The Star Touched

A man sits in a secluded cavern, unknowable and cutting words slither from his mouth as he draws strange symbols, a strange book laid out on an alter before him, all the while dark things come ever closer.

A woman sits alone in a study, pouring over strange grimoires as dark tendrils reach into her mind and place acidic words into it.

A half-elf walks into town, serenity exudes from him as onlookers stare at the stranger, a rapier sheathed before him as his very presence a sense of calm to descend upon the town.

A half-orc writhes in a decrepit cell, bonds hold him securely place, yet there are no guards, but merely hanging bodies as he mutters pure madness itself. A lone wood elf stands atop an ancient fortress, looking out with strangely gleaming eyes and sighing as she picks up her strange weapons, the sounds of dark things in the distance, she knew it would be a long night.

A village burns, the villager mutilated along with aberrations, the innocent and insane alike dead, as a lone dwarf walks away from the devastation, blood and ash stains his weapons and armor. What was once a humanoid stands before a crowd in a desecrated church as it preaches in voices unknowable, and words unbearable.

A high elf is cornered by a group of bounty hunters, but he does not falter, for he knew this would happen, and then pulls out a preserved heart before stabbing it with a ceremonial dagger, and suddenly the very air rips as aberrations begin coming through.

A gnome works in a laboratory filled with strange contraptions and mutilated bodies, as well as strange, unholy combinations of flesh and metal.

A Tiefling looks onto the void, just as it looks onto him, and he knows that he can’t let it through.

A dark elf is captured and then tortured for days on end, however, before her death, she smiles, and her tormentors look on in horror as her body shifts into a monstrous abomination.

A halfling dances into town, followed by horrific manifestations, while leaving horrid carvings and paintings in her wake, the mad dance to the tune of her song.

A child sits in the dark, her flesh shifts ever so slightly; claws, fangs, and horns grow, just as her shadow writhes and grabs things that get too close, her eyes not quite that of a normal mortal.

The star touched are a diverse group of individuals, with them often gaining many strange abilities form their origins. At some point in time, all of the star touched came into contact with a great old one in some way. This contact was far deeper than that of warlocks who have a great old one as a patron, as some part of them was existing in the same place as it was at the time of contact, be it mind, body, or soul. As a result, many are well and truly insane, or at the very least affected by some form of minor insanity. These are individuals are shunned, and often for good reason. There are a few who have decided, and have the fortitude, to strike out against the very things they are now a part of, but they are few and far between, and are treated no better than those of similar afflictions.

Child of madness

One doesn’t experience being one with something whose knowledge of its existence can drive weaker minds into irreparable insanity without suffering severely in the mind in some way. There is no escaping the grasp of madness after such an event. As a consequence, any character of this class is insane in some way, the extremity of the symptoms in up to the player/DM.

Rejected, shunned, hated, hunted

Individuals who have suffered in this manner are not the most accepted individuals in the world. Fear, revulsion and outright hostility is common for the Star Touched. Due to this, many are isolationist, while others hide their true natures, there are only a few who openly display themselves in full when surrounded by commonfolk. Regardless, they are never quite welcome, and may even be actively hunted by Clerics and Paladins eager to rid the world of their blight.

Creating a Star touched

The absolutely most important part of playing a Star touched character is figuring out how their contact has affected them. What were they before their contact, what did they do? Were they an attempted warlock that was a little too successful, or a cleric that stumbled upon something they shouldn’t have. Where they a doctor, a scientist, a mercenary, or perhaps just a simple citizen or even a farmer? Their past is just as important as what they are now, as it allows one to have a base to play off of.

Black Speech

At 1st level, once per every short rest, as an action, you target one creature who is 10ft. of you, and can hear you, that creature takes 1d4 points of psychic damage. Alternatively, you can decide to instead have every creature with 20ft. of you and who can hear you take 1d4 points of damage. Creatures that are deaf are immune to this ability.

At 6th level this becomes the Enhanced Black Speech feature. You gain an additional usage of your Black speech Feature per short rest, as well as an additional d4. At 10th level, you gain one additional usage per short rest, and your d4s become d6s, and you may use this feature as your reaction instead of your action. At 18th level your d6s become d8s, and you gain a third d8, the range increases to 30ft., you may use it as your reaction or bonus action instead of using your action.

You also become able to read, write, and speak Undercommon and Deepspeech at first level

Unnatural casting

At 1st level you can cast Prestidigitation and Thaumaturgy cantrips at will. When doing so, you choose to use either Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom. Depending on the modifier used, different additional effects happen.

