“I have no idea why it chose me, honestly. And there have been some days that I wished it hadn’t. But we all have our burdens, I suppose. And mine’s hardly something to complain about.”
– Embry Burrows, Blessed Brawler
Throughout the course of their adventures, heroes and villains alike find themselves before beings of tremendous power. Not quite gods but certainly far beyond mortals, these creatures come from a variety of backgrounds and planes, from the celestial to the abyssal, from the sylvan to the necrotic.
The experiences that come from crossing paths with these entities vary as much as the beings themselves, and although it’s almost universally agreed that it’s far safer to avoid any such meetings to the fullest extent possible, these risky encounters offer the opportunity to gain truly wondrous gifts.
The following is an example of a new play option called wondrous gifts. These gifts are granted very rarely and typically only after some sort of extraordinary circumstance or event that the player has survived. Each wondrous gift comes with its own mechanical prerequisites and enhancements, as well as drawbacks that the player may face as a result of their new gift.
This supplement includes:
- The mechanics and lore for a new play option to add to your games, wondrous gifts.
- The Benevolence, or the Light of Ehlundia, and the powers and responsibilities this celestial blessing provides.
