##### ON THE COVER The stars shine defiantly through the clouds. ___ First Release: December 2018 Second Release: December 2019 \pagebreak # Part 1: Races
This chapter presents four new races or
subraces to supplement those in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works: star genasi, cosmic gnome, starforged, and vandori. These new options are available when you make a character, provided that your DM allows them in your campaign. Races and the cultures surrounding them can have a big impact on a campaign's setting, and thus your DM should thoroughly consider the impact of allowing these races in your campaign. ## Star Genasi *"My mother once told me a story about the stars, heavenly entities that guide us from above, constantly watching over us from the night sky. She told me she'd met one once. I had thought she was joking."*
— Cecelia Winnows, Astrognomer
### Nebulous Origins The star genasi are born from the wishes of a mortal upon a star. They are the might and mind of heavenly bodies, and draw their power from the glowing core they carry in place of a heart, a shard of their parent star. This core grants them the power to illuminate the dark. ### Otherworldly Appearance Star genasi are strange creatures, with dark-blue skin that blends with the night sky and eyes containing the light of thousands of galaxies. They have silvery hair that shimmers with starlight in the light of day, the specks of light that infuse their skin and hair becoming less pronounced during the daytime. However, their eyes still bear the light of countless stars. \columnbreak ### Star Genasi Names Star genasi use the naming conventions of the people among whom they were raised. They might later assume the names of constellations or stars, such as Orion, Polaris, or Vega. Some take on more vague names to reflect their origins, such as Nebula, Nova, or Starlight. ### Star Genasi Traits When you create a genasi character, you may choose the star genasi as an alternative to the subraces in the *Elemental Evil Player's Companion*. For your convenience, the traits of the genasi and the star genasi are combined here. ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1. ***Age.*** Genasi mature at about the same rate as humans and reach adulthood in their late teens. They live somewhat longer than humans do, up to 120 years. ***Alignment.*** Independent and self-reliant, genasi tend toward a neutral alignment. ***Size.*** Genasi are as varied as their mortal parents but are generally built like humans, standing anywhere from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium. ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet. ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Primordial. Primordial is a guttural language, filled with harsh syllables and hard consonants. ***Darkvision.*** You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. ***Radiant Resistance.*** You have resistance to radiant damage. ***Reach for the Stars.*** You know the *twinkle* cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the *starlight shroud* spell as a 2nd-level spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the *dazzling gleam* spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
> ##### Star Genasi Variant > Though most star genasi are born from living stars, sometimes the situations of their birth can result in the collapse of a star into a black hole. > > If your DM allows it, your star genasi character can forgo Reach for the Stars and instead gain the following feature: > > > > ***Black Hole Magic.*** You know the *twinkle* cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the *gravity pulse* spell as a 2nd-level spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the *darkness* spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

## Cosmic Gnome *"The ongoings on the surface interest me not. Mine eyes need look only to the heavens."*
— Cecelia Winnows, Astrognomer
### Not so Different Cosmic gnomes live quiet and reclusive lives. The few that do encounter them often mistake them for their rock or forest counterparts, due in part from the visual similarities they share with them. Cosmic gnomes retain some of the tinkering prowess that their rock gnome counterparts are renowned for, directing these talents toward the development of astrolabes and telescopes to further their astronomical research. ### Eyes to the Sky Cosmic gnomes are defined primarily by their intense focus toward the heavens. Utilizing their longevity, a single cosmic gnome can study and record the motion of planets and stars in the sky for hundreds of years. Their findings often spearhead developments in meteorology and astral magics. ### Seers and Scholars The depth of a cosmic gnome's knowledge grants it foresight that some find nearly magical. Many become seers or esteemed astrognomers, highly sought after as advisors by royal courts for their divinations. \columnbreak
### Cosmic Gnome Traits When you create a gnome character, you may choose the cosmic gnome as an alternative to the subraces in the *Player's Handbook*. For your convenience, the traits of the gnome and the cosmic gnome are combined here. ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1. ***Age.*** Cosmic gnomes enjoy relatively long lifespans compared to their forest counterparts. They mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 60. They can live 500 to almost 800 years. ***Alignment.*** Cosmic gnomes study the laws that govern the astral bodies, and tend towards lawful alignments. ***Size.*** Cosmic gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small. ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet. ***Gnome Cunning.*** You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic. ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnomish. ***Darkvision.*** You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. ***Astronomical Knowledge.*** Whenever you make a check pertaining to the stars or other cosmic bodies, you can add twice your proficiency bonus, instead of any proficiency bonus you normally apply. ***Star Seer.*** You know the *guidance* cantrip. Once you reach 5th level, you can also cast the *augury* spell as a ritual. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You can only cast these spells outside and at night, with a clear view of the sky.

\pagebreakNum ## Starforged *"I remember it so clearly, it was fleeting, but it was there, it came as soon as it arrived. My first thought, the first thing my core every thought of, a simple phrase: Why am I here?"*
— Hem Haywire, Starforged
### Sentient Constructs Constructs created from the parts of meteorite or comets, some of these mindless automatons develop sentience after a single catalyzing thought. This thought ruminates within the starforged as it continues its designated function, but slowly grows into more and more thoughts, until flowering into sentience and a concept of self. Though this process varies from between starforged, each one's first thought remains universally the single thing that it dedicates its life to unraveling. ### Born of Space Starforged are a singular bright and white core surrounded by rock and ice. The core acts as the brain for the creature as well as its mouth and eyes. The rock and ice that makes them up floats around this core, but will move to a position in a way that simulates a humanoid. Starforged rarely form heads, however, preferring to let their cores rest in the middle of the chest instead. \columnbreak ### Driving Question A starforged's life is dedicated to understanding its first thought, normally to answering its question or unveiling the meaning behind that thought. Starforged are innately curious about the world, learning by testing and observing how things work. They tend to be empathetic to other humanoids wanting to achieve humanity. They can however be resentful to humans if their master had treated them badly enough before their awakening. This makes them violent and quick to anger when humanoids are hostile towards them. ### Starforged Names Nameless before achieving sentience, a starforged chooses or is given a name after gaining a sense of self. Names given to a starforged by another creature take after that creature's language and culture. Names chosen by a starforged for itself often relate to its first thought, sometimes creating anagrams of the thought. Thoughts such as "Who am I?" can be rearranged into names like Whaimo, or abbreviated into names such as Ami. ### Starforged Traits Your starforged character has certain traits derived from its cosmic and constructed nature. ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other score of your choice increases by 1. ***Age.*** After achieving sentience, starforged mature at the same age as humans. They can live until their core run out of energy, a process that can take up to 700 years. ***Alignment.*** Most starforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality, but some have absorbed the morality—or lack thereof—of the beings they served with. ***Size.*** Most starforged stand between 5 and 6½ feet tall. Your size is Medium. ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet. ***Luminous Core.*** You know the *light* cantrip. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for it. ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. ***Starforged Resilience.*** Your constructed and cosmic nature grants you the following benefits: - You have resistance to cold damage. - You are immune to disease. - You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe. - You don't need to sleep and don't suffer the effects of exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can't put you to sleep. ***Natural Armor.*** Your body is composed of metal, stone, and strands of starlight. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor. ***Sentry's Rest.*** When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours of it in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

