Hubris: Whenever the Anunnaki fails a test they spent an ichor on, they suffer a check on the next 1 + Divinity tests they make.

Assyrian Expertise: The Anunnaki has a specialty (Trade) in Charm, Academic Lore, and Persuasion. These skills can go up to 6 dots.

Scionic Techniques: The Anunnaki gains a free rank in any magic school or gun kata of their choice, and can advance it as part of their class. An Anunnaki adds their Divinity as a static bonus to trick shots using advantages from the chosen school and focus power tests from the school they chose.


Resource Stat: Ichor: An Anunnaki's Ichor is equal to their Divinity + Fellowship + 3. An Ichor pool is fully restored by pouring a number of liters of alcoholic beverages onto an altar or pyre equal to the amount of Ichor to be restored. Or, by burning a number of incense sticks equal to the amount of ichor to be restored. Otherwise, it is the same as a Scion's Ichor pool.

β. Aegis: The Anunnaki reduces damage from all sources by their Divinity.

γ. Animal Shape: The Anunnaki gains the Wild Shape and Improved Wild Shape feats. They need not look like a natural animal, mixing and matching features as they see fit. They can also cast the Disguise spell using Divinity in place of the spell school rank. Doing so poses no risk of triggering Perils of the Warp (if rolled, it triggers Warp Madness instead).

δ. Hand of Gilgamesh: The Anunnaki's left arm/s has the properties of an artifact bionic arm of her choice. Her Social characteristics can go up to 6.

ε. Divine Presence: For one scene per session, the Anunnaki may add 1 dot to each Social characteristic and Aegis reduces twice as much damage.

Facet of the Sky Father
The Sky Father was actually father of the Anunnaki and the first king of the heavens. Gain a dot in Academic Lore, Weaponry, and Status, and these may be raised to 6 each. You may use Divinity in place of any background dot to support any and all other background dots you have.

Facet of Campaign
The god of Campaign is attested by ancient kingdoms to be the one true god, and all other gods merely being facets of him. The Anunnaki may purchase advantages in trick shots past their gunslinger level without having to purchase disadvantages.

Facet of Storms
The Anunnaki of Storms wore bull horns. What bulls have to do with storms, I will never know. The Anunnaki may spend an ichor to change the weather as they wish for the next 24 hours (precipitation, clouds, temperature, wind, etc.) so long as it does not become actively hazardous. Also gain a horn natural weapon (1k1 R; melee, brawling).

Facet of Fertility
This god's progeny are still all over the place, just look at the Deep Ones. You may spend an Ichor to populate an acre of land or cubic acre of water with plant and animal life appropriate to the environment. Gain the Nekomimi Mode feat at Divinity 3. The feat can be immediately re-used by spending an Ichor.

Facet of the Underworld
The Anunnaki of the underworld was married to Nurgle before she died, and the followers of Nurgle still hold her in high regard. Gain the Undead trait and the peer (Nurgle followers) feat. The Anunnaki counts as a Vampire for the purposes of applying effects, substituting Divinity for Blood Potency and Ichor for Vitae.

Facet of Passion
All's fair in love and war, and Passion absolutely believed that. Too bad her luck with men wasn't as good as she liked. Gain the Appearance and Dangerous Beauty assets. You may use Fellowship in place of Strength when rolling damage rolls that would involve a Strength value.

Facet of the Primordial
The Primordial has looked into the Warp, and made it blink. You can spend an Ichor create fresh or salt water anywhere, no matter how unlikely. It fills any container indoors and creates a natural water source at ground level outdoors. You may also spend an Ichor to increase Animal Ken, Arcana, and Composure by 1 for the duration of the scene.

Facet of the Slayer
An ancient warrior who attained godhood, the Slayer has defeated Tiamat in single combat before. When referencing your Level (like say, calculating resilience) or Divinity (like say, calculating ichor), treat them as 1 higher than your actual current level, to a maximum of 6.

Playing an Anunnaki

Anunnaki are slightly different from vanilla Scions. They don't have as much emphasis on power, relying more on social prowess. Social classes are an obvious mechanical benefit to an Anunnaki, but Evocation is going to be the best damage-dealer they have without using an alternate spell school. Martial classes are still of use to an Anunnaki, but require a little more work to optimize. Try a more back-end class like spellshooter, guardsman, or ranged assassin if you want that. Or a judge, even. Anunnaki aren't really the front-line type, rather the commanding officer in the middle of an army.