Wisdom v. Charisma: If turned the creature must move as far away from you as possible, up to its movement speed, while also being able to dash, or simply use the dodge action if there’s nowhere to move. If frightened, the creature is unable to attack or move in your direction for one minute. Regardless, the creature can’t take reactions.

Intelligence v. Wisdom: If turned, the creature moves in any direction using any means available to it. It cannot willingly move into 30ft of your position for 1 minute. If frightened, the creature is unable to move or take actions for 2 of its turns. Regardless, any creature affected cannot attack you in any way during the turn it is affected by this feature.

Charisma v. Intelligence: If turned, the creature must use any and all means available to it to move away from you, for 1 round. If frightened, the creature randomly moves away from you in any direction regardless of terrain or dangers. Regardless, if the saving throw was a critical failure, the creature will attack any other creature in its immediate path.

You may only use this feature once per long rest, you may not decide what creatures are affected by this feature, and any creature affected by this feature gains immunity to it until your second long rest after the use of this feature. Additionally, if attempting to frighten a creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. Additionally, if a Cleric or Paladin were to use one of their turn features, you become a valid target for it, and must make a Wisdom save to avoid being turned. Upon a failure, you are turned and affected by the listed effects of being under the condition. You are considered vulnerable to being turned. You may choose which saving throw v. skill check option to use.

Telepathy

Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

At 7th level this becomes the Enhanced Telepathy feature. You gain the ability to strengthen your telepathic powers, allowing you to use an action to allow the creature you’re communicating with to respond. At 14th level, you can use your Black Speech feature in conjunction with this one-overcoming the immunity of deaf creatures-, as well as being able to set up a link with up to 3 seperate creatures, which allows you to communicate, or use your Black Speech Feature, with/on them at the same time. Additionally, you no longer have to use an action to allow a creature you are communicating with to respond, as well as allowing a creature that does not understand a language to understand you.

Choose Occultist, Mad speaker, Cosmic scholar, Serene Wanderer, Insane Maker, Guardian of the Gate,Black Summoner, Good Hunter, Fanatical Crusader, Rapturous Prophet,Twisted Artisan, Aberrant of Flesh, or Duel Warped, all detailed at the end of the description.Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level

Additionally, you may attempt to, as an action, infect others with your madness temporarily. If you decide to do so, the creature must make a saving throw contested by a skill check. If the creature fails, it is afflicted with the same type of insanity as you are until your next long/short rest, as well as the additional affects below. If it succeeds, nothing happens and the creature gains advantage on all attacks against you and becomes hostile if it is not already.

Wisdom v. Charisma: The creature’s madness causes it to act erratically, with it randomly taking actions with no regard for strategy, including attacking allies or running away. It may also take one action outside of its turn on a 50-50% chance. The DM has full discretion of the creature's actions.

Intelligence v. Wisdom: The creature’s intelligence score drops to ½ of what it currently is, rounded up. Additionally, due to its madness, it is temporarily unable to comprehend any language in speech or writing for 1 minute.

Charisma v. Intelligence: The creature is considered charmed for 1 of your turns, where it will follow any command given to it, including attacking friendly allies or creatures considered friendly to it, dropping whatever it is holding, or self-harm. However, after the end of the 1 turn it has an open pathway to your mind, allowing it to have advantage against being attacked, frightened, charmed, persuaded, or deceived by you.

You are completely unaffected by illusions.

Eldritch Emergences

All of the Star touched eventually reach a point where their powers mutate suddenly, or gain control over the chaotic energies infecting thier bodies. This point is reached at 3rd, where the Star Touched's choices manifest in a chosen emrgence.

The Occultist

ccultists are the oldest of the Star touched. Not necessarily in age, but rather for how long they have existed. They are incredibly similar to both Clerics and Warlocks, so much so that they could be considered a combination of the two. They worship the Great Old Ones, yet have bound themselves to the one they have made contact with, causing a strange gift of willing gained magic. They are truly connected to the Great Old Ones, as opposed to simply using their knowledge to siphon power off of their “gods”.

As occultists have a connection that is far deeper than that of a pact, they have gained abilities greater than that of a pact, but are not truly cared for despite their worship. They are often not the most lawful or stable of individuals, nor are they most moral. It is next to impossible to find a truly heroic occultist, as most are simply too far gone for them to even comprehend being so. At best, they will be completely self-centered, but not actively malicious, though even these case are rare. After all, worshipping beings alternatively called the “Elder evils” leaves little to ponder about.

