Some of the text on this page is from the Beta build of the game. Demigods are the offspring of a god incarnate who descended to the earth and mingled with humans. Most of them are the product of the gods' whims, and it is rare for them to realize their own origins or unique abilities. They possess beauty akin to the gods, well-balanced abilities, strong vitality, and mana.

Overview
The children of gods who walked the earth and had relations with mortals, demigods often do not realize their true natures. While they may think their lives blessed, few demigods know the truth of why they are so robust and fortunate.
Demigods are perfectly balanced in all stats except charisma, and have higher life and mana scores than mortals. Their starting skills are extremely generic and well-balanced, allowing them to slip into any number of roles. It's not recommended for a player aiming to make an extreme character to play a demigod, though, since their lack of specialisation is a weakness in that context.
While following Eyth, demigods gradually gain stats over time, however, this appears to be capped at +7 to all stats as determined by the cap set by one's faith skill. Since it's hard to train faith while following Eyth, it's recommended that the stat bonus be used to help a new demigod get started, then switch to worshipping a proper god past early-game.
Priest and paladin bonuses do stack with the Eyth bonus, allowing for a maximum of +8 to all stats with one's starting faith skill.
Demigods do not suffer penalties from the deity when converting or failing to convert an altar, and since the penalty for conversion is set heavily in Elin, this effect can be very useful when crossing over to different faiths to collect divine rewards, or when returning to the Eyth faith after increasing faith levels. It is important to remember, though, that in this work, playing a continuous faith in a single deity is recommended, and the feet and treasures given as divine rewards are set so that they are not all powerful to non-believers.
Suggested Classes
Because of their perfectly balanced stats, demigods are suited to any number of hybrid classes. However, their feat synergises well with that of priest or paladin for even greater bonuses. Their starting boost in charisma can help with either performing, or group-oriented play.
- Priest
- Paladin
- Warmage
- Sword Sage
- Pianist
Lore and Trivia
- Demigods are a backer race.
