Lineage of a Deity
You may choose a Greek god that bore you your godly heritage. Once per day you may ask this god for help, if it is within their realm of influence, they must oblige.

Strength of Olympus
Where others may fall, you aren’t slain so easily. You endure even the toughest of battles.

Death Saving Throws
When you are at 0 HP, you are immediately stabilized and do not need to make any death saving throws.

(You are still killed if you are damaged after going unconscious, or the blow that knocks you unconscious exceeds your max HP)

Proficiencies
You are proficient in unarmed strikes (add Strength modifier + Proficiency bonus)

Unlucky Blood
Seem OP? That balances out with your terrible luck. Once per day, you must roll a d6. Each number represents one of your abilities. Whichever number it lands on, you have disadvantage on all checks with that corresponding ability for the day.

 

Achilles Heel (optional)
You may choose one godly power from the list of powers for the god that is your parent, or customize one. You have one charge to this power that resets every long rest. At 3rd level you have two charges, at 5th you have three, at 8th you have 4.

If you choose to do this, you must also pick a type of damage that you are vulnerable to.
