Divine Blood Feat

[Samloyal23]

So this is a feat for my Last Lands campaign. The idea is that some people in Valora and Irium are descended from Olympian gods. I am interested in expanding it to include other gods and titams. Any suggestions?

Divine Blood [General]
You are the half-mortal offspring of one of the Olympian gods. Artemis, and Hera are not options for divine parentage. (Artemis is a virgin goddess and Hera is the goddess of marital fidelity.)
Prerequisites: Cha 13+, must be a 1st level character, must be from Valora or Irium.
Benefit: You get a +1 racial bonus to Will saves. In addition, depending upon which Olympian's blood flows in your veins, you gain the following extraordinary ability as a benefit:
Aphrodite: +2 on all Charisma based skill checks
Apollo: Permanent endure elements.
Ares: Damage reduction 1.
Athena: You can add your Int modifier to melee attack rolls, in addition to your Str modifier.
Demeter: +4 racial bonus on saving throws against disease and poisons.
Dionysus: +2 bonus on saving throws against drugs and poisons, professional (farmer) and craft (winemaker) are always class skills for you.
Hades: +2 racial bonus on saving throws against necromancy spells or to resist ability score loss.
Hecate: +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells or spell-like abilities.
Hephaestus: Fire resistance 3.
Hermes: Permanent know direction.
Poseidon: +2 racial bonus to Swim checks and Handle Animal checks involving horses, cold resistance 3.
Zeus: Electricity and sonic resistance 3.

Some of those are a bit good - Athena immediately springs out.

Would this not be better as a +1 LA template?

Ya, 3e gets in trouble when it allows attribute bonuses to be used for other things. It is too easy in the game to get ridiculous attribute bonuses.

 

[Dandu]

Apollo, Ares, and Hermes do seem rather underpowered.

Offhand, you could try:

Apollo: +1 damage on ranged attacks.
Ares: +1 to critical threat range.
Hermes: +5ft movement speed.

Indeed, I think they need more umph. I think my list is too short, any other gods I should add? How about some titans?

Prometheus: Burning hands as an 1/day SLA.

Prometheus: Burning hands as an 1/day SLA.

Nice. But Prometheus was also a god of forethought and reason. Hmm.

Prometheus: You gain the ability to cast Burning Hands 1/day as a Wizard of your character level and and a +1 bonus on all Wisdom based skills. Once per day you can make a Wisdom check to realise a plan of action is a bad idea.

Hmm. Something like that...

 

[Dandu]

Honestly, the bonus on wisdom based skills alone is enough.

How about a something more subtle, like a +1 DC to all fire spells and divinations?
