Aphrodite

Goddess of Love

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, continues to be a pivotal figure in the cultural memory of our time, her influence felt deeply even sixty years after the Trojan War. As a catalyst for the conflict, her role in the judgment of Paris—where she promised him the love of Helen—set in motion the events that led to a decade of warfare, spotlighting the often turbulent relationship between desire and conflict. Today, she is revered not only for her allure but also for the complex implications of love and fate in a world where the line between bliss and strife is perpetually blurred.

Aphrodite’s Disciple

Piety 25+ Aphrodite trait
Once per long rest, you can call on Aphrodite’s blessing to incite a sense of burning adoration in another creature. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw; the save DC for this is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

A creature can choose to fail this saving throw if it wishes. On a success, the creature is unaffected. On a failure, the creature is Charmed by you until the start of your next turn, and it must immediately use its reaction to make a weapon attack against a target you designate. If there are no valid targets, it uses its reaction to admire you.