\pagebreakNum ## Vandori *"Sure I've been asked if I actually believe any of it, more'n I can count. I tread a fine line between history and storytellin' I'll admit, but the good histories don't need no polishin'. I reckon that if you take a hard look around at the world we're livin' in and still wag your eyebrows at what I've got to say you're probably better at foolin' yourself than I'll ever be."*
— Godseye Rax the Dim, Vandori Bard
### Nomadic Folk The Vandori are itinerant laborers, treasure seekers, scavengers, and nomads that claim to have been driven out of their ancestral homes, cast aside and forgotten by history. Forever spinning tales of dazzling adventures and battles fought among the stars, the boisterous children of the stars share the trackless wandering of those same celestial bodies as their nomadic bands drift across the countries of the world. ### Seekers of Stars As the stars inexorably move across the sky they drag the vandori bands behind them. Although a vandor does not usually follow organized religions or believe in the gods, each band is tied together by a mutual spirituality. Each band believes in the divine power of their own star, which they follow as they wander. While some vandori believe their star is their ancestral homeland, others believe it is a benevolent being that watches over the good fortunes of the band. ### Old Souls The vandori appear weather-beaten and wrinkled, even the young among them. Their skin runs from a dark-blue to a ruddy purple, their hair white or gray. For all that, the eyes of a vandor seem to hold a mischievous glint that belies their true nature. While they are not naturally predisposed to large, bulky frames the vandor have a certain hardiness to them that sees them through rough times. \columnbreak ### Vandori Names Vandori take the name of their guiding star, accompanied by a familiar name. At a young age they are granted an epithet, which can evolve and change through the course of ones life. In conversations, a vandor is usually addressed by his or her familiar name. **Male Familiar Names:** Rax, Horvath, Pal, Miska, Bodnar, Vazol, Somogi, Borbel **Female Familiar Names:** Sandora, Illes, Nemeth, Bella, Surana, Kelema **Epithets:** the Bold, the Slow, the Ashen, the Younger, the Boisterous, the Crow, the Fleet, the Steadfast > ##### Names of the Stars > The stars can vary depending on where your adventure is taking place. For instance the vandori of the Sword Coast take the names of stars and constellations like the Centaur, the Harp, or the Caltrop. In Zakhara they may follow Haku, Kor, or Zann. It is up to the DM to establish what stars and constellations make sense for the setting. ### Vandori Traits Your vandori character has certain traits obtained from a nomadic lifestyle. ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2, and one other score of your choice increases by 1. ***Age.*** Vandori achieve maturity at the same rate as humans and reach adulthood around the age of twenty. Disparate lifestyles and living conditions means the life expectancy of any given vandor vary wildly, with the oldest living often exceeding 120 years of age. ***Alignment.*** Other than an aversion to organized law, it is difficult to pin down a consensus among the vandor. Although they often trend chaotic, many attempt to remain detached from either extreme and resolve to live a moderate and neutral lifestyle. ***Size.*** A vandor stands between 5½ and 6½ feet in height. Your size is Medium. ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet. ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice. ***Environmentally Adaptive.*** As a nomadic race, the vandori have become skilled in quickly adapting to harsh environments. Once you succeed a saving throw against an extreme climate, you become adapted to the climate. This adaptation lasts until you spend more than 1 day in a different climate. ***Natural Flair.*** The vandori share a flair for the dramatic and can always spin a far-fetched tale to support their arguments. When you make a Charisma check, you can choose to add 1d10 to the roll. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ***Storied Past.*** You gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Arcana, History, or Nature.

\pagebreakNum # Part 2: Subclasses
This chapter offers twelve new subclasses
to supplement those in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works: one for each class. These new options are available to when you make a character, provided that your DM allows them in your campaign. ## Primal Path At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature. The following is an additional option available to barbarians, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works. ### Path of the Comet Blasting across the battlefield in a shell of fire and ice, barbarians who follow the path of the comet are blessed with tremendous speed and power. As with the celestial voyagers that pass overhead, so too do these warriors put on brilliant displays, engraved in the hearts and minds of those that witness them. ##### Path of the Comet Features | Barbarian Level | Feature | |:----:|:-----------| | 3rd | Coldfire Slam, Comet Dash | | 6th | Shoot Across the Sky | | 10th | Coldfire Aura | | 14th | Cosmic Charge | \columnbreak #### Coldfire Slam Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you channel the power of comets when you slam into enemies. While you are raging, you can surround yourself with a layer of either fire or ice. When you shove a creature, it takes damage equal to your Strength modifier plus your rage bonus damage if you win the contested ability check. The damage is cold or fire; you choose the type of damage when you begin your rage. #### Comet Dash At 3rd level, the cosmic powers you emulate allow you to barrel through your opponents. While you are raging, when you move straight towards a creature and then make a melee weapon attack or shove, the creature takes an additional 1d6 damage for each 10 feet you move straight toward it before the attack or shove, up to a maximum of 3d6. This maximum increases to 4d6 at 6th level, 5d6 at 10th level, and 6d6 at 14th level. The damage is the same type as your Coldfire Slam. #### Shoot Across the Sky At 6th level, your speed empowers your ability to leap. While you are raging, your jump distance is tripled, and you do not take fall damage from a height of less than 100 feet. #### Coldfire Aura At 10th level, the comet that surrounds you expands. At the start of your turn while you are raging, each creature within 5 feet of you takes 1d6 damage. The damage is the same type as your Coldfire Slam. #### Cosmic Charge At 14th level, your charge is nigh unstoppable. When you take the Dash action, you can move through the spaces of Large or smaller creatures. Each creature you move through must make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, they are knocked prone.

### Path of the Storm Herald Herelds of the solar storm harness the chaotic might of the sun's light, using it to blind and dazzle their foes. ##### Path of the Storm Herald Features | Barbarian Level | Feature | |:----:|:-----------| | 3rd | Storm Aura | | 6th | Storm Soul | | 10th | Shielding Storm | | 14th | Raging Storm | #### Storm Aura Starting at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose desert, sea, tundra, or solar. Your aura's effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your environment choice whenever you gain a level in this class. If your aura's effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. ***Solar.*** When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 1d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level. \columnbreak
#### Storm Soul At 6th level, the storm grants you benefits even when your aura isn't active. The benefits are based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura. ***Solar.*** You gain resistance to radiant damage, and you can't be blinded. Moreover, as an action, you can touch an object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension and isn't being worn or carried by anyone else and cause it to emit light for 1 minute. The object emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet, and the ceases to shed light if you use this ability on another object or dismiss it as an action. #### Shielding Storm At 10th level, you learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from the Storm Soul feature while the creature is in your Storm Aura. #### Raging Storm At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura. ***Solar.*** When a creature fails the saving throw against the effect of your Storm Aura, it is blinded until the end of your next turn. > ##### Path of the Storm Herald > The Path of the Storm Herald can be found in *Xanathar's Guide to Everything*. The Solar Storm environment is presented as an additional environment option for barbarians that follow this primal path.