Eldritch Blasphemies

Your deep bond to the Great Old Ones has given you a unique ability to use spells.

Dark Grimoire

You have a book constructed from various materials that were readily available, or painstakingly sought after. Any spells that you have prepared are written within its pages, and it serves as the bearer of all of your secrets from your insights and research into your aberrant powers. If a creature other than you were to read its pages, they would immediately become insane, but would gain one of the spells you have prepared and can cast it in the same ways you can. It also serves to contain any rituals you may wish to have readily available.

If you ever lose your Grimoire, you spend 2 hours constructing a new amidst a dangerous ritual while surrounded by a magic circle inscribed using a sentient humanoids blood. You must have some kind of material to serve as its pages, whether that be paper, skin, or cloth, something to use as its cover- wood, leather, bone-, and something to use as its inks, be it actual ink, or blood. Finally, after the completion of your new Grimoire, you must take 2d6 points of psychic damage, and temporarily suffer from an additional insanity effect, rolled for randomly. This lasts until your next long rest, however, your spells have all effects doubled during this period as well, and you remove 1d4 when casting without a spell slot, but you also do not gain any advantages of resting from the period of time spent constructing the Grimoire. You start off with a Grimoire when you choose the Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, representing how you have already taken the measures necessary for such a time.

Spells Known

Like any ofthe faithful, you know all of the spells on the Occultist spell list, however, you have the ability to learn spells outside of your spell list. To do so, you must first encounter the spell, and then spend at least an hour studying the spell before copying it down into your Grimoire. Alternatively, if you find a Wizard’s spell book, or a Warlock's Book of Shadows, you may copy the spells written within them inside of your Grimoir, but you must spend two hours and spend 1000gp for the required rare inks and materials to do so. Alternatively, you may spend only a half hour if you are tutored by an individual who already knows the spell. Finally, depending on what class the spell you learned from was, you must use that class’s spell casting modifier: Charisma for bard, sorcerer, or warlock; Wisdom for cleric or druid: or Intelligence for wizard.

The spells still count as Eldritch Blasphemies for you, and the extra effects each modifier gives still apply.

Spell casting ability

Unlike other classes, you decide to freely switch between using Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for your spellcasting modifier. The power of your spells come from your connection to the Great Old Ones, as opposed to your knowledge which comes from your devotion to them. You choose any of the ability modifiers when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. Depending on the modifier used for when casting a spell, different effects are added to the spell.

Intelligence: The spell has its effects doubled, or if it is an illusion, if someone tries to perceive through it, they must make a Charisma saving throw. They take a1d8 psychic damage on a failure and half that on a success. If you cast using your Intelligence modifier without using a spell slot, you take 1d8 psychic damage instead of 1d4

Wisdom: The spell may deal a different damage type if offensive, or if it is an illusion, its effects last for double the amount of time they normally would.

Charisma: You may cast two spells instead of one so long as both take 1 action, or if it is an illusion, if a creature interacts with it, they must make a Wisdom saving throw or suffer from being frightened for 1 minute. If you cast without using a spell slot using your charisma modifier, you take 1d6 psychic for every additional spell you cast along with the normal 1d4 for the first spell.

Ritual casting

You can cast an occultist spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spell casting focus

The Dark Grimoire serves as your focus for your spells.

Chaotic casting

Starting when you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast an occultist spell of 1st level or higher, the DM can have you roll a d20. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect. Alternately, you may use percentile die where a d6 is used, and if you roll a 1 or 6, you have a Wild Magic Surge.

Cursed sight

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain these abilities

• You can peer through a shapeshifter’s disguise and tell whether or not they are in their true form, but you cannot see their true form.
• You are now able to tell if there is an illusion active, but you may not be able to peer through it.
• You may decide to grant yourself advantage in insight(wis.) once every long rest.
• You may decide to be able to ignore half and partial cover, when casting a spell once every long rest

Blightful Presence

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain the ability to sap the land of life. Once per day, during a short or long rest, you may go through a dark ritual that creates a death spot around you. All plant life within 10ft. around you dies, you may roll a d10, you gain that many temporary hit points. Alternatively, you may enter into the dreams of a random humanoid around you or a humanoid known to you, and if you so wish you may drain their mental fortitude, granting you one additional temporary spell slot. However, doing this severely harms the humanoid, causing them to take 1d10 psychic damage. The result is by a percentile dice roll. Additioanly, you may cut yourself to give 1d poision damage to your spells. You take 1d4 slashing damage.