On a narrative level, Anunnaki are socially inclined. They are traders, diplomats, politicians, and performers. Martial prowess is secondary, a means by which to affect social prowess. Bards also make a good choice, being the dedicated social class happens for a reason. Anunnaki can perform songs and plays from the days of yore for audiences, gathering crowds or just blathering to distract someone.

When actually playing an Anunnaki, keep in mind you are a demigod. You feel little to no need to impress anyone immediately, that takes care of itself in time. Wear what you want, use your words, don't worry about first impressions as much as sustained impressions. A first impression is easy to botch; consistently proving you are a demigod is more important.

The Creator was a loving god, generous and bright. Gain the Hatred (Pelor Followers) and Peer (the poor) feats. You may spend Ichor to gain a +1k0 bonus to Wealth tests per Ichor spent, +2k0 more if used exclusively to help the poor. Lastly, increase your Status by 1.

Ankh of Embalming
The jackal-headed god imparted his knowledge of mummification. He probably just wanted an army of mummies to take over, but hey. Gain a free dot and specialty (Necromancy) in Arcana and Forbidden Lore, which benefit from Maat.

Ankh of Fertility
The Fertile One taught agriculture, and made it look easy. You can spend an ichor to give up to 1 acre of plants vibrant life to the point of bearing crop, no matter the state they were in before. You may purchase dots in Followers after character creation as though increasing a characteristic.

Ankh of Mediation
She Who Scrivens is credited with inventing writing. I mean, it adds up, but a lot of gods can place that claim. Gain a specialty (Literature) and (Mathematics) for Academic Lore and Arcana, and these skills may go up to 6 dots. In addition, reduce Psychic Phenomenon rolls you make by 2*Divinity.

Ankh of Resurrection

You may avoid death by permanently reducing your Divinity by 1, which may be bought back as normal. You count as a Vampire for Necromancy purposes, replacing Vitae with Ichor on a 1:1 basis.

Ankh of the Smiter
Once per scene, you can make a ranged attack (you are proficient with) with your smiting gaze. It has a profile of (Divinity+1k2 E damage; range 20m, S/-, volatile). At Divinity 3, it can be used twice per scene. At Divinity 5, it can be used three times per scene. You may spend an ichor to use it again.

Ankh of the Sun
This Sun god was part of a geocentric crystal sphere, and died every night only to be reborn at sunrise. Your attacks are treated as if they have the Sanctified (Pelor) property, and you may project a glow of light to a radius of 5m times your Divinity. You can spend 1 Ichor to treat this as natural sunlight for a round. When you reach Divinity 3, you can cast the spell Glorious Solar Sabre, using Divinity + Charisma instead of the normal magic test.


Ankh of Tempest
This Ntr was ruler of deserts, and destroyer of harvests. He did not play well with the Sun or Resurrection Ntr. He may have even been the first Chaos God. You may spend an Ichor to render up to an acre of land wholly infertile for the next year. You are immune to hot, dry climates and do not need to drink.

Ankh of Wadjet
Wadjet was a small-time goddess, identified by an eye mark or a snake. Instead of sacrificing an animal, your Ichor pool is fully restored at every sunrise. You may purchase dots in backgrounds (except artifact) after character creation as though increasing a characteristic.

Playing a Ba
Ba are more at one with the people than other Scions. They attend festivals, supervise sacrifices, provide knowledge to those who ask, and generally are more at peace with their lot in life. Ba are unchanging, an immovable rock. They maintain the status quo and seek to preserve existing conditions no matter what they are. They do this because there is no longer a will to enact, and so believe the way things were when the gods died is how things should be. If a Ba had their way to its logical extreme, the Wheel would be a static, unmoving object.

A Ba is kind of the antithesis of the vanilla Scion. It is built on resistance instead of power. Being the magic and arcane knowledge talent is the Ba's obvious choice. Resisting spells, casting abjurations, and performing a defensive front-line melee role is the norm. Failing that, a martial class is always a good choice.

A Teotl adds their Divinity as a static bonus to damage rolls on martial techniques using advantages from the school chosen and spell damage from the school they chose.