## Bard College At 3rd level, a bard gains the Bard College feature. The following is an additional option available to bards, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works. ### College of Superstars The College of Superstars is home to the most ambitious performers, artists, singers, and dancers. Bards of this college seek to dazzle audiences with their brilliance and talent, competing endlessly with one another to become the world's brightest star. ##### College of Superstars Features | Bard Level | Feature | |:----:|:-----------| | 3rd | Steal the Show, Live Show | | 6th | Star Power | | 14th | Idol's Aura | #### Steal the Show When you join the College of Superstars at 3rd level, you learn use your performance to cover for your allies. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll or ability check, you can use your reaction to steal the show. Make a Charisma (Performance) check and replace the original attack roll or ability check with the result, even if it is lower.

\pagebreakNum ## Arcane Tradition At 2nd level, a wizard gains the Arcane Tradition feature. The following is an additional option available to wizards, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works. ### School of Astronomy The observation of the stars and celestial bodies of the greater universe is known as astronomy, with wizards who practice this tradition being known as astronomers. They study the different properties of the stars, and learn to create their own miniature celestial bodies. ##### School of Astronomy Features | Wizard Level | Feature | |:----:|:-----------| | 2nd | Astrological Augury, Spell Stars | | 6th | Realign | | 10th | Arcane Constellation | | 14th | Constellate | #### Astrological Augury When you choose this tradition, at 2nd level, you can study the stars to gain knowledge on a variety of subjects. When you finish a long rest, you choose one skill of your choice from any of the following: Arcana, History, Religion, or Nature. You gain proficiency with that skill, or if you already have proficiency in the skill, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with that skill, until the end of your next long rest. #### Spell Stars Also, at 2nd level, you can conjure forth stars when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. When you do so, you choose an unoccupied space within range of the spell, and a spell star appears at the point for 1 minute. The spell star provides bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can have a number of spell stars at once equal to half your wizard level. While you are within 60 feet of a spell star, you can cast spells as though you were in the spell star's space. Additionally, you can use your bonus action to cause any number of spell stars within 60 feet of yourself explode. Each creature within 5 feet of a spell star must suceed on a Dexterity saving throw against your wizard spell save DC or take 2d6 radiant damage. A creature in the area of more than one spell star burst is affected only once. #### Realign At 6th level, you learn to shift your stars as you desire. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move a spell star within 60 feet of you up to 30 feet in any direction. If you ram the spell star into a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d6 radiant damage and the spell star disappears. \columnbreak #### Arcane Constellation Starting at 10th level, you can channel magic between your stars as if they were portals. When you cast a spell with an area of effect that includes one of your spell stars, you can choose another spell star within 60 feet of you to carry the effect. Each creature within 10 feet of the chosen spell star is also affected by your spell. #### Constellate At 14th level, you can channel your arcane energy to create a constellation in an instant. As an action, you can expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to create a number of spell stars equal to the slot level, placing each star at a point you can see within 60 feet of you.

\pagebreakNum # Part 3: Spells
This chapter offers new spells for many of
the classes in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works. These spells relate to stars, space, and the cosmos. Your DM determines whether these spells are available at character creation, or whether they are discovered in libraries or observatories or other storehouse of magical knowledge. When a DM adds spells to a campaign, clerics, druids, and paladins require special consideration. When characters of those classes prepare their spells, they have access to the entire spell list for their class. Given that fact, the DM should be cautious about making all of these new spells available to a player who is overwhelmed when presented with many options. ## Spell Lists The following spell lists show which of the new spells are for a class.

\pagebreakNum ## Spell Descriptions The spells are presented in alphabetical order. #### Black Hole *8th-level transmutation (Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** 60 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute ___ You condense gravity into an immeasurably dense orb at a point you can see within the spell's range. The orb fills a 10-foot radius sphere around it with darkness, which no light, magical or mundane, can illuminate. When a creature enters within 30 feet of the orb for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw or be pulled 10 feet toward the orb. When a creature enters within 5 feet of the orb for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. The orb's gravitation makes moving away from it incredibly difficult. While within 10 feet of the orb, a creature moving away from the orb must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. While within 30 feet of the orb, a creature moving away from the orb must spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pulled into orb. Small nonmagical objects that come within 5 feet of the orb are immediately destroyed. \columnbreak #### Celestial Pyre *4th-level necromancy (Bard, Cleric, Paladin)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 hour - **Range:** Touch - **Components:** V, S, M (100 lbs of firewood, which the spell consumes) - **Duration:** Until dispelled or triggered ___ You can cast this spell only at night. You memorialize a dead creature you touch, turning it into a constellation, provided that it has been dead no longer than 1 day. The target's body dissolves into stardust and rises into the sky. The spell effectively extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead, since days spent under the influence of this spell don't count against the time limit of spells such as *raise dead*. A spell that targets the dead but usually require a body can be cast targeting this constellation instead, provided the spell is cast at night and the caster can see the target's constellation. If the target of this spell is returned to life, this spell ends and the constellation fades. #### Dazzling Gleam *2nd-level evocation (Bard, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warlock)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** Self (30-foot radius) - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous ___ You release a burst of light.

Each mote provides dim light in a 5-foot radius and lasts for the duration or until it explodes. When a creature moves within 5 feet of a mote or moves away from a mote within 5 feet of it, the mote explodes. Each creature within 5 feet of the mote must make a Dexterity saving throw.

On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your bonus action to repeat this effect, targeting the same creature or a different one. A creature that can't see you or that can't be charmed is unaffected by this spell. \columnbreak
#### Golden Glow *5th-level evocation (Cleric, Paladin)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** 30 feet - **Components:** V, S, M (a golden orb worth 100gp, which the spell consumes) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute ___ You point at a spot within 30ft of you that you can see, a bright orb of sunlight takes form there.

When a creature enters the bright light for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw.

An undead makes its saving throw with disadvantage, and the spell deals maximum damage to it. ***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell deals an additional 1d8 damage for each slot level above 5th. #### Gravity Pulse *1st-level transmutation (Sorcerer, Wizard)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** Self (15-foot radius) - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous ___ You concentrate gravity around your body.

