Cernunnos

Cernunnos are centaurs with deerlike features. Their blood can permanently kill gods, so they have been nearly wiped out. They were originally created by a powerful being tasked with protecting the balance between nature and the Mortal Plane. Ageless, the remaining children of Cernunnos hide themselves away from the world, living in obscured communities deep within the wild lands.

Size. With bodies that combine features of human and stag, cernunnos have similar builds to centaurs. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.

Blood Smite. When you hit a celestial, fey, or fiend with a melee weapon attack, you can roll up to half your Hit Dice, to a maximum of 5 dice. Your target takes necrotic or radiant damage (your choice) equal to the total you roll, in addition to the weapon’s damage. Rolling your Hit Dice in this way does not expend them. However, you lose hit points equal to half the damage you dealt this way. This loss can’t be mitigated when it occurs. If a god is dealt damage with a weapon covered in the blood of a cernunnos, somehow injected with the blood of a cernunnos, or takes damage from the cernunnos’ Blood Smite ability, it can be killed as though it were mortal for the next 24 hours (except for Manitous, who is “too awesome to ever die”).
