# Scion
The mammoth devil stands before the adventurers, he has attempted to claim the city for the Nine Hells but this group has managed to thwart his plan time and time again. In the front line stands a man wearing only a robe, a shield and a sword, this man has a relaxed demeanor because he knows what he is up against. As the devil charges violently, the adventurer makes a swift movement where he channels the divine spark withing him marking the objective with a golden sigil at his feet giving him a tactical insight on his foe.

Undetected, the high elf stares at her target from the rafters. She knows these men and women are dissidents of the church and she waits for their leader to show up, it is a just a matter of time. The moment he shows up, she uses the shadows to appear right behind him and killing him instantly. Now she just needs to remember the way out or else she is dead.

Rumors speak that these men and women are born with the divine spark within giving them unrivaled power. Others speak of the divine agents as deadly myths to keep their children in check. Whatever the truth is, they are beings to be reckoned with.

Scions do not depend on an oath or hours of praying, they study both martial techniques that allow them to be incredibly talented with all weapons and holy scriptures that help them channel the power of their gods.

### Students of faith
Legends speaks that the first scions were scholars who dedicated their time studying holy and unholy scriptures, trying to tap into the very essence of creation. After decades searching for the origin of the power of the gods, they learned how to channel that sacred power turning them into the perfect agents for their church. So many suspect that the hours spent reading and meditating is a form of praying but it really a way in which they are connect to that ancient power.

Meanwhile, others speak that the hours of study spent by scions is them trying to channel the power of celestial beings, fiends or even the fae. Whatever the reason one thing is agreed upon, only scions know the origin of their powers and even then only a few truly understand the source of their powers as some are manipulated by the leaders of their churches to do tasks not in the name of their god but for the benefit of the church.

### Dreams to a greater purpose
The fact that scions tap into the very source of power wielded by the gods gives scions vision of their purpose in this life. While these visions reveal their sacred tasks by the way of dreams, they can be of many things like dark futures where evil has ravaged the world leaving it as a desert wasteland, forgotten relics that will empower their god to become the ruler of the pantheon or even a lonely tavern where the scion will find a young tavern keeper that will send him on the adventure of a lifetime.

\columnbreak

Whatever personal objective they strive to achieve, in the end everything they do is in the name of their church and while some churches try to twist the meaning of the divine message for personal gain, the dreams always push them towards the path they must follow and so scions must try and understand their dreams to follow the message sent by their guides.

### Creating a Scion
When creating a scion, think about what deity or church is the one you serve and how do you serve this order because this will help you chose a sacred task down the line.

Once this is done think about your characters motivations. What alignment do you use to fight the enemies of your church? Did your god chose you or did you study to become a scion? How was your training like? What are your dreams like, are they visions of a dark future or something to seek? What types of tasks are you sent to by your order? Did someone try to distort the meaning of your dreams to turn you into a weapon?

As a bonus action, you can expend one of your spell slots to place a seal on a creature you can see within 30 feet for 1 minute.

Once per round, whenever you deal damage to the target you may choose to deal an additional 1d4 damage of the type of your Planar Source plus half your Intelligence modifier rounded down (minimum +1). Alternatively, you may consume the seal to inflict 1d8 damage of the type of your Planar Source plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot used to create the sigil. You can only do one type of damage during your turn.

In addition, the target creature does not gain any benefit against you because it is invisible or hidden.

You can only have one seal active per creature. When you consume a seal the creature is no longer under the effects of the sigil and and is no longer considered sealed.

This feature's extra damage, not the seal's damage when it is consumed, increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d6 at 7th level and to 1d8 at 14th level.

#### Planar Source
Through your rigorous study of the planes and religious texts, you have learned how to tap into one of the sources of power wielded by the gods. Choose one of the following: Good, Neutral, Evil.

You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

#### Protection

At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.

### Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to use your divine heritage to grant you divine magic to cast spells.

#### Spell Slots
The Scion table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your scion spells. To cast one of your spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield of faith and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield of faith using either slot.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, since your power derives from the study of players and knowing how to use your divine power. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell save DC =** 8 + your proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier.
  
**Spell attack modifier =** your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
</div>

\pagebreakNum

The time spent represents the amount of time needed by the scion so they can meditate and study the new spell in order to master it, but in addition to this they must have a scroll, spellbook or any other written way of studying the spell. The source of the spell becomes unusable after this, turning the page into dust.

Every scion follows a strict life of study, meditation and devotion to their task but each takes a different path, some use the shadows to pursue their task, others use magic to channel the judgment of their god, while some might use their power assisting others, and finally, some use their martial prowess to smite those who oppose their church.

Any creature, other than you, that ends their turn in the mist take 2d8 fire damage and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take an additional 2d8 psychic damage as well as gaining disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of their next turn as the voices of the damned cloud their mind.

#### Mist of Sacrilege
*3th-level necromancy*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** Self (20-foot radius)
- **Components:** V, S, M (a drop of fiendish blood)
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
A red mist full of negative energy surrounds you with a 20-foot radius. Until the spell ends, the mist moves with you, centered on you. If a creature (except you) starts their turn in the mist, they take 2d6 necrotic damage and you gain hit points equal to half the damage dealt.

#### Sigil of Judgement
*1st-level enchantment*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** 30 feet
- **Components:** V, S, M (a pinch of blessed salt)
- **Duration:**  Concentration, up to 1 hour
___
You place a sigil on a creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, whenever the creature wishes to speak a lie it must first make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is dealt 1d6 force damage.

An affected creature is aware of the spell and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such creatures can be evasive in its answers as long as it has this sigil on it.

Additionally, you can spend your bonus action to force the creature to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is dealt 1d6 plus your spellcasting ability modifier force damage.

***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
