gathered enough mages,
enchanters and smiths to craft a staff of incredible power.
Venuralas'Mir was birthed through elven true magic and the
magical communion of several hundred high mages.
The staff allowed the elves to sanctify areas upon the
material plane to allow their gods to walk freely amongst
their worshipers - but eventually was lost during Mystra's Ban
of high magic and fell into myth and story.
Random Properties. Venuralas'Mir has the following

Avaritia, Signet of Greed
Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a creature
who has inherited the mantle of greed)
This ring is one of 7 that corresponds with each of the
primal sins - this one embodies the sin of Greed.
This tarnished orichalcum ring is adorned with a smooth,
dark blood-red gem that houses an eons-ancient spirit of
possessiveness and desire of wealth and power. This ring
seeks to pull it's wearer to greater sources of power and
possessions, and will bestow upon them the ability to fulfill
that desire. The ring will refuse to be worn by any creature
who has not inherited the mantle of greed by teleporting

To inherit the mantle of greed, one must either have it
willingly bestowed upon them by the previous bearer, or must
have slain the previous bearer of the mantle.
Curse. The Pull of Greed. The ring carries with it an
unnatural want for material possessions, and demands to be
the centerpiece amidst great wealth. In order to remain
attuned to the ring, the wearer must sacrifice 1,000 gp of

This brilliant electrum ring is adorned with a plated tiger's
eye gem that houses an eons-ancient spirit of glory and
incredible arrogance. This ring thrives upon the thrill of
superior thought and action - whether it be truthful or not -
and will force the wearer to undergo great boasts and never

To inherit the mantle of pride, one must either have it

Ira, Signet of Wrath
Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a creature
who has inherited the mantle of wrath)
This ring is one of 7 that corresponds with each of the
primal sins - this one embodies the sin of Wrath.
This silver band is adorned with a faceted violet amethyst
gem that houses an eons-ancient spirit of vengeance and
rage. The ring seeks to embolden the inherent anger, rage,
and fury of the wearer, and bestows great power. The ring
will refuse to be worn by any creature who has not inherited
the mantle of wrath by teleporting away when attempted to
be donned.
To inherit the mantle of wrath, one must either have it
willingly bestowed upon them by the previous bearer, or must
have slain the previous bearer of the mantle.
Curse. The Weight of Wrath. The ring is supernaturally
heavy for it's simple size, and while worn it demands to be
soaked in the blood of a living creature every day. In order to
remain attuned to the ring, the wearer must kill a living
creature every 24 hours. If the ring is not soaked in blood
every day, the ring will become so heavy that the wearer's
speed will drop to 10 feet, until the ring is soaked in blood, it
will continue to be supernaturally heavy. After 24 hours of
failing to fulfill the curse, the ring unattunes and teleports
away to seek another.

This ornate dark iron ring is embedded with a pearly silver
gemstone that houses an eons-ancient spirit of excess and

Invidia, Signet of Envy
Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a creature
who has inherited the mantle of envy)
This ring is one of 7 that corresponds with each of the
primal sins - this one embodies the sin of Envy.
This black leaden ring is laden with a spherical jet
gemstone with a glowing slit - reminiscent of an eye - which
houses an eons-ancient spirit of resentment and covetous
conviction. This ring instills in it's wearer a deep resentment
for all those who achieve more than them, and pushes its
wearer to overthrow their peers. The ring will refuse to be
worn by any creature who has not inherited the mantle of
envy by teleporting away when attempted to be donned.
To inherit the mantle of envy, one must either have it
willingly bestowed upon them by the previous bearer, or must
have slain the previous bearer of the mantle.

 Luxuria, Signet of Lust
Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a creature
who has inherited the mantle of lust)
This ring is one of 7 that corresponds with each of the
primal sins - this one embodies the sin of Lust.
This exquisite filigree golden ring is inlaid with a sky blue
sapphire that houses an eons-ancient spirit of desire and
pleasure. This ring bestows an intense craving for fulfillment
of your deepest desires, and pushes it's wearer to experience
life to the fullest. The ring will refuse to be worn by any
creature who has not inherited the mantle of lust by
teleporting away when attempted to be donned.
To inherit the mantle of lust, one must either have it
willingly bestowed upon them by the previous bearer, or must
have slain the previous bearer of the mantle.
Curse. The Drive of Lust. The ring seeks to fulfill the
wearer's deepest desires through new experiences, and pulls
their wearer towards these situations. In order to remain
attuned to the ring, the wearer must fulfill the desires of one
humanoid creature every 24 hours. These desires can take
the form of carnal or sexual pursuits, the drive to experience
new things such as great food, vices, or magic, or may even While attuned to Luxuria, the ring bestows the following

Acedia, Signet of Sloth
Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a creature
who has inherited the mantle of sloth)
This ring is one of 7 that corresponds with each of the
primal sins - this one embodies the sin of Sloth.
This simplistic runed steel band is inlaid with a sickly pale
green peridot gem which houses an eons-ancient spirit of
indolence and exhaustion, and rewards those who indulge in
such sedentary practices. The ring will refuse to be worn by
any creature who has not inherited the mantle of sloth by
teleporting away when attempted to be donned.
To inherit the mantle of sloth, one must either have it
willingly bestowed upon them by the previous bearer, or must
have slain the previous bearer of the mantle.
Curse. The Apathy of Sloth. The ring indulges in the
feelings of excessive tiredness, laziness, and reluctance, and
gladly helps its wearer fulfill those feelings. In order to
remain attuned to the ring, the wearer must rest an amount
of time each day equal to twice it's typical resting time - this
can take the form of sleeping for most races, but for some
(such as elves), meditation or trancing is their form of rest. If
the wearer does not indulge in excessive rest every day, the While attuned to Acedia, the ring bestows the following

 Imperia, Seal of Ambition
Wondrous item, Divine Artifact (requires attunement by a
creature who has destroyed the 7 rings of sin)
This ring is believed to be a myth, but only the champions
of sin who have delved into the origins of the rings know it to
be fact.
This ring embodies the sin of Ambition - the Original Sin.
This extravagant alloyed ring is inlaid with a
labradorescent agate of swirling and shifting colors which
houses the conglomerated spirits of all 7 sins - working in
perfect harmony to achieve balance. This spirit is the
embodiment of the original sin of ambition: the pursuit of
power and divinity. The ring and the spirit within was severed
into seven pieces that took the form of the 7 rings of primal
sin.
The ring will refuse to be worn by any creature who has
not destroyed the seven rings of sin.
Curse. The Fall of Ambition. The ring exemplifies the
pursuit of power and majesty, and seeks to raise it's wearer to