\pagebreakNum #### Guiding Light *3rd-level divination (ritual) (Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 minute - **Range:** Special - **Components:** V, S, M (a piece of flint, which the spell consumes) - **Duration:** 8 hours ___ You can cast this spell only at night. You speak the name of a creature or location known to you to be the target of this spell. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you, and cannot be under more than 100 feet of dirt or stone. A shining star appears high in the sky above the target's location, visible only at night. Your familiarity with the target determines the accuracy of the star's location. The DM rolls d100 and consults the table. ##### Star Location | Target Familiarity | Mishap | Similar Target | Off Target | On Target | |:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| |Very familiar|01-05|06-13|14-24|25-100| |Seen casually|01-33|34-43|44-53|54-100| |Viewed once|01-43|44-53|54-73|74-100| |Description|01-43|44-53|54-73|74-100| |False description|01-50|51-100|—|—| ***Familiarity.*** "Very familiar" is a creature or place you have met with or been to very often, a creature or place you have carefully studied, or a creature or place you can see when you cast the spell. "Seen casually" is someone or someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren't very familiar. "Viewed once" is a creature or place you have seen once, possibly using magic. "Description" is a creature or place whose location and appearance you know through someone else's description, perhaps from a map. "False description" is a creature or place that doesn't exist. Perhaps you scried an illusion, or you are attempting to locate a familiar creature or location that no longer exists. ***On Target.*** The star appears directly over the target's location. ***Off Target.*** The star appear a random distance away from the target's location in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10 × 1d10 percent of the distance between you and the target. For example, if the target was 120 miles away from you, and the DM rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then the star would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. The DM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. ***Similar Target.*** The star appears over a different target that's visually or thematically similar to the target. Generally, the star appears over the closest similar target, but since the spell has no range limit, it could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane. ***Mishap.*** The star appears in your hands and then explodes. Each creature within 30 feet of the star must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \columnbreak #### Icy Ring *3rd-level conjuration (Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** Self - **Components:** V, S, M (a shard of ice or glass of water) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute ___ You form a 5-foot thick ring of dust and ice that circles around you, with the outer edge of the ring 10 feet away from you. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. As a bonus action on your turn, you can increase or decrease the ring's radius from you by 5 feet, to a maximum distance of 20 feet away from you. The ring retains its 5-foot thickness, but its radius grows or shrinks. ***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd. #### Illuminate *Evocation cantrip (Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** 10 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous ___ You release a cloud of shimmering gas at a creature you can see within range.

Within the spell's area, spells that can be cast only at night (such as *create undead*) can be cast regardless of time of day. When you cast this spell, choose one of the following effects. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to choose an effect, selecting the same effect or a different one. ***Dreamland.*** The terrain within the spell's area shapes to your desires. The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the illusion can attempt an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain. You can end this effect as an action on your turn. ***Grim.*** You imbue false life into a corpse you can see within the spell's area. It rises as a skeleton if you choose a pile of bones, or a zombie if you choose a fleshy corpse. On each of your turns, you can use an action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within the spell's area (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. The creature reverts to a corpse or pile of bones when the spell ends. ***Shooting Star.*** A star streaks across the sky. One creature of your choice who can see the star gains 25 temporary hit points. While the creature has these hit points, it immune to fear. ***Slumber.*** You inflict drowsiness on a creature of your choice within the spell's area. If the target has less than 50 hit points, it fall unconscious until the spell ends, it takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake. ***Star Storm.*** Ten stars fall from the sky. Each star hits a creature of your choice within the spell's area. Each star deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target (roll damage for each star separately). The stars all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. Each time you use this effect, the sky grows darker. After the 10th use, the sky above becomes entirely dark, and you can no longer use this effect. \columnbreak #### Quasar *6th-level evocation (Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard)* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** Self (100-foot line) - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous ___ You produce a beam of radiance in a line, 100 feet long and 5 feet wide.

A target takes 10d8 radiant damage and is blinded for 1 minute on a failed save, or half as much damage and is not blinded on a successful one. A creature blinded by this spell makes a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded. ***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 6th.

The spell ends if one of the creatures is killed. A creature can only benefit from this spell once in its lifetime.

This chapter includes new creatures for
your players to face as they run through your campaign, supplementing those found in the *Player's Handbook*, *Monster Manual*, and other published Wizards of the Coast works. These new creatures relate to stars, space, and the cosmos. ## Astral Lynx These strange creatures, appearing like a lynx with vividly multicolored fur and much of their flesh missing, are hunters that reside in the Astral Plane. They venture forth to hunt, or to explore the many wonders of the worlds—and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. ### Surreal Presence Astral lynxes carry with them a portion of their home plane, lending a dreamlike quality to their presence. Their coloration, posture, and even size are not fixed, and often differ from perspective to perspective. Some stories tell of these creatures wandering through mouse holes, walking across lakes, or pawing at the heavens, batting the very stars around the sky. ***Surreal Size.*** A astral lynx's size is subjective and inconstant. The same lynx may barely fit through a door one moment, then leap nimbly through a keyhole the next, with observers disagreeing on how it occured. \columnbreak ### Hunters from the Emptiness Creatures on the Astral Plane neither age nor suffer from hunger or thirst. Like many creatures that live there, astral lynxes must go elsewhere to grow and raise young. To fuel that, though, they must hunt, and they do so by diving into the Material Plane to ambush prey. ***Unearthly Patience.*** The unchanging nature of the Astral Plane negates any urgency in a hunt, and astral lynxes are content to wait weeks, months, or even years for the perfect moment to strike. ***Planar Attunement.*** Astral lynxes always know the distance and direction to the nearest planar portal. They can also see from the Astral Plane into the Material Plane and vice versa, allowing them to watch unseen as they hunt or investigate. ### Insatiable Curiosity Their intelligence leaves astral lynxes with a second need that drives them from their home: curiosity. They are exceptionally inquisitive, and when not hunting, can be found sightseeing across the planes. Astral lynxes venture forth from their home to see the wonders of the cosmos. Outside the Astral Plane, they are most commonly seen in places of great beauty, settlements with cultural significance, and sites where powerful things lie. Their innate desire to touch interesting things and play in interesting places can have wildly varying implications, from breaking a single blade of grass to accidentally toppling buildings with yard-wide paws and twists of space.

