Divine Heritage


Homebrew and House Rules


Moving this over from Advice forum as the focus is starting to shift towards homebrewing.

I'm working on a few homebrewed idea for a campaign. One of them is the following: in this campaign, there is a Demigoddess, who had children before her Ascension. That specific family or bloodline, while not Divine per se are blessed by their Divine Ancestor.

I was looking in creating a Racial Feat or a Trait (Racial), maybe even an Alternate Racial Trait that could be taken at character creation to represent that Heritage. As much as possible, I would like to avoid Feat chains.

So I came up with this idea:

Scion of the [Goddess]

You can trace your lineage up to the Demigoddess herself through the children she had before her Ascension. Although not Divine you are Graced by her.

Prerequisite: [Race], must be taken at 1st level.
Benefits: you gain a +2 circumstances bonus (?or racial bonus?) On all Charisma-based verbal skill check when dealing with members of your own race or members of [Goddess] Church. You are also proficient in the Goddess favored weapon.

Now the question here would be: Does that seem good? Or is it too little or too much for a Feat? If too little, what could be added?

I'm also open to other suggestion.


Depends on what the favored weapon is. As long as its not a good exotic weapon like the falceta its fine. If the weapon is exotic you may consider the trait letting you treat it as martial.

It should give a trait bonus like other traits to prevent stacking shenanigans.
