Overview
Tiny fragments of divinity, Godkin are shards of divine power that have gained sentience.

The Godkin race mod was created to fit the bill for a more conceptual divine race, based on 'shards' of divine domains rather then the existing angelic races like Aasimar. 
There is 6 subraces to the main race - I am considering adding more, and am happy to take commissions for new and custom ones - please contact me through DMs if you have a request.
Currently there is the following Godkin subraces:
  • Sunshard
  • Moonshard
  • Warshard
  • Peaceshard
  • Stormshard
  • Protectionshard
As a disclaimer, these races aren't intended to be fully balanced against most vanilla races, they have a bit of an extra kick. That said, they aren't intended to be totally overpowered, and I appreciate all constructive feedback in that regard! (Also bugs. If you find any bugs, please let me know.)
Features
The main race has two features, on top of 9 m / 30 ft base movement;
  • Darkvision; Can see in the dark up to 12 m / 40 ft.
  • Divine Constitution; You have Advantage on Saving throws against being Poisoned and you have Resistance against Poison damage.
The subraces then have 3 features - two unique, and then a set of spells that they receive over the course of levels 1-5. The spell gained at level 3 may be cast a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus - this resource may be found on your toolbar as 'Divine Power'. The spell gained at level 5 may be cast once per long rest.

Planned
In the future I plan to try and add actual icons for the race and subrace - currently I don't have the skills to create race icons from scratch. 
Additionally I'd like to spiff the text descriptions for the abilities up a bit, alongside any future subraces and bugfixes.