PART 5 | CREATURES
\pagebreakNum ## Constellate Creatures When creatures of myth are slain, the gods or other celestial powers sometimes deem it fitting to memorialize them in the sky as constellations. Typically drawn from myths and legends, creatures who become constellations are blessed by the higher powers. Constellate creatures maintain the same personalities as they did in life, whether that be the person a of a brave hunter or a menacing lion. In places of concentrated cosmic energy, or when their mythos is heavily invoked, these creatures will often return to the mortal realm, either to defend the area or to warn travelers. All constellate creatures gain similar features, appearing as swarms of small stars connected by threads of starlight, and gain resistance to mundane weaponry, astral attacks, and the ability to manipulate starlight motes. Gifted with this power, constellate creatures are able to set traps using these starlight motes, piercing through unsuspecting victims with thin strands of light. ### Constellate Creature Template An abberation, beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity can become a constellate creature. When a creature becomes constellate, it retains all its statistics except as noted below. ***Type.*** The creature becomes a celestial instead of its normal type. ***Senses.*** The creature gains darkvision out to a radius of 60 feet. ***Resistances.*** The creature gains resistance to bludgeon- ing, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, if does not already have these resistances. ***Astral Attacks.*** The creature's weapon attacks deal force damage instead of their normal type. ***Languages.*** If the creature can speak, it learns Celestial in addition to any other languages it knows. ***Create Star Mote.*** As a bonus action, the creature can place a mote of starlight in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it. This mote emits dim light in a 5-foot radius, and lasts for 1 minute. It can place a number of motes up to twice its challenge rating (minimum of 2). ***New Action: Detonate Star Mote.*** The creature can cause any number of motes it created within 60 feet of it to explode. Each creature within 5 feet of a mote must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 radiant damage. A creature in the area of more than one mote burst is affected only once. The DC for this saving throw is equal to 8 + the creature's proficiency bonus + the creature's Constitution modifier. ***New Action: Starline.*** The creature can form strands of starlight between all motes it created within 60 feet of it. If two motes are separated by a barrier or other solid object, the strand between them will not form. If a strand passes through a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d10 radiant damage for each mote placed on a failed save. Once the creature uses this action, all the motes it placed disappear. The DC for this saving throw is equal to 8 + the creature's proficiency bonus + the creature's Constitution modifier. \columnbreak #### Sample Constellate Creature Here the constellate creature template has been applied to a human archer and a lion representing the constellations Orion and Leo respectively. ___ >## Constellate Archer >*Medium celestial, any alignment* >___ >- **Armor Class** 16 (studded leather armor) >- **Hit Points** 75 (10d8 + 30) >- **Speed** 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|11 (+0)|18 (+4)|16 (+3)|11 (+0)|13 (+1)|10 (+0)| >___ >- **Skills** Acrobatics +6, Perception +3 >- **Damage Resistances** bludgeoning, piercing, slashing damage from nonmagical attacks >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13 >- **Languages** Common, Celestial >- **Challenge** 3 (700 XP) >___ >***Archer's Eye (3/Day).*** As a bonus action, the archer can add 1d10 to its next attack or damage roll with a longbow or shortbow. > >***Create Star Mote.*** As a bonus action, the archer can place a mote of starlight in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it.

DMs should consider the mythology of the campaign, and create constellate creatures that best align with the constellations and legends of the setting. > > For example, in the Forgotten Realms setting, constellations called the Centaur and the Woman Warrior are viewable over the Sword Coast North in summer. To represent the constellations, the constellate creature template can be applied to a centaur and a knight or other humanoid warrior. The constellation named Maerilzoun, also called the Serpent, can be represented by applying the constellate creature template to a giant constrictor snake. \columnbreak ___ >## Constellate Lion >*Large celestial, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 12 >- **Hit Points** 26 (4d10 + 4) >- **Speed** 50 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|17 (+3)|15 (+2)|13 (+1)|3 (–4)|12 (+1)|8 (–1)| >___ >- **Skills** Perception +3, Stealth +4 >- **Damage Resistances** bludgeoning, piercing, slashing damage from nonmagical attacks >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13 >- **Languages** — >- **Challenge** 1 (200 XP) >___ >***Keen Smell.*** The lion has advantage on Wisdom (perception) checks that rely on smell. > >***Pack Tactics.*** The lion has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the lion's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated. > >***Pounce.*** If the lion moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

\pagebreakNum ## Dancing Star Under the pale light of the moon, in quiet forest groves, small fey creatures shimmer and sway. More jovial than their aggressive sprite kin, dancing stars are creatures of constant energy. ***Forest Tricksters.*** These dancing stars are innate pranksters, stopping at nothing for their amusement, but laughing and singing the entire way. Dancing stars lure wanderers in with their delightful songs, only to bewitch the pour souls or rob them blind. ***Fey Outcasts.*** Though jovial and bewitching, the dancing stars' antics have a tendency to draw the ire of other fey creatures. As such, dancing stars usually live in communities of their own, on the boundaries of fey territory. ___ >## Dancing Star >*Tiny fey, chaotic neutral* >___ >- **Armor Class** 13 >- **Hit Points** 5 (2d4 + 0) >- **Speed** 20 ft., fly 40 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|4 (–3)|17 (+3)|11 (+0)|13 (+1)|12 (+1)|15 (+2)| >___ >- **Skills** Acrobatics +5, Persuasion +4, Performance +4 >- **Damage Resistances** radiant >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 11 >- **Languages** Common, Sylvan >- **Challenge** 1/8 (25 XP) >___ >***Star Dance.*** If the dancing star uses its Enchanting Pirouette on its turn, it can take the Dodge action as a bonus action. > >### Actions >***Star Mote.*** *Ranged Spell Attack:* +4 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. *Hit:* 3 (1d4 + 1) force damage. > >***Enchanting Pirouette (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).*** The dancing star sways in a sensational dance.

