Demi-gods

Demi-gods are the first thing most think of when they think of deities walking on the mortal planes, these exusians are the product of a hero-god elevated in status, a child between a deity of lesser status or higher, or by the recognition of a patron deity. They have immortality, something hero-god's lack, and some can even grant small boons to their worshippers if they have any. Demi-gods are some of the exusians which won't usually have any worshippers and those that they have are few in numbers but devote.

## Description

Demi-gods, be they born of a more powerful god are elevated in status from mortal or hero-god, are extremely attractive handsome and beautiful upon any eyes which see them and charismatic beyond compare. Unlike their lesser, demi-gods do have a divine aura based on their domain (demi-gods are only powerful enough to have hold over one domain), which is an easy way to tell a demi-god from a more powerful god as more powerful gods will simply have a goldish aura. In addition, the intensity of the aura is somewhat duller than that of a greater god due to the demi-gods lesser power.

## Abilities

They are less powerful than other god-hood status' but have a number of basic abilities which all gods have with the added ability to grant boons or magical abilities, these basic abilities are: improved strength, improved speed, improved hearing, celestial nature, protection from good and evil, enhanced intelligence, and enhanced memory. Additionally, they have the ability to levitate at will gain by their enhanced divinity. Demi-gods also have innate spells which they can tap in on at any time so long as they are able to preform any Somatic or Verbal components, these spells are: Protection, Mending, Remedy lesser wound, Martial Prowess, Comprehend Languages; of course there is a limit to how many times these spells can be cast but it is unknown entirely what that limit is.

For abilities in martial combat, a demi-god receives a certain boon in martial knowledge upon ascension in addition to the enhanced understanding of martial tactics a hero-god would gain upon ascension. They a certain gained prowess derived from their enhanced speed, strength, and hearing which allow them better performance in combat situations.

Like their lesser divine counterparts; the celestials; demi-gods have immunities, resistances, and vulnerabilities to certain elements, magic types, and damaging effects, these include: Immunity to charming spells, resistance to poison, acid, fire, cold, paralysis, and petrification, and vulnerability to necrotic damage. Unlike their lesser in status gods, the hero-gods, they do not require food, water, or sleep, but can still eat and drink water if they wish and enter a meditative state somewhat similar to sleep; though they are still entirely aware of their surroundings with their enhanced sound. Additionally, demi-gods are immune to all non-magical illnesses and diseases as per their divinity.

## Worship

Demi-gods don't typically have worshippers though they are respected for their divine status by many there are few that devote themselves to a demi-god, especially exclusively. If they are afforded any sort of worship it will be in tandem with their sponsoring god or will coincide with a recent great deed that they have done. For those that specifically devote themselves solely to a demi-god are few and far between though they do exist and their worship is often tenfold in. However, even if they do have devote worshippers, their power is not increased as it may be in the case of idol-gods and other more powerful deities.
