Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Celestial-Blooded

Celestial-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

A character with a celestial bloodline can trace her heritage to beings of the Heavens. Most angels, archons, guardinals, and eladrins have the ability to interbreed with humanoids, and examples of celestial creatures descending from the heavens to live with mortals often appear in the myths and legends of the Three Worlds. Some even claim descent from the Lords of Heaven themselves, and many myths describe various Celestial Lords fathering (or, more rarely, Celestial Mistresses giving birth to) half-mortal children. Caire, Füllar, Hler, Lódur, and Vali are credited with many half-mortal children, while Heim, Forseti, and Tiwas each have a handful of stories attributing mortal children to them.

Those with celestial heritage often have silver or golden hair, a proud bearing, or a piercing stare.
