PFS StandardLawbringer Warpriest

Mortals whose ancestry has been influenced by archons are called lawbringers. They may have mortal ancestors who fought alongside archons against the forces of evil and entropy, or they may have been born from a union between an archon and a mortal. Many lawbringers seek adventure to bringing order to the world.

Planar Scion

Source Monster Core pg. 266
Many immortals dwell upon the other planes of the Great Beyond. Some are benevolent and kind, like angels. Others are cruel and destructive, like demons. And some fit roles outside of morality, like psychopomps. It's far from unheard of for mortals and immortals alike to become entangled romantically, and the children of such engagements carry a supernatural element in their bloodlines for generations to follow. After the first generation, this otherworldly influence usually lies dormant, but now and then, the influence can manifest strongly in descendants many years later. These inheritors of extraplanar legacies are known collectively as planar scions.

Sidebar - Related Creatures

There are as many types of planar scions as there are planes of existence. Even then, there are significant differences between scions depending on the exact nature of their extraplanar forebears, even when they share the same planar roots.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Immortal Influences

Most planar scions are the distant descendants of some immortal progenitor far back in the family's bloodline. Others, however, may be the result of powerful planar energies, magical curses, or even the intervention of a deity or demigod.
