Divine Source, Gods and Demigods


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


So, am I understanding this correctly, a mythic player or NPC with only 3 mythic tiers can grant spells to followers? Doesn't that essentially make them demigods?

Shouldn't all the demon lords and empyreal lords have this ability then? Also, wouldn't this mean that gaining godlike powers is much easier than passing the Test of the Starstone?


While it does technically make them demigods they would be the lowest form of something resembling a demigod. Also, who said getting mythic power is easy?

Additionally, the starstone, while it can grant mythic power there is a a lot more going on with it than what is known.


The demon lords and empyreal lords' ability to grant spells is part of their "Demon Lord Traits" and "Empyreal Lord Traits"

The only godlike power you gain with Divine Source is the ability to grant spells. This is vastly inferior to the power of a true deity.

And the ability to cast domain spells as SLAs. Counting as a deity also means you can laugh off antimagic fields, so it's not the only ability you gain.

Divine Source deities seem more like hero-gods than they do full-bore demigods (since all those are CR 25+).


Are you saying that a PC with Divine Source would ignore an Antimagic Field?

The technical term for it is quasi-deity. You're not a demigod until at the very least you grant 4 domains, and maybe not even then.

It does not allow you to ignore antimagic fields.