\pagebreakNum ## Krenelisk Distant cousins of the terrestrial ankhegs, the krenelisk are a spacefaring species that dwell on asteroids and moons. Far more intelligent than their ankheg kin, krenelisk band together in hives, hunting in highly organized teams and serving a single krenelisk queen. ***Labyrinth Diggers.*** The krenelisk retain the burrowing tendencies of their ankheg kin, and use their powerful mandibles to dig winding tunnels deep beneath the ground. Krenelisk tunnels wind erratically and in all directions, making them difficult to navigate. A tactic utilized by the krenelisk involves burrowing under the feet of unsuspecting prey, then dragging them into the maze-like tunnels. ***Hive Psionics.*** A krenelisk queen is a being of immense power, able to grant her entire hive limited psionic abilities. this hive structure developed along-side the krenelisk's psychic sensitivity, but also serves as the creatures' greatest weakness. If a krenelisk queen is killed, all members of her hive lose their psionic abilities. ***Invisible Hunters.*** Subsisting off various space creatures, krenelisks hunt as a pack. Utilizing psionic powers, they bend rays of light around their form, making them nearly impossible to see. ### A Krenelisk Queen's Lair At the heart of the krenelisk hives's labyrinth lies the krenelisk queen's lair. Burrowed deep underground, the queen's lair typically has multiple entrances to better facilitate the movement of other krenelisk around her. As the queen's primary task is the creation of more krenelisk, the floor of her lair is lined with acid-pitted bones and rotting carcasses. The lair also serves as a psionic echo chamber of sorts, amplifying the queen's psionic powers and shielding her from detection. #### Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the krenelisk queen takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the krenelisk queen can't use the same effect two rounds in a row: - One pile of bones that the krenelisk queen can see within 120 feet of it rise up in a skeletal hand. Any creature on the ground within 10 feet of the hand must succeed on a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be restrained. - The psychic energy around the krenelisk queen resonates, filling the lair. Each non-krenelisk creature within 60 feet of the krenelisk queen must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or become stunned until the end of its next turn. - The ground shakes around the krenelisk queen. Each creature within 30 feet of the krenelisk queen must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. \columnbreak #### Regional Effects A region containing a krenelisk hive buzzes with the activity of these psionic hunters, and comes under one or more of the following effects: - Wildlife within 3 miles of the lair begin disappearing. - Water sources within 6 miles of the lair become acidic and foul. - Humanoids within 10 miles of the lair begin suffering painful migraine. If the krenelisk queen dies, the remaining krenelisk scatter in other directions, seeking a new home and a new queen. It takes a krenelisk 3d6 years to mature into a queen. ___ > ## Krenelisk > *Large monstrosity, unaligned* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 16 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 102 (12d10 + 36) > - **Speed** 30 ft., burrow 10 ft. > ___ > |STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| > |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| > |19 (+4)|13 (+1)|17 (+3)|9 (–1)|13 (+1)|6 (–2)| > ___ > - **Skills** Perception +4, Stealth +4 > - **Damage Vulnerabilities** psychic > - **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., tremorsense 60 ft., passive Perception 14 > - **Languages** Krenelisk, telepathy 120 ft. > - **Challenge** 5 (1800 XP) > ___ > ***Spacefaring.*** The krenelisk doesn't need to breathe. > > ***Hive Psionics.*** The krenelisk's psionic spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 10, +2 to hit with spell attacks).

\pagebreakNum ## Meteor Golem Powerful golems crafted from extraterrestrial metals, the meteor golem is a powerful warrior wrought of exotic metals. A meteor golem's shape can be worked into any form, though most are fashioned to look like giant suits of armor. Its durable form allows it to fall from great heights, slamming into the ground with destructive force. A meteor golem's body contains veins of exotic metals such as adamantine and mithral, protecting their bodies from all weapons but those imbued with magic or made from adamantine. ***Elemental Spirit in Material Form.*** The construction of a golem begins with the building of its body, requiring great command of the craft of sculpting, stonecutting, ironworking, or surgery. Sometimes a golem's creator is the master of the art, but often the individual who desires a golem must enlist master artisans to do the work. After constructing the body from a meteor, the golem's creator infuses it with a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Earth. This tiny spark of life has no memory, personality, or history. It is simply the impetus to move and obey. This process binds the spirit to the artificial body and subjects it to the will of the golem's creator. \columnbreak
***Strike Force.*** The creator of a meteor golem will typically utilize its destructive powers offensively rather than defensively, as their impact power has a propensity for property destruction that makes them ill suited as guardians. ***Blind Obedience.*** When its creator or possessor is on hand to command it, a golem performs flawlessly. If the golem is left without instructions or is incapacitated, it continues to follow its last orders to the best of its ability. When it can't fulfill its orders, a golem might react violently—or stand and do nothing. A golem that has been given conflicting orders sometimes alternates between them. A golem can't think or act for itself. Though it understands its commands perfectly, it has no grasp of language beyond that understanding, and can't be reasoned with or tricked with words. ***Constructed Nature.*** A golem doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. ___ >## Meteor Golem >*Large construct, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 18 (natural armor) >- **Hit Points** 142 (15d10 + 60) >- **Speed** 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|22 (+6)|11 (+0)|19 (+4)|3 (–4)|11 (+0)|1 (–5)| >___ >- **Damage Immunities** cold, fire, poison, psychic, bludgeoning, piercing, slashing from nonmagical attacks that aren't adamantine >- **Condition Immunities** charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned >- **Senses** darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 10 >- **Languages** Understands the languages of its creator but can't speak >- **Challenge** 12 (8400 XP) >___ >***Immutable Form.*** The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. > >***Magic Resistance.*** The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. > >***Magic Weapons.*** The golem's weapon attacks are magical. > >### Actions >***Multiattack.*** The golem makes two slam attacks. > >***Slam.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 19 (3d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage. > >***Impact (Recharge 5-6).*** The golem slams the ground, releasing a wave of destructive energy.

## Moon-Touched Creatures In the presence of powerful lunar or fey magic, a creature's mind can sometimes become addled, and afflicted with the moon touch. Moon-touched creatures appear outwardly unchanged, with the exception of white fogged-over eyes, which glow when they are in pain. These creatures lose all sense of self preservation, and fight mindlessly to the death. ### Moon-Touched Creature Template A beast, humanoid, or monstrosity can become a moon-touched creature. When a creature becomes moon-touched, it retains all its statistics except as noted below. ***Moon-Touched.*** While the creature has less than half of its maximum hit points remaining, it can make a single weapon attack as a bonus action. ***Mindless.*** The creature's Intelligence score becomes 1 and it loses the ability to understand any languages. ***Increased Hit Points.*** The creature gains an additional hit die, and its maximum hit points are increased to reflect this. > ##### The Moon-Touch Affliction > Wanderers and adventurers may find themselves afflicted with the mindless madness of the moon-touch, should they stray too far into the land of fey magics without adequate protection. > > When traversing such lands, a DM can call for a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, every hour the players traverse the land. On three failed saves, the DM can prescribe this affliction upon a player. The effect can be removed by a *remove curse* spell. \columnbreak