Ichor: A Teotl has an Ichor pool equal to Divinity + Strength + 3. It is restored either by sacrificing an animal or by killing a sapient being in front of an audience outside of combat.

Teotl Asssets

SPOILER: Click to show

Atlantean of the Obsidian Mirror
The Obsidian Mirror was one mean dude, and demanded the most sacrifices of all Teotl. You may perform the ritual to restore your Ichor as often as you wish. Every time you slay an opponent in combat, recover Ichor equal to the half slain's level to a minimum of 1.

Atlantean of the Red Mirror
The Red Mirror may actually have been a dissociate identity of the Obsidian Mirror, but in any case he was the god of war and hunting. The Teotl gains the Arcane Mark feat and may keep track of up to three targets in this way. Recover three ichor every time combat starts.

Atlantean of the Feathered Serpent
The feathered serpent is a duality of earthly and heavenly. Flying like a bird, crawling like a snake. You may spend an Ichor to give up to an acre of plants vibrant life to the point of bearing crop, no matter the state they were in before. Gain a specialty (agriculture) in Academic Lore. If you are not a human, you may spend an Ichor to take the form of a human (size 5) for the duration of the scene. Lastly, the Teotl's Ichor pool is not restored the normal way, but at each sunrise.

Atlantean of the Hummingbird
Hummingbirds, while harmless-looking, are actually pretty vicious. Gain the Frenzy and Battle Rage feats. You may spend an Ichor to make a ranged attack with the profile of a Flamer.

Atlantean of the Rains
While it's intended this power be used to bring rains to drought areas, some Teotl use it to make vacation areas pay them for sunshine. You may spend an Ichor to make it rain for the next 24 hours. Gain the muscle wizardry feat.

Atlantean of Horizontal Waters
Rivers and oceans can be calm or vicious. You may spend an Ichor to control tides and movements of bodies of water to your desires, so long as they do not become actively hazardous. You also gain the Amphibious trait and may breathe air and water with equal ease.

Atlantean of Well-Being
You have gained the power of the Aztec Gods of Fitness. The Teotl gains the Channel Energy feat and removes all levels of fatigue after one hour of rest.

Playing a Teotl
A Teotl has little angst for the death of their gods. They live in the here and now, enjoying life. They dress casually until ceremonies are held. Teotl have a desire to prove they are the best at something. Fighting, magic, athleticism, astronomy, what have you. The life of a Teotl is a life of integration. Work and play are usually separate, but they try to combine them. Everything is a contest, and there is no shame in losing.

When choosing a class, physical fighters are the best bet. Fighters, monks, even guardsmen are good choices. Sword schools allow the Teotl to shine unless you want to play a muscle wizard. Having all three physical characteristics benefit from the exalt lets a player determine a fighting style. Strong, swift, tough. Aegis lets a Teotl get away with wearing lighter armor, so flak armor is really all you'll need.

Domain of the Skies
Your Tell causes a gentle breeze to flow from you, at higher levels you lose definition and look as if a cloudy sky has taken a humanoid shape. Gain the Flyer trait. You can also control the weather (overcast, temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) in the local area for the next 24 hours by spending an Ichor as long as the effects do not become actively hazardous.

Playing a Diwata
Due to drastic differences in subcultures, dialects, languages and so on; the exact identities of the Diwata's dead gods are nebulous at best. Instead, the Diwata believes in the basic concept they embody as their domain. Concepts such as the natural elements, emotions, social roles, and even the primitive idea of a supreme creator. Because of this, rituals and ceremonies vary from person to person, the only thing necessary is being respected. As such, some might view anything beyond a regular gesture of goodwill to be superfluous, while others prefer to be appeased with much grandiose accommodation.

A Diwata prefers to be in an environment relevant to their domain, whether it's in an actual location or being accompanied by individuals found to be agreeable. For example, one with an affinity for benevolence might be drawn a hospital and accompany the tireless workers who give their lives to save others on a daily basis. Mutual respect and trust is a big deal for a Diwata, and those who interact with them will be repaid in kind depending on their actions.

[Traskus]

I have altered the teotl's obsidian mirror asset. It is now half the slain's level, to a minimum of 1. The new maximum is 2.

