Demiurge Destiny

You find yourself pulled to small corner of reality that folds in upon itself. This place feels oddly comfortable to you, like an old friend long forgotten. As you explore this “shard” of reality, you become familiar with it and can control it to an extent. It in return welcomes you and any guests you invite, and wards away intruders. This shard is approximately the size of a cosy studio apartment, and generally not much bigger. If you wish, it comes with some basic amenities, but nothing your character could not afford outside of the shard.

Your shard does not exist on this plane, and can therefore the entrance may be placed in a single fixed location you wish, and you may move the entrance with a day’s effort. It deflects attention away from itself, but is not totally impervious to forcible entry. The DCs to notice the shard’s entrance and pass through the door uninvited is 30. Your shard tells you when someone tries to enter against your will, even if you are far away. In addition, you gain the following Utility Talent:

Spectral Retainer - 1/Day
At the start of the day select one creature who has spent their last extended rest in your demesne. For the remainder of the day, they have one of your “attendants” helping them with tasks, giving them a +5 bonus to any checks 3 times per day. The shard assists those inside in the form of nebulous “attendants” who give you and any guests a +5 bonus to any checks within your shard 3 times a day. The selected creature may not make use of the bonuses the shard provides until the Talent has been used again.

Your shard resonates with your power and begins to grow. It is now a fair-sized pocket dimension that conforms to your will, and feeds you power even outside your demesne. Your dimension grows to a mile in diameter and has a homogenous geological layout of your choosing, such as forest, plain, cave, etc. At the center is your original shard’s habitation, but it has grown in size and luxury to be a small mansion.

Your demesne now touches many points of reality simultaneously. You may take a day’s effort to add a new entrance to your dimension, and through this method have as many entrances as you wish. You may use this to travel great distances in the span of a minute, but you must create the new entrance from outside of your dimension. Every day you may spend an hour meditating in your demesne to increase the diameter by a hundred feet. You may meditate this way while taking an extended rest.

As your shard grows into a true pocket dimension, it also provides you with additional power. You feel you body start to grow in ways you never imagined as this power fills you, granting you 3 points to spend on Racial Traits. In addition, you gain the following Utility Talent.

Pocket Door - 1/Day
Preparation time: 10 Minutes
You create a temporary door that leads to your pocket demesne. It can be free floating or on a surface, and lasts up to 12 hours. If you have not crossed back through by the time it dissipates, you will need to go back to your previous location the long way. You may dismiss the door from either side at any time, and may use this ability to repeatedly visit a location to create a permanent door.

The synergy you share with your pocket demesne has grown so much that your it grows exponentially and makes you a god while on physically there. It now a full-fledged plane, and you are its master. The sudden growth of your plane is not entirely within your control, but you can guide the direction of this growth. You plane automatically grows at a hundred feet in diameter per day, using the existing geography as a base for what the new section will look like. You may concentrate for one hour per day to accelerate growth to instead add a mile diameter, manipulating what kind of terrain is created.

As your plane grows in power and size, your body completes its transformation into the Demiurge of this new world, and your body roars with power and light. You gain an additional 3 points to spend on Racial Traits, as well as the following utility talents for use in conjunction with your new home plane.

Eternal Renewal - 1/Year
As your plane sustains you, you are no longer affected by the effects of aging or bodily needs. If you ever die or are killed, your plane resurrects you in the heart of itself one year later. Your new body appears at the center of your original shard, and you are trapped in your realm while your plane helps you recuperate. This time is typically one year, but may be shorter in games with shorter time scales. If your death was the result of a conspiracy, it is likely the aggressor will come knocking at your door to finish the job.

Let There Be Light - 1/Year
Preparation Time: 1 Day
You create a new form of life. You give it all the features you wish, from wings to telekinetic ability to even sentience and sapience within the rules of the game. You create enough of these creatures to be genetically viable on your plane, along with a single “Eve” who embodies the race, and may follow you on your journey. This Eve is a fully-fledged first level NPC with the racial traits you chose for your race and the Eternal Renewal Utility Talent. You may only have a single Eve at a time, but she will follow you loyally anywhere inside or outside your plane.

Your plane will spontaneously generate life without your intervention at irregular intervals, and while you may specify general themes and forms to the life you need not exert explicit control using this utility talent, your plane will fill in ecological gaps that you create. Beware that these fillers, and possibly your direct creations, will not always be to your liking, and you may find your cheerful land of multicoloured equines develops buglike winged equines with swiss cheese legs that devour love.

Your direct creations may enter and exit your plane as any other creature can, as can the lifeforms that naturally spring up, but the exits impose the same difficulties on them that outsides face trying to get in. Know, however, that this does not mean your creations will do well on the outside world. Your new race is still young, and has much to learn. Your Eve will teach your new race, helping them to grow and flourish on your plane, and in time they may be ready to face the outside world.

Level 4 - Cosmic Studio Apartment
You gain an extra-dimensional apartment space. It can be placed anywhere you wish with a day’s notice, and can only be entered against your will with a DC 30 Perception check to notice the entrance and a DC 30 check of the appropriate action to break in. You are instantly notified of any break-in attempts. You gain the following Utility Talent:

Spectral Retainer - 1/Day
At the start of the day select one creature who has spent their last extended rest in your space. For the remainder of the day, they have a +5 bonus to any checks 3 times per day. Any creature inside your space may make any three checks per day at a +5 bonus. The selected creature may not make use of the normal +5 checks in your space until the Talent has been used again.

Level 7 - Spatial Fiefdom
Your extra-dimensional space is now a mansion with a few acres of land. You may have as many doors as you wish, created at a rate of 1/day, spread across the world, but you must create them personally. You gain 3 points to spend of Racial Traits. You gain the following Utility Talent:

Pocket Door - 1/Day
Preparation time: 10 Minutes
You create a temporary door that leads to your extra-dimensional space. It can be free floating or on a surface, and lasts up to 12 hours. If you have not crossed back through by the time it dissipates, you will need to go back to your previous location the long way. You may dismiss the door from either side at any time, and may use this ability to repeatedly visit a location to create a permanent door.

Level 10 - Astral Australia
Your extra-dimensional space starts growing like crazy, and you can make it grow faster. You gain 3 additional points to spend on Racial Traits. You gain the following Utility Talents:

Eternal Renewal - 1/Year
As your space sustains you, you are no longer affected by the effects of aging or bodily needs. If you ever die or are killed, your space resurrects you at its center one year later. You are trapped in your realm while your plane helps you recuperate. This time is typically one year, but may be shorter in games with shorter time scales. If your death was the result of a conspiracy, it is likely the aggressor will come knocking at your door to finish the job.

Let There Be Light - 1/Year
You gain a follower with all the stats of a normal Level 1 character, plus the Utility Talent Eternal Renewal. They will obey your every command. You may only have one at time.

As a byproduct, you now have a bunch of NPCs running around around your space. Deal with it, you’re their Princess now.

Kangaroos invade your demesne. You are forced to abandon it in the face of their terrible kicking. On the bright side, you gain an additional magic point for having had and lost.