\pagebreakNum ## Nebula Dragon Formed from clouds of cosmic dust, nebula dragon distinguish themselves from true dragons through their amorphous form. Though they bear no draconic blood, nebula dragons are formed through the thoughts of a dragon, thus inheriting the cunning and greed of the true dragons. ***Diet of Dust.*** Unlike their fleshy kin, nebula dragons grow and subsist entirely off a diet of dust and debris. Due to their diet, they age much slower than their true dragon counterparts, only reaching maturity after centuries. A nebula dragon's physique allows it to combine and construct dust particles within its body into exotic and heavy metals. Nebula dragon produce these metals as a byproduct of their diet, jettisoning the metals they are unable to use for fusion. ***Created from Chaos.*** Formed from clumps of cosmic dust, nebula dragons are born of chaos. Their personalities are likewise chaotically inclined, knowing neither good nor evil. Due in part to their isolation from other living creatures, nebula dragon are extremely self-centered, having no concept of compassion, sympathy, or empathy. | Category | Size | Age Range | |:---------|:-----|:----------| | Wyrmling | Medium | 100 years or less | Young | Large | 101—500 years | Adult | Huge | 501—2000 years | Ancient | Gargantuan | 2001 years or more > ##### Variant: Nebula Dragons as Innate Spellcasters > Nebula dragons are composed of innately magical cosmic energies. Using this variant, they can master a few spells as they age. > > A young or older dragon can innately cast a number of spells equal to its Charisma modifier. Each spell can be cast once per day, requiring no material components, and the spell's level can be no higher than one-third the dragon's challenge rating (rounded down). The dragon's bonus to hit with spell attacks is equal to its proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier. The dragon's spell save DC equals 8 + its proficiency bonus + its Charisma modifier. > > > > > > ##### Variant: Bloodied Breath > This variant allows the dragon to turn the tide of battle when it becomes severely wounded, adding danger to the encounter. If the DM desires, the nebula dragon can gain the following feature: > > ***Bloodied Breath.*** When the dragon drops under half its maximum hit points it immediately recharges and uses its Breath Weapon. If the triggering creature is within range the dragon will center the attack on that creature. \columnbreak ### A Nebula Dragon's Lair Though nebula dragon usually inhabit the emptiness of space, they sometimes form lairs upon asteroids or moons. The lair is glows faintly with the dragon's own stardust, and is littered with chunks of various metals produced by the dragon's internal fusion. Space whales shy far from these lairs, for fear of the dragon's wrath, but this in turn creates a haven for space squids, which feed off of the dragon's scattered stardust, safe from the space whales' hungry jaws. #### Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row: - Pillars of light, 5 feet in diameter and 60 feet long, shoot forth from the walls of the dragon's lair within 120 feet of the dragon. Any creature caught in a pillar must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 11 (2d10) radiant damage on a failed save and is blinded until the end of its next turn on a failed save, or half as much damage and is not blinded on a successful one. - A cloud of glowing stardust spreads from a point the dragon chooses within 60 feet of it, filling a 15-foot radius sphere until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. When the cloud appears, each creature in it must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10 (3d6) fire damage and begins glowing. Any attack roll against a glowing creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and does not glow. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. - Gravity intensifies around a point the dragon chooses within 120 feet of it, filling a 20-foot radius, 40-foot high cylinder until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. A creature within the area must make a Strength saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and being knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much damage and not being knocked prone on a successful one. Additionally, the area is considered difficult terrain for all creatures aside from the dragon. #### Regional Effects The space near a legendary nebula dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Meteor showers rain across the sky every 1d6 days. These can be seen from up to 10,000,000 miles away. - New stars appear in the sky, some visible even during the day. These can be seen from up to 10,000,000 miles away. - The tides of planets within a 1,000,000 mile radius rise and fall erratically. If the dragon dies, the effects fade over 1d100 days.

\pagebreakNum \columnbreak ## Space Beasts High in the sky, miles above the atmosphere, a number of creatures have developed specialized traits that allow them to survive in otherwise inhospitable environments. ### Dust and Debris Without typical sources of sustenance, some space creatures have developed a peculiar diet. Chief among these is the space squid, which manages to subsist on a diet of space dust, supplemented with space jellyfish. It generates energy through a combined process of fission and fusion, breaking apart the dust and reforming it in order to create energy. In a pinch, it can expel its meal as a cloud of hot plasma, allowing it to scorch predators and escape from harm. ___ >## Space Squid >*Large beast, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 11 >- **Hit Points** 102 (12d10 + 36) >- **Speed** 10 ft., fly 60 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|19 (+4)|13 (+1)|17 (+3)|4 (–3)|10 (+0)|4 (–3)| >___ >- **Skills** Perception +2, Stealth +3 >- **Condition Immunities** deafened >- **Senses** blindsight 60 ft., passive Perception 12 >- **Languages** — >- **Challenge** 3 (700 XP) >___ >***Spacefaring.*** The squid doesn't need to breathe. > >### Actions >***Multiattack.*** The squid makes two attacks, only one of which can be a beak attack. > >***Tentacles.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

The area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, although a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) can disperse the cloud. When the cloud appears, each creature in it must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 13 (3d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. After releasing the cloud, the squid can use the Dash action as a bonus action.

\pagebreakNum ### Cosmic Hunters Another species of ecological significance in space is the gargantuan space whale, the primary predator of the space squids. Unlike the squid, space whales do not have a method of converting space dust into energy, and thus resort to hunting space squids and other rare cosmic creatures for food. ***Astrambergris.*** This diet of space squids results in a build-up of the squids' indigestible beaks within the space whales' intestinal tracts. Over the course of many years, these beaks merge with chemicals within the whale's innards, forming into a lump of stony substance called *astrambergris*. This substance, produced solely from the guts of the rare space whales, is mysterious and extraordinarily valuable. It is touted to have uses in powerful elixirs and potions, and is highly sought after by alchemists and magicians alike. ___ >## Space Whale >*Gargantuan beast, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 15 (natural armor) >- **Hit Points** 232 (15d20 + 75) >- **Speed** 0 ft., fly 60 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|23 (+6)|10 (+0)|21 (+5)|3 (–4)|12 (+1)|7 (–2)| >___ >- **Skills** Perception +5 >- **Condition Immunities** deafened >- **Senses** blindsight 120 ft., passive Perception 15 >- **Languages** — >- **Challenge** 9 (5000 XP) >___ >***Spacefaring.*** The whale doesn't need to breathe. > >***Keen Sight.*** The whale has advantage on Wisdom (perception) checks that rely on sight. > >### Actions >***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 33 (6d8 + 6) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the whale. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the whale, and it takes 21 (6d6) fire damage at the start of each of the whale's turns. >If the whale takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the whale must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the whale. If the whale dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.

\pagebreakNum ### Deep Space Drifters Floating high above the atmosphere, tiny space jellyfish flutter about in the dark, casting their dim light like tiny stars. They, like the space squid, gather and consume space dust for energy. An unfortunate side effect of their diet is the propensity to glow, making them easily visible targets for hungering space squids. When a space jellyfish reaches maturity, it attaches itself to a large chunk of debris and becomes a space polyp. Using the energy gathered from space dust, it slowly produces more space jellyfish. \columnbreak ___ >## Space Jellyfish >*Tiny beast, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 11 >- **Hit Points** 1 (1d4 – 1) >- **Speed** 0 ft., fly 20 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|1 (–5)|12 (+1)|8 (–1)|1 (–5)|10 (+0)|2 (–4)| >___ >- **Condition Immunities** blinded, deafened, frightened >- **Senses** passive Perception 10 >- **Languages** — >- **Challenge** 0 (0 XP) >___ >***Spacefaring.*** The jellyfish doesn't need to breathe. > >***Illumination.*** The jellyfish sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius. > ___ > >## Space Polyp >*Small beast, unaligned* >___ >- **Armor Class** 5 >- **Hit Points** 3 (1d6 + 0) >- **Speed** 0 ft., fly 20 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|3 (–4)|1 (–5)|10 (+0)|1 (–5)|10 (+0)|2 (–4)| >___ >- **Condition Immunities** blinded, deafened, frightened >- **Senses** blindsight 30 ft.

