ARCHTYPE: Aspirant

Aspirants welcome many gods to their pantheon, as long as they all accept the central dogma that people can and should strive to improve themselves, and that any mortal has the potential to become divine.

Different sects preach different paths to godhood, and so pervasive is the religion that the concept of self-perfection has filtered into religious movements that aren’t formally recognized by the faith.

Traditional Clericists encourage people to master whatever drives them and to face ever greater challenges, earning the adulation and perhaps even worship from those who witness their deeds. 

Some claim that people should strive for freedom, and that the path to divinity requires an understanding of all possible skills so one can do literally anything. Others claim that, because the fey lords of the Unseen Court are themselves gods, those with aspirations toward godhood should reject their personal identity, and attempt to conceal their true capabilities by acting with grand whimsy, with the ultimate goal of letting others imagine you as greater than you actually are.

FEATS & FEATURES

Darkvision. Having your ancestral origins in the twilight realms, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. 

Fey Ancestry. You gain an expertise die on saving throws against being charmed , and magic can’t put you to sleep . 

Trance. Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining conscious (the Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that became reflexive through years of practice. When you take a long rest , you spend 4 hours in your trance state (instead of sleeping for 6 hours). During the trance you suffer no penalty to passive Perception. A long rest remains 8 hours for you as normal, and the remainder of the time must be filled only with light activity. 

Glance the Future. Your eyes can see a few moments into the future, and your mind apprehends the divergent possibilities. Once between rests  you can use a bonus action to roll a d20 and record the result. Before the end of your next short or long rest , when a creature you can see within 60 feet makes an ability check , attack roll, or saving throw , you can use your reaction to replace their roll with your recorded result. When the creature is also rolling an expertise die , only the d20 roll is replaced. When the creature is rolling more than one d20, such as when it has advantage or when a halfling is using their Lucky trait, the replacement applies to the creature’s final roll.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest .

---

Bonus Connection. The wandering herald who rescued you as an orphan and sponsored your entry into your temple.

Detect Faith. You are trained to detect even the most subtle indications of a person’s religious perspective. After you speak with a person for at least 1 minute, you can use an action to make either an Insight or Religion check opposed by their Deception check. On a success, you learn the following information about them:

• Whether they have a lower Wisdom score than yourself.
• Whether they are religious; if so, you also learn their faith.
• Whether they have class levels in the cleric or herald class. 

Devotion. You gain an expertise die on saving throws made to resist being charmed or frightened . 

Arts of Worship. You are proficient with your choice of either Performance, two musical instruments, or two artisan’s tools.

Religious Education. Your community is steeped in scripture, song, and storytelling. You are proficient in the Religion skill and know one cantrip of your choice from the cleric, druid, or herald spell list. Your spellcasting ability score for this cantrip is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (whichever is highest).

Siblings in Faith. You have advantage on checks made to socially interact with members of your current or former faith, such as when requesting services or gathering information.

---

SACRED ARCHERY You gain proficiency with light armor, medium armor, and ranged martial weapons.

CLERICAL CHARISMA Crowds find your public presence irresistible. You gain proficiency in the Performance skill. Whenever you use Performance to deliver a sermon or to sing holy songs in a town or city, even on a failed check other than a natural 1, you still attract a crowd of people no smaller than your spell save DC.

POSSIBLE TALENT

It is easy to imagine how by taking a different course in life one could have ended up with an entirely different set of skills.

At 1st level, you can invoke this truth for yourself or reveal it to others with a brief prayer. Spend an action and choose yourself or a creature within 30 feet. That creature gains proficiency in a weapon, armor, skill, tool, language, or vehicle of your choice. This effect lasts until you take a short or long rest . After you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you take a short or long rest.

FIGHTING FITNESS 

At 1st level, you combine your divine power with some of the martial arts techniques of an adept, the practice of which keeps your body healthy.

