Feats
Comments from the Finger: Full disclosure: this one is the Palm’s creation; I merely touched it up and sanded off some rough edges. But here it is! A feat chain to make your very own Hercules or Kratos stand-in.
Demigod Feats
Though the gods of Mt. Olympus are infamous for their half-god progeny, the avatar of any god can bear children on the mortal plane. Their descendants are demigods — neither celestials, nor gods, nor mortals — possess incredible godly potential. Such demigods can become mighty, near-indestructible heroes, legendary archers with uncanny aim, or genius mages with unbound arcane power.
Demigod
Demigods are the product of a union between a god or goddess and a mortal. While mortal, demigods are bestowed with unnatural grace, beauty, strength, or other trait granted by their parentage. Sometimes, these powers are inherent in a demigod from infancy, but often they don’t begin to manifest until adolescence.
You can choose this feat as a Near-Human feat.
As a demigod, you have the following racial traits:
- Select one of your ability scores; this is your Mythic ability score. Increase this ability score and its maximum by 1.
- With great exertion, you can perform a mythical feat of strength or skill. You gain a single Mythic Die, which is a d8. Whenever you make an ability check, saving throw, attack roll, or damage roll you can roll this die and add the results to the roll. You can do so after you make your d20 roll, but before you know if it succeeds or not. You regain one expended Mythic Die when you finish a short rest and all expended Mythic Dice when you finish a long rest.

You have lept into your role as a demigod with gusto, seeking out adventure and using your power to bring ruin upon your foes. You gain the following abilities:
- Increase your Mythic ability score and its maximum by 1.
- You gain an additional Mythic Die. When you add your Mythic Dice to an ability check, saving throw, attack roll, or damage roll, you can choose to roll as many of them as your have available, adding all dice to the results of the check.
- While you have at least one unspent Mythic Die remaining, you have a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws.

Legendary Hero
Prerequisite: 15th level, Will of the Gods or Champion of the Gods feat

- Once per round, at the end of another creature’s turn, you can spend one of your Mythic Dice to take a Legendary Action. This action can be used to take the Attack action (one attack only), to cast a cantrip, or to move up to your movement speed.