Eldritch Revelations

At 6th level you may take 3 Invocations from the Eldritch Invocation list from the warlock class. You change which invocations you have every long rest.

Weave Rending

Starting at 6th level, you can attempt to cast a spell you don’t have prepared. When you use this ability, you use your action and choose one of the following options:

• Roll on the Reckless Casting table for cantrips and cast the resulting spell as part of this action.
• Expend a spell slot and roll twice on the Reckless Casting table for its level, or the 5th-level table if the slot is 6th level or higher. Pick which of the two results you want to use and cast the resulting spell as part of this action.

If the spell rolled isn’t an occultist spell, it nonetheless counts as an occultist spell for you.

Arcane awakening

By 12th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from the unfathomable. Choose two spells from any class, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Occultist table, or a cantrip.

The chosen spells count as an occultist spells for you.

You may choose an additional two at 16th level.

Blood Bound Spells

At 12th level you may choose two 4th level spells from the occultist list, those spells are always considered prepared and do not count against the number of spells prepared, you may also cast them once per long rest without using a spell slot and without rolling for any damage.

You may choose 1 6th level spell for this feature at 16th level, and 1 9th level spell at 20th level.

Feast for the Old Gods

Once per day you may bring an avatar of the Great Old Ones into your plane of existence via a ritual, The ritual 12 hours of uninterrupted chanting within a magical circle drawn in the blood of a freshly killed sentient humanoid, desecrated relics worth 25,000,000 gp, a dried octopus, the eyes of a fish, a pile of fine leather worth 5,000 gp, a vial of your blood and the death of either a trusted friend or a young innocent. The Ritual consumes the given materials, with the sacrifice having its soul consumed by the Avatar. The Avatar uses the same state block as a Kraken but with the following changes:

• Its creature type changes to Gargantuan Aberration
• It is able to use Eldritch Blasphemies and can innately cast any Illusion on the occultist spell list, Dissonant Whispers, Arms of Hadar, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, Crown of Madness, Hunger of Hadar, and Psychic Scream. It may use its Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier as its casting modifier and shares the same extra effects that you get when using each one, this also replaces the Kraken’s innate casting feature
• It has a flying speed equal to its swimming speed
• It has an aura that reduces any bright light in a 30-foot radius around it to dim light. Creatures within 10 feet of it must each succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + its proficiency bonus +its Charisma modifier) or become frightened of it until the end of your next turn. Whenever an enemy that is frightened by it starts its turn in the aura, it takes 4d10 psychic damage.

The Avatar is considered neutral to you, and unfriendly to your allies, but it will avoid attacking you-it may even attempt to protect you to prolong it’s stay- if possible unless sufficiently provoked, nor will it actively attack any allies of yours unless it is threatened, or feels threatened in any way. It is actively hostile towards anything else. Its actions are completely controlled by the DM as you have absolutely no control over it. Anything killed by the Avatar has its soul consumed and cannot be revived by anything sort of a Wish. If the ritual is interrupted, you lose half of your hit points and take an additional 2d8 psychic psychic damage. The Avatar stays on your plane of existence for 1 hour.

The Mad Speaker

Pitiful beings, those who speak madness itself are invariably mad themselves. There is no hope for light in these soulless husks. They seemingly have only one purpose in life, and that is to spread the madness within themselves to others. There is no hope for these individuals, it would be a mercy to put them down.

Mad Speakers are in no way heroic in any sense. The best one could hope for when dealing with one is that they follow some kind of semblance of a code. However, this is incredibly rare, and most are firmly chaotic evil. Their insanity is actively malicious, and their views on camaraderie are nonsensical at best. More like rabid dogs than actual, thinking, humanoids, they are surprisingly hard to put down.

Untold Depths of Madness

When you choose this Eldritch emergence at 3rd level you must pick an 2 additional symptom of insanity found within the DM’s guide book.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you become proficient in unarmed attacks. Additionally, you may make one unarmed attack as a bonus action whenever you take the attack action. Also, you may decide to use your nails instead of your fist for 1d4 slashing damage, or your teeth for 1d4 piercing damage.

