5th Edition Advanced Mode
Limiting the power of a character and making the overall difficulty of the game harder, does not reduce the creativity, indeed it does quite the opposite.
The Game Master has the option to use any and all of the instances proposed in this guide, or just some of them according to their preference.
It is the lack of something that move and motivate characters, not the abundance of it
DESCRIPTION
Empyreans are the celestial children of the gods of the Upper Planes. They are universally beautiful, statuesque, and self-assured. They have a human-like appearance, but with flawless features and radiant skin. They are usually adorned with fine clothing and jewelry, and wield powerful weapons forged by their divine parents. Empyreans are immortal beings who never age or fall ill. They can speak and understand all languages, and have a keen insight into the hearts and minds of others. Empyreans are creatures of strong emotions, and their moods can affect the environment around them. When they are happy, the sun shines brighter, the birds sing louder, and the flowers bloom more vividly. When they are angry, the sky darkens, the wind howls, and the earth trembles. When they are sad, the rain falls, the plants wither, and the animals grow silent.
COMBAT
Empyreans are fearless warriors who do not hesitate to engage in battle, even when outnumbered or outmatched. They have immense physical strength and agility, and can unleash devastating attacks with their weapons or their fists. They can also hurl bolts of pure energy that can strike down multiple foes at once. Empyreans have a natural resistance to magic, and can cast a number of spells innately, such as commune, dispel evil and good, earthquake, fire storm, greater restoration, plane shift, and water walk. Empyreans can also empower their allies with their presence, granting them enhanced abilities and protection from harm. Empyreans are very resilient and can heal themselves quickly. If they are slain in combat, they are usually resurrected by their divine parents in their home plane.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
Empyreans live in the Upper Planes, where they enjoy the company of their celestial kin and serve their divine parents. They often visit other planes as well, either on missions from their gods or out of curiosity and wanderlust. Empyreans are usually benevolent and compassionate beings who seek to uphold justice and goodness in the multiverse. However, some empyreans may become corrupted by evil influences or suffer a curse from a wicked deity. These fallen empyreans turn to evil and must flee from their home plane to avoid the wrath of their former allies. They may seek refuge in the Material Plane or other realms where they can pursue their dark ambitions.
ECOLOGY
Empyreans are not natural creatures, but rather manifestations of divine power. They do not need to eat, drink, or sleep, but they may do so for pleasure or to blend in with other races. Empyreans do not reproduce in the conventional sense, but rather are created by the will of their gods. Empyreans have a profound impact on the ecology of their surroundings, as their emotions can alter the weather and the flora and fauna. Empyreans may also shape the landscape to suit their preferences or needs, creating magnificent structures or natural wonders with their magic.
Empyrean is employed as material component to empower the following spells:
