ways, and parenting children to live among

Dthem and do them justice is most definetly one
of them.
Finding their Way in 2 worlds
Demigods often feel trapped between the world of mortality
and the world of the divine. Their divine parent may task
them with errands and quests they must fulfil for divine favor,
while their mortal home is under siege and they feel the need
to defend it.
The Strength of Divinity
Demigods are powerful alone, but not as powerful as some
may think. Divinty comes at the cost of attracting monsters,
so divine parentage can often be limited in what abilities they
get, so most Demigods are only equally as powerful as their
non-divine counterparts in some cases. Still, having a little bit
of divinity never hurt anyone (Said no one ever).

Demigod Physical Appearance

Demigods are typically found in the more human
looking races (Human/Elf/Dwarf/etc), Demigods
can be of any race. However if you choose this
race, you forgo the stats of the desired race for the
stats of a Demigod. (ex, you want to play an Elf
Demigod, you do not use the elf stats, the Elf
description is merely for roleplay/aesthetic
purposes)

Change Log

Overall
Skill Proficiency Removed Skill Proficiency and
replaced it with 1d4 to particular skill checks, as it
works more thematically with the idea od
Demigods, as well as makes the class features less
boring
Strength In Numbers Added it from the Solidarity
Sub-race to the main race,as it works more
thematically, and is a unique ability for each sub-
race to be able to use

Subraces
Removed Removed Zeal, Solidarity, and Strength,
as I didnt feel confident in them as sub-classes, as
well as some of the abilities being too powerful/not
nearly powerful enough to warrant an entire
subrace around it
Changed Aid From Beyond from giving you spells
to the feature from Monk of the Long Death, minus
trhe Wisdom Modifier. I think thematically, it fits,
but it isnt super