An unknowable mind

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, the damage to your mind is so great it is truly a wonder as to why you are not dead. If a creature were to attempt to enter your thoughts unwillingly it would suffer 1d4 psychic damage, though it may still succesfully enter it. Additionally, you have resistance to being charmed and you can not be forced to dream, but you can still be forced to sleep.

Madness itself

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, as an action, once per short or long rest you may go on a tirade of utter insanity. During which you may decide to do one of three options

• You attempt to stir every creature within 10ft of you into a brief moment of insanity, each creature in range who can hear must make a saving throw contested by a skill check:

Wisdom v. Charisma: Any creature that fails its saving throw is considered charmed by you until the end of the next turn, upon which you may order any charmed creature to do any one thing to the best of its ability. Afterwords, it is considered hostile toward you.

Forked tongue

At 6th level, you learn to infuse innocent-seeming words with an insidious magic that can inspire terror.

If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to seed paranoia and fear into its mind. At the end of the conversation, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you or another creature of your choice. The target is frightened in this way for 1 hour, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged.

If the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it, and you take 2d6 psychic damage.

The target must be able to understand you to be able to be affected by this feature.

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

Sharp as a blade

Also at 6th level, you learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it. You may only use this feature three times per long rest.

Hallucinatory words

At 12th level, you become able to cast phantasmal terror innately once per long rest without using material components.

Pain Fueled Madness

At 12th level, once per long rest, you may go through a trial of extreme self mutilation. You tear your flesh from youself and delve deeper into the maelstrom of your mind than any should go. You take 2d10 points of slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage, as well as 1d6 of psychic damage. This damage cannot be mitigated in any way. Afterwards, you regain all of your uses on all of your Eldritch Emergence features.

Dissociation of Mind and Body

At 16th level you can dissociate yourself from your body, causing you to lose your fear of harm and death. On your turn, you can dissociate yourself as a bonus action.

While dissociated, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing medium or heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Constitution saving throws
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage
• You cannot be incapacitated except by magical means or by falling to 0 hit points
• If you were to drop to 0 hit points due to an attack or spell, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by a critical hit.
• You gain a +20 to your movement speed

Insane Mutterings

At 16th level you can now whisper your insanity into the very minds of those unfortunate enough to cross your path. Deaf creatures are no longer considered immune to your features, and creatures no longer have to understand you to be affected by them.

The Death Chant of the Black Storm

At 20th Level, once per day, you may enter into the death chaint. While in the death chaint, all living things within 60ft have all of their bodily fluids violently torn out. Only creatures of CR 5 or higher, as well as level 3 or higher are immune to immediate death, but take 2d10 force damage for every turn that they are in range of the death chant’s area of effect. The death chant lasts for 1 hour, and if you are interrupted, eather by being incapacitated, being grappled, or succesfully being hit by a spell or attack, the death chant will collaspe inward onto you, forcing its affects on you and killing you outright and instantly.

The Cosmic Scholar

Individuals that have choosen a very different path when compared to most others, they have taken to their experience in an odd way. Driven to learn all they can about the beings they had come into contact with, they fail to see the possibility of delving deeper into insanity.

Cosmic Scholars are not necessarily evil, but are rather obsessed with finding out how such beings like the Great Old Ones could exist, and why they have not become the rulers of everything yet. Their madness compels them to search for forbidden pieces of information in any area, to the point that they don’t seem to actually care what happens to them in the search for such knowledge. Their reasons for this varies as well, perhaps they are trying to keep the Elder Evils out of the material plane, perhaps they are trying to ascend into being a new being, learn the secrets of the universe, gain control every the spawn of the beings, or maybe they are simple being manipulated into seeking out these secrets without their knowledge, regardless of the cost.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you gain proficiency in an Artisan’s Tools of your choice and Investigation, Insight, or Persuasion.

Reach of the stars

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to call forth spectral tentacles that grab at your foes. As an action, pick a point you can see within 60 feet of you. A horde of grasping tendrils appears at that point. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of that point must make a Strength saving throw. Creatures that fail their saving throws are grappled for 1 minute or until you use this ability again. The spectral tentacle's Strength (Athletics) bonus is 2 + your proficiency bonus and its reach is 10 feet. You may only use this feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum of once ) every short rest.

Lashing of the stars

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes. As a bonus action, you create a 10-foot-long tentacle that strikes out at a point you can see within 10 feet of you. When you create the tentacle, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 bludgeoning or psychic damage (your choice when it takes the damage). When you reach 12th level in this class, the damage dealt by the tentacle increases to 2d8. You may use this feature a number of times equal to Charisma modifier (minimum of once) every short rest.

