Circle of the Stars Features

Star Map

Level 3

You've created a star map as part of your celestial research. It's a small object, and it can serve as your Spellcasting Focus. Once per turn, when you finish a Long Rest, you can choose to study your map and gain a temporary bonus to an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw of your choice.

Starry Form

Level 3

As a Bonus Action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape to take on a starry form rather than a beast form. While in Starry Form, you retain your hit point total and can't be reduced below 1 hit point. You have a Flying Speed equal to your Walking Speed.

Cosmic Omen

Level 6

When you finish a Long Rest, you can consult your Star Map and select an Omen. When you cast a spell or make an attack roll or saving throw, you can gain a benefit related to your chosen Omen.

Twinkling Constellations

Level 10

The constellations of your Starry Form are improved. Your 1d8 Archer and Bowl increase to 2d8.

Full of Stars

Level 14

While your Starry Form is active, you become partially incorporeal, gaining Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage from non-magical attacks.
