Astromancer

A tradition of observation and compliance to the designs of destiny, those bound to this discipline seek to ensure that no creature succeeds in casting off the chains of fate. These adherents may go forth into the world seeking to either soothe a community's natural progression towards death or to forcibly prevent aberrations in the plans of predestination.

The followers within this sect believe in the inevitability of the universe, looking to the everlasting rise and fall of the dawn and dusk surrounding them as inspiration. Drawing upon this most foundational pattern of the cosmos, these individuals harm and guard to keep the immutable design.

At 6th level, your adherence to the march of fate allows you to resist those that fight against it. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

You can also use your action to expend an active Starmote on a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you to end an effect causing them to be charmed or frightened.

At 10th level, your expertise in the inevitable and interrelated nature of dawn and dusk grants you greater insight into your Starmote. Whenever you finish a long rest you select one of the following options for your Starmote:

When you use an effect granted to you by your Penumbral Shift feature, your Starmote immediately converts into its opposite Penumbral Shift form until you finish a long rest, allowing you to use the effects from that form.

Upon 14th level in this class, you condemn your foes to meet their impending final fates. Whenever a creature deals damage to a target with your Daybreak feature, the creature that takes damage can not regain hit points until the end of their next turn.

Apprentices and acolytes that belong the the Discipline of Moons are often quite varied in their motivations. Many students of this tradition seek to harness the immense gravitational and supernatural power which the single or multiple moons of a world hold for their own purposes. Some look to understand the lunar cycles, discerning their impact on destined futures. Others simply seek to joyously venerate in their view of pure untainted light.

Regardless of inspiration, true proficiency within this discipline is difficult to attain. A strong will and mental acuity are required among those who attempt mastery over the lunar spheres and light they summon, lest these petitioners of the moon find their sanity slipping away under the forceful sight they so revere.

At 6th level, you channel the pale, yet unyielding light of the moon to both hinder and reveal. The dim light from your Starmote feature now extends to 120 feet for you and to 60 feet for other creatures. The bright light from your Starmote feature also reverts a shapechanger to its original form and prevents it from assuming a different form for the duration.

Upon reaching 10th level, your study of the phases allows you to manipulate lunar skills more effectively. As an action, you can choose to flare one sphere created by your Wax and Wane feature, ending its current effect, but enacting one of the following results depending on the area's phase:

At 14th level in this class, you can align yourself with a forthcoming eclipse, taking on a form of astronomical power. Once per long rest, using your action, you can undergo a transformation gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

Often tauting themselves as the wisest, most knowledgeable, and widely traveled of astromancers, individuals belonging to the discipline of relativity are those that have come to understand and hone a connection to the most foundational powers of the cosmos. They hold a great degree of control over the nature of gravity and use this ability to exploit the passage of time around themselves and their allies. Using their bodies and other arcane abilities as loci for their power, these astromancers attempt to inhibit the mobility of their foes, while also bolstering others by forcing gravity and destiny to act in their favor.

Starting at 6th level, as an action, you can create a 20-foot radius aura of fluctuating gravitational force that is centered on you for 1 minute. When a creature that possesses one of your Starmotes starts their turn in this area, the speed that the creature gains from your Speed of Light feature is doubled until the end of their turn.

Additionally, a creature in this area that fails its saving throw against your Localize Density feature also falls prone. If you use this feature and have no remaining uses of your Localize Density feature, you regain one use of it.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 10th level, you learn the haste and slow spells, if you do not already know them, and can cast one of these spells once without expending a spell slot. The spells do not count against your number of Spells Known.

Once you cast haste or slow in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, though you can still cast the spell normally using an available spell slot.

At 14th level, you can splinter fate for a short period to use a reaction when a creature that possesses one of your Starmotes within 120 feet of you takes damage from an attack or fails a saving throw. When you use this reaction, you cause the creature to not take damage from the attack or not be affected by failing the saving throw, and instead take the damage from the attack or be affected by the effect of failing the saving throw at either the end of your next turn or the creature's next turn, which you choose at the point in the initiative that these occur (no additional reaction required). If a creature fails a saving throw that triggers this reaction from a spell that requires concentration, the spell still requires concentration from when it is cast.

You can use this feature twice, after which you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Primitive magics that draw on stellar patterns have been found to date back to the first attempts at contacting gods and divining the future. This ancient tradition of star-scrying has evolved over time, with thousands of years of star charts and celestial events being recorded and studied.

Followers of this discipline tend to be those who aim to understand the patterns of fate or glean knowledge about the designs of the gods through arcane means. The few capable of these feats are rewarded with the power of the stars; given the tools to tip the scales of destiny in their favor through manipulation of their Starmotes and spells.

Beginning at 6th level, your study of the stars allows you to further tap into latent energies beyond the world. Whenever you finish a long rest, you choose two of the following options and gain access to their effects. You lose the effects of any option you currently have whenever you a finish a long rest.

Starting at 10th level, when you use your Star Reader feature to prevent an attack roll from benefiting from advantage, you also prevent the target of the feature from benefiting from advantage on any attack roll until the end of their turn.

Additionally, when you use your Star Reader feature to expend a Starmote and give a target advantage on their next attack roll, the target also gains advantage on the next saving throw they make until the end of their next turn.

