Mythic (5e Sourcebook)/Mythic Ascensions

As a DM, once you feel that your players have been rewarded with enough epic boons, you can start rewarding them with mythic ascensions instead.

At this stage, the player characters are demigod-like creatures whose names will resound for thousands of years across multiple planes. The characters are no longer receiving blessings from greater beings, but manifesting their own divine essence.

Mythic ascensions are awarded with the same principle as epic boons: after completing a narrative milestone such as destroying an artifact or defeating a powerful creature. If you are using ascensions as a form of advancement, consider awarding one mythic boon to each character for every 200,000 XP they earn.
