Xochipilli- God and Clerics for D&D 5e

Xochipilli (Intermediate God)

Xochipilli the “Prince of Flowers,” is the god of beauty, happiness, music, and gambling. Along with his twin sister, Xochiquetzal, he is responsible for much of what men find joyful in life.

He is a benevolent but fickle god who seldom blesses a man with his gifts for long. In his true form, he has the body of a young man, but his face is that of a decaying corpse.

Roleplaying Tips

Xochipillj has a mercurial disposition. Sometimes he takes great pleasure in helping his worshipers, other times he inflicts great hardships on them for little reason.

Anyone sacrificing an important magic item to him by throwing it into the street and walking away stands a 1 % chance of attracting his attention. If the person is about to take an immensely big gamble, this chance increases to 25%. If he responds to the sacrifice, Xochipilli will aid the worshiper by allowing him to make a second die roll at some critical moment.

Omens from Xochipilli include unexplained music, a run of good or bad luck, and the sudden urge to sing.