You gain the following benefits:

• While you are unarmed and you aren’t wearing armor or using a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.
• You can roll 1d8 in place of the normal damage for your unarmed strike. This benefit does not apply to the Martial Arts or Focus class features of the adept. You can treat your unarmed strike as a weapon for the purpose of the domain spell blinding smite.
• When you use the Attack action and hit with an unarmed attack, you can spend a bonus action to cause your body to glow briefly with holy power. If you do, that attack deals 2d6 extra radiant damage. The radiant damage increase to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 17th level. You can surge with holy power a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest .

 

APPEARANCE

Naeron possesses medium, coal-black hair that cascades down to his jaw, contrasting beautifully against his pale green skin. His pointed ears, characteristic of Wood Elves, peek out from beneath his hair, adding to his ethereal appearance. His eyes are a piercing yellow, glinting with intelligence and a hint of mystery.

Standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing a lithe 130 pounds, Naeron exudes a sense of agility and grace. His slender frame belies the strength and discipline honed through years of martial training and spiritual exploration.

Attire:

Naeron's attire reflects his monkish background and the blending of his elven heritage with his chosen path. He wears a traditional monk's vestment made of pale blue fabric adorned with intricate yellow patterns, symbolizing the harmony between air and earth—elements revered in elven culture. The vestment is tailored to allow freedom of movement, essential for martial arts practice.

Underneath his vestment, Naeron sports simple yet durable clothing suited for travel and combat. His choice of attire is practical yet respectful of tradition.

Demeanor and Presence:

Naeron carries himself with a calm and composed demeanor, embodying the tranquility and discipline characteristic of a monk. His movements are fluid and purposeful, indicative of the rigorous martial arts training he has undergone.

Despite his reserved nature, Naeron's eyes betray a keen intelligence and an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. He approaches interactions with a thoughtful and contemplative attitude, always seeking to learn and understand.

Equipment and Tools:

In addition to his monk's vestment, Naeron carries essential travel gear, including a sturdy backpack containing provisions, a water skin, and other necessities for the road. He also carries a quarterstaff, his primary weapon and a tool of his martial training.

Attached to his belt is a pouch containing herbs and incense used for meditation and spiritual practices. Naeron often utilizes these items to enhance his connection to the divine and deepen his understanding of the mystical forces that permeate the world.

 

BACKSTORY

Naeron was born and raised in Par Celundi, a beautiful elven city that was one of the last bastions of a once-great empire. His life was steeped in tradition and the pursuit of elven arts. However, everything changed when a missionary of his own kind arrived in Par Celundi, preaching a philosophy of self-discovery and divine enlightenment.

Intrigued by the missionary's teachings, Naeron abandoned his comfortable life and family to pursue a deeper understanding of his own potential. He journeyed to the pastoral region of Endora, where he joined a communal religious group that emphasized self-improvement and unlocking the divine spark within oneself.

Under the tutelage of a wise martial arts master within this community, Naeron's path took a unique turn. This master blended physical prowess with spiritual discipline, teaching Naeron a form of combat that sought to harmonize body and soul. The martial art was said to unlock latent divine energies within practitioners, blurring the boundaries between mortal and divine.

Years of disciplined training and meditation followed, during which Naeron developed exceptional martial skills and a keen spiritual awareness. However, tragedy struck when his master suddenly passed away under mysterious circumstances, his body vanishing without a trace. Naeron was convinced that his master had achieved enlightenment, transcending mortal limitations.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to unravel the mysteries of his master's fate, Naeron set out on a quest. He seeks to follow in his master's footsteps, believing that the key to surpassing mortal constraints lies in experiencing the world firsthand and reveal the secret of world before the cataclysmic event of the Elven Empire.

 

 

ALLIES & ORGANIZATIONS

The revered martial arts master who taught you everything, who mysteriously vanished. Somehow, his spirit still wander the mortal plane.

The wandering herald who converted him and sponsored his entry into the religious community.
