When a hero completes his or her legendary domain feat, the hero becomes immortal and gains powers on a level similar to the Five Gods. The hero is essentially a demigod and can remain on the prime material plane. The hero is unable to grant spells to their followers until they ascend to true godhood. Meanwhile, the hero gains the following abilities:

  • Divine Attribute. Choose an ability score. This ability score is increased to 30.

  • Immortality. If you die, you return to life at a temple or shrine dedicated to you of your choice.

  • Ascension. At any time, you may choose to ascend to the heavens and become a lesser god.

  • Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If you fail a saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead.

If the hero decides to ascend, they effectively leave the mortal plane and become bound to one of the divine planes of existence. Heroes may choose to delay their ascension for as long as they please. They might still have pressing business on the mortal plane. Divine Responsibilities When a hero decides to ascend to godhood, they must retire their character. Gods have responsibilities to attend to which are beyond the scope of this book. However, they should become permanent fixtures of the Thylean pantheon, and future characters may choose them as a patron god or goddess.
