Heroic Tier

The Heroic Tier is where most adventurers are. It is above the Commoner Tier, and represents creatures with 6-10 Hit Dice. Like Paragon and Epic Tiers, a Heroic creature is awarded certain abilities based on their Ancestry, Background, and Class.

In addition to these benefits, there are multiple implicit benefits and worldly benefits, which aren't directly as a result of being Heroes per se. Heroes have the attention of the Messengers (Much more than Commoners anyway), and in general Heroes gain more weight on the grand scale. As such, Heroes gain two additional features, one from their Alignment and one from the Messengers.

Call to the Great Powers. With great effort, you can communicate and even entreat your Alignment for aid. You learn a version Abyssal Gate, Divine Gate, Infernal Gate, or similar ritual appropriate to your Alignment. During the ritual, which requires an hour to perform, you entreat one of the important members of your Alignment, who acts as a "manager" for the troops you are summoning. If you are able to convince this member that your battle is directly progressing the efforts of the Alignment, they will sponsor the Unit's costs. Unaligned heroes do not gain this benefit unless/until they commit to an Alignment.

Tales of the Universe. Over the course of 1 hour, you may attempt to communicate with the Messengers. This allows you to cast Contact Other Plane or Legend Lore. You may do this a number of times per week equal to your proficiency modifier. This is not considered a spell when cast in this way, rather it's treated as a simple conversation.
