Ascended heroes are those (former) mortals who have become resident in the Astral by trading their mortality for a dependence on worship. They serve as "gods" to many of the cultures.
Rules
- Ascended heroes can only be in one place at a time; they cannot create avatars. Thus, if they are destroyed anywhere, they are destroyed everywhere.
- Ascended heroes can only interact across planar boundaries with mortals that worship them--there must be a pre-existing tie, voluntarily established by the mortal.
- Ascended heroes cannot annoint clerics, they can only teach spells and enter into pacts.
- The power of an ascended hero is directly proportional to the worship. Without worship, they must find another source of power to continue existence (ie become a devil or an angel or a demon).
- Ascended heroes *can* be proactive and *can* discriminate based on style of worship
- Ascended heroes are influenced by their worship and become the thing that their worshipers believe they are.
Notable Heroes
- The Queen Ascendant
- Nocthis
- Shadow-sun, formerly of the Congregation