Denizens of space shudder when the stars flicker, for fear of its arrival. Constantly wandering from meal to meal, a star devourer has no lair. ***Ancient Abomination.*** No one knows how the star devourer came to be, and it is unknown whether it is a singular entity or merely a member of a terrifying species. It has been witnessed throughout the ages as a harbinger of darkness, crushing distant stars in a path of destruction across the sky.

After the explosion, the star devourer's body becomes a dense spherical black hole, 5 feet in diameter. Each creature within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be pull into the black hole and take 70 (20d6) bludgeoning damage. ___ >### Actions >***Multiattack.*** The star devourer can use its Frightful Presence.

\pagebreakNum ### Death of a Star As star elementals go through their lives, they gather space dust and fuse it inside their body, providing energy in the form of heat and pressure. When the fuel inside a star elemental begins to run out, the pressure inside the elemental wanes, and the gravitational forces of its accrued stardust eventually collapse in on itself. This process forms an extraordinarily dense point of matter, a black hole elemental. Black hole elementals continue as star elementals do, consuming matter to subsist. ***Singularity.*** At the core of a black hole elemental lies a gravitational singularity, a region of nearly infinite density where the laws of space and time are corrupted. Forming around the core, a vaguely humanoid event horizon leeches away any light shined upon the elemental, giving it a darker-than-black appearance. Anything that passes this threshold is crushed by the black hole elemental's incredible gravitational field. ___ >## Black Hole Elemental >*Large elemental, neutral* >___ >- **Armor Class** 15 (natural armor) >- **Hit Points** 126 (12d10 + 60) >- **Speed** 30 ft., fly 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|20 (+5)|11 (+0)|20 (+5)|5 (–3)|10 (+0)|5 (–3)| >___ >- **Damage Resistances** bludgeoning, piercing, slashing from nonmagical attacks >- **Damage Immunities** poison, radiant >- **Condition Immunities** exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, unconscious >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10 >- **Languages** Celestial, Terran >- **Challenge** 5 (1800 XP) >___ >***Immeasurable Density.*** The elemental is composed of extremely densely packed matter, forming a crushing field around it.

Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 ft. out of the hooded nebula's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the hooded nebula's space. > >***Gleam (Recharge 4-6).*** The hooded nebula fans open its hood, releasing a blast of light in a 30-foot cone.

On a success, a target takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

\pagebreakNum ### Astrid Spacefaring genies that live among the stars, the astrid are tall and slender, with pale skin that glows softly of starlight. Crowned with shining gold and silken ribbon, they fly through the sky in a graceful cosmic dance, leaving a trail of stardust behind them as they pass. ***Capricious Twinkle.*** Among the stars, the astrid rarely receive visitors. As such, their tendencies as hosts are rather peculiar. Bearing little concept of wealth, morality, and ownership, an astrid may presume that artifacts and objects brought before it by its visitors are intended as gifts, and will not hesitate to take hold of anything that catches its eye. ***Hunter of Stars.*** The denizens of the stars alongside the astrids know better than to trifle with the pale genies. Powerful archers wielding bows of light, with the ability to blink across the sky in chase, the astrid are formidable hunters. Astrid rarely engage with the other genies, preferring the isolation of space. ***Shine Bright.*** Playful and luminescent, astrids leap and bound across the night sky, performing a cosmic dance to any stargazers below. From a distance, the dancing lights pose a spectacular show. For those up close, however, the bright lights and stray arrows of the astrid's dance can pose hazardous. > ##### Variant: Genie Powers > Genies have a variety of magical capabilities, including spells. A few have even greater powers that allow them to alter their appearance or the nature of reality. > > ***Disguises.*** Some genies can veil themselves in illusion to pass as other similarly shaped creatures. Such genies can innately cast the *disguise self* spell at will, often with a longer duration than is normal for that spell. Mightier genies can cast the *true polymorph* spell one to three times per day, possibly with a longer duration than normal. Such genies can change only their own shape, but a rare few can use the spell on other creatures and objects as well. > > ***Wishes.*** The genie power to grant wishes is legendary among mortals. Only the most potent genies, such as those among the nobility, can do so. A particular genie that has this power can grant one to three wishes to a creature that isn't a genie. Once a genie has granted its limit of wishes, it can't grant wishes again for some amount of time (usually 1 year). and cosmic law dictates that the same genie can expend its limit of wishes on a specific creature only once in that creature's existence. > > To be granted a wish, a creature within 60 feet of the genie states a desired effect to it. The genie can then cast the wish spell on the creature's behalf to bring about the effect. Depending on the genie's nature, the genie might try to pervert the intent of the wish by exploiting the wish's poor wording. The perversion of the wording is usually crafted to be to the genie's benefit. \columnbreak ___ >## Astrid >*Large elemental, lawful neutral* >___ >- **Armor Class** 17 (natural armor) >- **Hit Points** 200 (16d10 + 112) >- **Speed** 40 ft., fly 60 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|12 (+1)|22 (+6)|24 (+7)|16 (+3)|16 (+3)|20 (+5)| >___ >- **Saving Throws** Int +7, Wis +7, Cha +9 >- **Damage Immunities** radiant >- **Senses** darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 13 >- **Languages** Celestial, Ignan >- **Challenge** 11 (7200 XP) >___ >***Elemental Demise.*** If the astrid dies, its body disintegrates in a burst of light, leaving behind only equipment the astrid was wearing or carrying. > >***Spacefaring.*** The astrid doesn't need to breathe. > >***Innate Spellcasting.*** The astrid's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks).

Each creature within 30 feet of the astrid when it teleports must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of the astrid's next turn.

\pagebreakNum ### Mephits Mephits are imp-like creatures that form as elemental planes mix. When energy from the four Elemental Planes comes into contact with the vast expanses of space, the resultant mixture can produce similar creatures. Such mephits propagate outward from the points where an Elemental Plane meets the void of space, allowing them to dwell in both realms. Four different kinds of these space mephits exist: asteroid mephits created from the Elemental Plane of Earth, lunar mephits influenced by the Elemental Plane of Water, nebula mephits imbued with the energy of the Elemental Plane of Air, and solar mephits forged from the heat of the Elemental Plane of Fire. ___ >## Asteroid Mephit >*Small elemental, neutral evil* >___ >- **Armor Class** 11 >- **Hit Points** 27 (6d6 + 6) >- **Speed** 30 ft., fly 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|8 (–1)|12 (+1)|12 (+1)|7 (–2)|10 (+0)|9 (–1)| >___ >- **Skills** Stealth +3 >- **Damage Immunities** poison >- **Condition Immunities** poisoned >- **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10 >- **Languages** Celestial, Terran >- **Challenge** 1/4 (50 XP) >___ >***Death Burst.*** When the mephit dies, it explodes in a burst of heat and light.