Ba's ankh of wadjet now excludes artifacts. Ankh of tempest no longer has frenzy and battle rage. Ankh of smiter now allows you to spend ichor to use the eyebeams after your budget.

Transcendent



Replace the following:

Olympic Games with Forbidden Knowledge

Implied Power with Madman's Knowledge

Animal Shape with Unnatural Shape

Bone of Pelops with Grasp of Kosi

Divine Presence with Divine Madness

Forbidden Knowledge: The Transcendent has free specialties in Perception (Witch-Sight), as well as Arcana and Forbidden Lore (Daemonology), and can go up to 6 dots in these skills.

Scionic Techniques: The Transcendent gains a free rank in any magic school or gun kata of their choice, and can advance it as part of their class. A Transcendent adds their Divinity as a static bonus to attack rolls on trick shots using advantages from the chosen school and on focus power tests from the school they chose.

Resource Stat: Ichor: A Transcendent has maximum Ichor equal to her Divinity + Intelligence + 3. Their full Ichor pool is restored by ranting maniacally, butchering small animals, or otherwise doing something attention-grabbing, offensive, and ultimately pointless for five minutes. This may only be done once per day.

Madman's Knowledge: The Transcendent's Intelligence-based rolls have a static bonus equal to the amount of Ichor they have.

Unnatural Shape: The Transcendent gains the Wild Shape and Improved Wild Shape feats. They do not look like any natural animal, however, their bodies instead twisting and mutating, always looking horribly similar to their normal appearance. They may also cast the Augury spell using Divinity in place of the spell school rank. Doing so poses no risk of triggering Perils of the Warp (if rolled it triggers Warp Madness instead).

Grasp of Kosi: The Transcendent's left arm has the properties of an artifact bionic arm of her choice. Her Mental characteristics can go up to 6.

Divine Madness: For one scene per session, the Transcendent may add 1 dot to each Mental characteristic and Aegis reduces twice as much damage.

Transcendent Glyph Assets

Clawmark
Describes the impulse to seek the warmth of blood like a beast. The first melee attack you make each round gains a raise to the damage roll for every explosion kept on the attack roll, to a maximum number of raises equal to your Divinity.

Deep Sea
Depicts downreaching currents, a bulwark of water that guards the sleeping mind. Reduce damage from all sources by 3, counting this toward the value of your Aegis. In addition, add your Divinity as a static bonus on any saving throw that you spend Ichor on.

Eye
Symbolizes the forbidden truth sought by daemonologists. Add your Divinity as a static bonus to Arcana, Forbidden Lore, and Perception tests. You can see lingering magical auras and other effects that might normally be invisible to the naked eye, gaining a general "feel" for a place just like a Wraith could.

Formless
Symbolizes the voice of a formless godling. Increase the clip size of any non-Primitive firearm that you wield by your Divinity. In addition, your attacks with ranged weapons gain the properties of mercury.

Guidance
Describes faerie lights in the darkness, the guiding moonlight that leads mortals to madness. Gain a static bonus equal to your Divinity when using the Dodge or Parry action, or when making an attack that benefits from the Aim or Monologue/Study action.

Impurity
Symbolizes the deeply flawed, the invulnerability born of total delusion. Begin play with 10 Insanity. You are not removed from play at 100 Insanity, though you continue to gain derangements as normal. Increase your Hit Points by 1 for every 10 points of Insanity you have.

Metamorphosis
Depicts a twisted cross, representing evolution. When referencing your Level (like, say, calculating Resilience) or Divinity (like, say, calculating Ichor), treat them as 1 higher than your actual current level, to a maximum of 6.

Radiance
Describes a mortal's unshakable faith in delusions of their own making. Your attacks are treated as if they have the Sanctified (your alignment) property. Additionally, gain the Chosen asset matching your alignment, substituting Divinity for Faith and Ichor for Favor as necessary. However, this delusion cuts both ways... you're under just as close scrutiny as a Chosen would be.

Rapture
Depicts the raw euphoria of the warmth of blood. Whenever your damage dice explode on an attack, you can spend Ichor to recover Hit Points as a free action.

