Somnus Domina (D&D 5th Edition) - The Nephilim

### Somnus Domina (D&D 5th Edition) - The Nephilim In **Somnus Domina**, the Nephilim emerge as a fascinating supernatural race, formerly linked to the divine, now marked by their complex history of loss and rebirth. Created by the gods to protect sacred sites and guard ancient secrets, these unique beings have, over time, been stripped of their celestial connection, becoming intermediaries between the mortal and the divine. Each Nephilim is born from enchanted fragments of precious stones that make up its heart. This extraordinary origin gives them a unique life cycle. They are individuals with rich experiences, but their existences are also interconnected by a metaphysical source that perpetuates their essences, returning them to the great cycle of creation when their journey comes to an end. The material presents a comprehensive view of the Nephilim, including their tendencies, beliefs and social structures. The description of their tribes and the different types that inhabit the world as cusps is a valuable addition, highlighting heroic variants that can be summoned in times of great need, always with the aim of preventing catastrophe. Among the NPCs, players will find characters such as the Nephilim Watcher of Fate, a guardian (CR 6) who excels at protecting the future, and the Nephilim Fault Knight (CR 8), a powerful fighter. These elements offer players flexibility and a variety of roles to play. To choose a Nephilim is to embrace an existence driven by a clear purpose, essential to each player's storyline. With abilities that include powerful magic and the ability to fly, they are ideal for those who wish to explore deep and meaningful narratives, always with the perspective of an immortal legacy. In Somnus Domina, you won't just be playing; you'll be connecting to a story that transcends life and death.

  • Storytelling - In Somnus Domina, storytelling is the backbone of the adventure. Players experience engaging stories guided by a Master who invents unique scenarios, characters and challenges.

They are your secret weapons for keeping track of inventories and statistics during the game. Writing by hand gives you a personal connection with your character's development throughout the adventure.
  • Data Scrolling - The unpredictable element of the game, dice rolling, determines successes and failures in actions and events. Just like in a friendly game of dice between friends, each roll is a moment of tension and anticipation that can change the fate of the entire plot. The number of sides on the dice varies according to the complexity of the action.
  • RPG - This is the beating heart of Somnus Domina, where imagination meets strategy.
