Demigod (3.5e Template)

Demigod (3.5e Template)

3e Summary::The effects of one of your parents being mortal and the other immortal.

A demigod in appearance is merely an exceptional specimen of his mortal parent's race, stronger and more fair than all but a few.

Demigods are not like lesser mortals. While most people exist complacently somewhere between good and evil, content to putter along in their dull lives exhibiting neither great heroism nor dastardly villainy, a demigod is never ordinary to anything more than passing observation. They may indeed go many years at time without doing anything noteworthy, but they infallibly either prove themselves the most selfless and noble of saints or the most depraved and demonic of persons. Being as they are far greater in capacity for good or ill than mortals, there is ultimately little in way of grey about their personalities.

A demigod has an immense impact on his or her surroundings. Their emotions and moods are not contained to to their own self. Even if a demigod is sitting silent and unseen, lesser beings around him will be influenced by strong emotions he experiences. A jubilant demigod passing through town, greeting cheerily the people he passes, may inadvertently cause a regular festival to appear in his wake, while a demigod fuming silently may accidentally start a riot.

gollark: Simple decision trees *are* responding to/analyzing the outside world (well, game world), and I think some of the not-really-AI algorithms do an imagination-like thing of simulating various possible futures and picking the action which produces a lot of the better ones.
gollark: <@199529131224989696> I was thinking about stuff recently, and you know when you said `allow for introspection, imagination and probably also analysis of the outside world` when I asked `What does consciousness actually do, though?`Maybe you would need some form of consciousness, whatever that is, for introspection, but you don't for "imagination" and "analysis of the outside world". You can do those with simple "AI" like we use for games.
gollark: !txet sdrawkcab em eviG
gollark: Unfortunately.
gollark: Yes, xkcd advertised it some years back.