At 14th level, you have expanded your knowledge surrounding the workings of the cosmos such that you have learned to access the powers of more complicated universal relationships. You now choose three effects for your Stellar Embodiment feature and can pick your choices for this feature from the following options:

Rather than focus on the designs of fate or consistently tiring obsession with the moon, those within the Discipline of the Sun tend to spend their attention on the more practical applications of the cosmic power they wield. A proud and refined discipline of fiery martial magic, these astromancers draw from the radically powerful events that occur upon the sun's surface, as well as the daily solar tides and winds which pass beyond the world to distract and strike their foes.

Upon reaching 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, when taking the Attack action on your turn.

Also at 6th level, you regain your Firebrand feature's uses when you finish a short rest.

At 10th level, your mastery over luminosity allows you to distract enemies with woven light. When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to immediately become invisible, create an illusory duplicate of yourself in your space, and move up to half your speed. This duplicate and invisibility last until the end of your next turn, but the invisibility ends if you attack or cast a spell.

If you take the Attack action while the duplicate is present, you can make your attacks from either your own or your duplicate's position. Your duplicate uses your bonus to hit and damage, any damage it deals is considered radiant damage, and its attacks are capable of applying your Firebrand marks.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

At 14th level, when you mark a creature with your Firebrand feature you can force the target to make a Constitution saving throw against your astromancer saving throw DC or be blinded until the end of their next turn. While blinded in this way a creature is unable to make attacks of opportunity.

You must currently possess one of your Starmotes for this effect to occur. A creature that saves against this effect is not blinded and is immune to the effect for 24 hours.

Only rarely are masters of this tradition able to be found. Whether this is a result of seclusion stemming from the isolated nature of their obsessions or from the rigorous trials that they must endure for their power is unclear to outsiders.

These are the few, however, who recognize that true brilliance is not found among the stars, but in the vacuum that contains them; finding that the space between all things is not truly vacant, but rather has an essence of its own that should be harnessed and revered.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use this feature when casting a spell using a 1st or 2nd level spell slot and gain the benefits of casting the spell using one level higher of a spell slot.

For example, if you use this feature while casting the cause fear spell at 2nd level, you can frighten up to three targets, rather than two, as detailed in the cause fear spell effect for higher level casting.

The highest level spell slot that you can affect with this feature increases to 3rd level when you reach 7th level in this class and to 4th level when you reach 9th level in this class.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, your calls to the void of stars have gifted you with ephemeral wardens, brought to this world to obey your will. Using your bonus action, you can summon two Shades from Beyond in unoccupied spaces adjacent to you, using the statistics for Shadows in the Monster Manual.

These creatures gain a bonus to their attack rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1). Additionally, these entities do not reduce their target's strength with their attacks, only understand commands given by you, and are considered aberrations, not undead.

When the Shades from Beyond are summoned they can be issued orders and must be given commands as subsequent bonus actions to move or attack. These creatures will remain in your service for 10 minutes, until they die, you dismiss the entities as a bonus action, or you become incapacitated, after which they disappear.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Upon reaching 14th level, you can exercise your growing control over the vacuous nothing of space to empower your shadowy manipulations. Whenever you expend a Starmote with your Empty Space feature, you can now teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see or to swap places with one of your Shades from Beyond within 120 feet.

If you have your Shades from Beyond summoned when you use your Empty Space feature, each one can make an attack against a target within their melee attack range as a reaction immediately before or after you teleport (your choice), adding an amount of necrotic damage equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1), as well as gain temporary hit points equal to their damage done.

While astromancers focus the majority of their efforts on the celestial bodies beyond the world, there are those who recognize that the planet itself is part of the great design. Some have also discovered that the world is in dire need of protection from forces beyond this plane and pale that would seek to do it harm. Drawing on the knowledge of the cosmos to protect against these assailants, those within this discipline seek to guard the lands on which they reside for the benefit of all.

Beginning at 6th level, you become aware of the true nature of any aberration, celestial, fey, or fiend by sensing what type of creature it is upon touching them.

Additionally, when a creature of any of these types deals damage to you or an ally currently affected by your Starmote feature that you can see within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to reduce their damage taken by 1d6. This damage reduction increases to 2d6 at 10th level and 3d6 at 14th level in this class.

Upon reaching 10th level, the land itself has recognized your protective efforts. You learn the wall of stone spell, if you do not already know it, and can cast it once without expending a spell slot. This spell does not count against your number of Spells Known.

Once you cast wall of stone in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, though you can still cast it normally using an available spell slot.

Starting at 14th level, when you expend a Starmote on a target with your Star Shield feature, you can choose for your target to gain a lingering mote of coalesced stardust for up to 1 hour. While a creature possesses this Dustmote, they have resistance to one damage type of your choice other than bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage that you select when the Dustmote is created, as the scintillating particles ward away harm.

A creature that possesses a Dustmote can also choose to expend it as an action, causing its stardust to burst forth and forcing all other creatures within a 10-foot radius sphere centered on the creature to make a Constitution saving throw against your astromancer spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature is blinded for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, an affected creature can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the effect ends.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
