Scion/1st

Progenitor

At 1st level, you choose a progenitor that is the source of your supernatural powers. Your progenitor is the type of great being whose power you have inherited, whether through happenstance or choice, through ancestry or action, through violent means or a benevolent blessing. You likely do not still have contact with your individual progenitor, but perhaps you do—this is something you can decide with your DM. Your choice of progenitor functions as your scion subclass.

Your choice of progenitor decides what spells you can learn, as different scions share very few spells with one another. Your progenitor also grants additional proficiencies, borne of the supernatural talents that your progenitor has seeded in you. As your capabilities grow and you better understand the powers of your progenitor, you gain additional features at 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels.

Each progenitor is covered in detail on its own, separate page linked in the list below. Each subclass of scion also has an affinity for certain creatures as highlighted in the list. Your affinity type may affect features and spells you gain at later levels.

• An armos scion draws strength from ancient constructs such as armos, beamos, and guardians. Clever yet stalwart, these scions are effective at enduring dangers and overcoming the abnormal.
• A dragon scion inherits the might of powerful dragons, ranging anywhere from aquamentus to dinraal. Aggressive abilities prove useful for tearing apart enemies.
• A fairy scion receives the talents and blessings of fairies, from the slightest tiny fairy to possibly even the revered fairy queen. Not even sages can match a fairy scion's restorative powers.
• A poe scion amasses power from undead monsters, most infamously poes and redead. Poe scions wield unrivaled power over the barrier of life and death, and can even raise undead to their bidding.
