## General

Nephilim are the offspring between any other race, excluding Demons and Djinn, and any ranking Angel. Typically, Nephilim have no knowledge of their parentage until they either spontaneously use their abilities or are hunted down by Angels. It is common for Nephilim to never know their fathers and their mothers either refuse to talk about them or they lie to their child about who their father is.

It is rare that a Nephilim's father to be in their lives and when they are; the Angel is not attached to their offspring. On the off-chance that they are, the Angel is typically overprotective and overbearing.

## Appearance

Nephilim look like a normal human, or whatever their mother's race/species is. While their looks may seem more ethereal, it's the personality that is affected by the Nephilim's Angelic parent. A Nephilim's personality is bound to the virtue of their parent. Additionally, Nephilim can fall victim to unholy energy much quicker than they would had they not ben half Angelic. A Nephilim can fall victim to an Angelic Fall and become a half-Fallen Nephilim. In this case, the Nephilim would take on the temperament of whatever Vice influenced them.

At some point in some, not all, Nephilim's lives, they may gain a single set of wings. The Angelic Ranks have little to no influence with this chance. It is extremely rare to near-impossible without Angelic assistance to gain another set of wings. There have been no recorded cases on the phenomenon as the majority of Nephilim are killed on sight before they reach maturity.

## Physiology

### Diet

Nephilim have the same diet as their non-Angelic parent. Some Nephilim have less of an appetite than others, however, this is not the case for all of them.

### Senses

Nephilim have a heightened sense of perception. As such, they have the innate ability to sense Angels, Demons, and even some magic users, though they most rarely know what the feeling is.

### Limitations

* Nephilim are more easily corrupted by sin and Demons than they would had they not been half Angel.
* Nephilim are typically bound to their Angelic Parent's virtue and have a very difficult time reaching outside of said virtue.

## Racial Abilities

### Miracle Points

Miracle Points are a Nephilim's magical storage. If a Nephilim has no Miracle Points stored, they are unable to perform any kind of angelic magic. Miracle Points are gained via performing miracles or performing feats that embrace the angelic virtue of the Nephilim.

### Heal

**Costs:** 5 Miracle Points

Learned at level 1, the ability to heal creatures and people. The ability requires 5 Miracle Points to use. The fewer the points, the less effective the ability. If a Nephilim attempts to heal an unholy creature, it will cause damage instead of healing them.

Damage can range depending on how heavy the intent. Heal can be used as an attack against unholy creatures.

### Purify

**Costs:**15 Miracle Points

Learned at level 3, the ability requires 15 Miracle Points to use. It is a lesser form of the ability, Smite, which allows the Nephilim to purify creatures, people, objects and areas.

This ability works on a DC of 10+WIS+LVL to cleanse the target. Target takes half damage if the DC is passed.

### Smite

**Costs:** 100 Miracle Points

Learned at level 6, the ability requires a full bar of 100 Miracle Points to use, however, the Nephilim will be fatigued for 1d8 days or unconscious for 1d4 hours. The ability allows the Nephilim to purify creatures, people, objects and areas. Smite has a 10-foot diameter.

Any unholy creature or those touched by unholy energy within the area are purified. Demons must beat a DC of 8+WIS+LVL to not be killed. If the demon bests the DC, they then must succeed a WIS save to not be banished. Any demon banished takes 1d10 days to return from Inferus.

## Combat