[Traskus]

Anunnaki: Revised scionic techniques.
Ba: Revised scionic techniques. Gave scionic skin an off switch and let you use magic. Creation nerfed to be less "fuck you I have money". Sun has a time limit for "power of the sun". Smiter dropped flight, eye beams are good enough.
Teotl: Revised scionic techniques. Imperfect strikes affects attacks now. Rains reword. Horizontal waters no longer interacts with corruption and instead lets you breathe water.

[Amanojyaku]

Arahitogami: Sun Sign altered in line with Ankh of the Sun.

[Traskus]

Ba: ankh of the sun altered in line with sun sign.

[Amanojyaku]

Arahitogami: Replaced Scionic Techniques with something to further underscore the idea of multicompetence. Also now has a semi-unique way of regaining Ichor, based on traditional Shinto offerings; works sort of like the Anunnaki, but somewhat more versatile in that any combination of offerings can be used. Death Sign gets just a bit more versatility in this.

Einherjar: Got their own version of Scionic Techniques, focused on glorious martial combat.

[GuardianTempest]

Divus Denarium Assets
Denarium of the State
He isn't the god of Rome, no, he IS Rome. Gain a dot in Status, to a maximum of 6. You may use your Divinity instead of a background to maintain any and all other backgrounds you have. Instead of animal sacrifice, you replenish your full Ichor pool by spending an hour exercising duty and responsibility over you and yours. This includes a wide variety of activities like household chores, tending to your garden, maintaining equipment, delegating to your followers, inspecting public infrastructure in your city, and looking after your wounded allies while deep behind enemy lines. You are still limited to doing this once per day.

Denarium of Military Power
We must secure the existence of our territory and a future for our...agriculture? Legion's Discipline applies to Ballistics. You may have your Aid Another bonus apply to the aided character's next damage roll instead of their next test. Lastly, you can spend an Ichor to give up to 1 acre of plants vibrant life to the point of bearing crop, regardless of the state they were in before.

Denarium of the Sky God
He might be the "chief deity of the state" but he's not the only top dog. That doesn't mean anyone could cross him freely. When casting spells with a damage roll, treat your Magic School rank as 1 higher than it actually is for the purposes of Focus Power tests and spell effects. You can also control the weather (overcast, temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) in the local area for the next 24 hours by spending an Ichor as long as the effects do not become actively hazardous.

Denarium of the Matron
Soft and strong. Fierce and feminine. Motherly and military. The wife of the Sky God was known for so much more beyond marriage and childbirth. Add twice your Divinity as a static bonus to any skill test you're applying a specialty to.

Denarium of Acumen
Gain the feats Combat Insight, Protocol and Research. You may spend an Ichor to increase a mental skill by 1 until the end of the scene.

Denarium of Plenty
Gain 1 dot of Wealth, to a maximum of 6. Wealth strain tests are reduced by half your Divinity+1, to a minimum of 1. You may spend Ichor on consenting allies.

Denarium of Chance
Capricious yet unbiased, many have tried (and often failed) to gain this goddess's favor. Begin play with the Luck feat, which has additional uses per day equal to your Divinity.

Denarium of the Countryside
Unlike the savage wilderness of Luna, this goddess represents the "tame" open spaces of rural areas. Gain the Nature Sense feat and a free dot to Animal Ken, that skill can be raised to 6 dots and benefits from Legendary Charisma. At Divinity 3, you gain the Wild Shape and Improved Wild Shape feats instead of Inspiring Presence. You don't need to look like a natural animal, mixing and matching features as you see fit.

Denarium of Fire
From the heat of the forge to the blazing volcanoes, this god can be both helpful and harmful. Gain a free dot and specialty (Metalworking) to Crafts, which can be raised to 6 dots. You may spend an Ichor to make a ranged attack (you are always proficient with) using the profile of a Flamer. This attack deals +2k1 at Divinity 3 and gains Incendiary at Divinity 5.

Denarium of Beauty
This goddess was also one of victory, using her visage as an invigorating herald. Gain the Appearance and Dangerous Beauty assets. You may spend an Ichor to apply the bonuses granted by these assets to your Aid Another actions but only if the recipient can see you in person.

Denarium of Family
For such a simple domain this goddess held a surprising amount of clout. Gain the Air of Authority feat and additional Resolve equal to your Divinity. As long as you are indoors, the regenerative abilities of you and your allies in the same building double in speed.