Hold of the stars

At 6th level you gain the ability to start manipulating the battlefield to your and your companions advantage. You summon a spectral tendril to grab one creature that is at a maximum of one size larger than you, is within your line of sight, and is at a maximum of 20ft. from you. It must make either a dexterity (Acrobatics) save, or a strength (Athletics) save, whichever is higher. Upon a failure, the creature is moved 10ft. in any direction that you can see, after which it has its movement speed halved until the next turn. You may use this feature a number of times equal to ½ your level in this class (rounded down) every short rest.

Bloodletting

Also at 6th level, you can decide to roll 1d6, if you do, you take the rolled number in slashing damage. After words, you gain one additional usage of any feature in this Eldritch emergence. You may only use this feature once every long rest.

Wrath of the stars

At 12th level you may bring the anger of the stars in its entirety down upon your foes. A horde of spectral tentacles appear above any space you pick within 60ft. of you. This horde then batters every creature within 20ft. of them, dealing 2d8 bludgeoning and psychic damage. You may use this feature only once every long rest.

Welding of flesh and bone

Also at 12th level you gain the ability to heal others, at a potential cost. You gain a healing pool equal to your level in this class + 3. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature. up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 3 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of this feature, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. Additionally, everytime you heal a creature with this feature they must make a Wisdom save at advantage. On a failure, the creature takes 1d8 psychic damage that cannot be mitigated in any way.

Tearing of the fabric

At 16th level you have gained the ability to manipulate the battlefield in unprecedented ways. As an action you may choose one of the following for the following effects:

• You summon two spectral tentacles that appear in any space that you can see and is in 60ft. Above you. The tentacles have a reach of 10ft and attack any hostile creature that enters into its range and deals psychic and bludgeoning damage. It uses a d6 for damage and adds your Wisdom modifier to the hit. You may change the position of one tentacle as a bonus action, andWhen you or a creature you can see takes damage while within 10 feet of the tentacle, you can use your reaction to choose one of those creatures and reduce the damage to the chosen creature by half. After doing so, the tentacle vanishes. Otherwise, the tentacle last for 1 minute.
• You summon spectral tentacles that fill a 20-foot square of ground that you can see within 30ft. of you. For the duration, these tentacles turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.
• Inky pools of darkness, of varying sizes, with tiny, ebony, writhing tendrils, appear around and above you. In the center of these tendrils are yellowed, distorted eyes, each of which has 1 HP, and an Armor class of 10. So long as these eyes are present, you gain a +3 to your passive perception and cannot be flanked or taken by surprise. The eyes last for 1 minute, but they can be targeted for attacks. If all of the eyes are destroyed before 1 minute is up, you take 2d10 psychic damage. The amount of eyes spawned is equal to your Intelligence modifier.
• As an action, choose a point you can see within 60 feet of you. For 1 minute, a spectral maw manifests in a 10-foot radius centered on that point. The maw has a reach of 10ft., attacks any hostile creature that enters its range and uses your Charisma modifier to hit. Any creature that starts takes damage from the maw takes 3d6 psychic and piercing damage. As a bonus action, you may move the maw to a different position.

The amount of uses you have for this feature equals ⅓ of your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma modifier added together and rounded down (minimum of once). Additionally, you may have 3 of the feature’s option active at the same time. You regain all uses at the end of a long rest.

True Enlightenment

Once per day, at 20th level, you can gain true enlightenment over the material universe, and bend it to your will. Inky black tendrils reach behind you and slip into your skull, then a massive eye appears high in the sky. A 90ft. bubble spreads from the eye in all directions, including underground. While in the bubble no spells can be cast, and every creature takes 2d10 psychic damage for every turn they are in it, including you. Additionally the ground in the space of the bubble is considered difficult terrain for all creatures except you and you are healed 2d10 at the end of every round that you are in the bubble. You have all options of your Tearing the Fabric feature active while inside of the bubble. Finally, if you die inside of the bubbly, your soul is devoured by one of the Great Old Ones, preventing revival from anything short of a Wish.

The Serene Wanderer

An oddity when it comes to those who have had such an intimate contact with the Aberrant gods, Serene Wanderers have been strengthened by their experience. Their minds have gradually healed, unlike most others, and have even expanded outward with their psionic abilities.

Serene Wanderers are one of the few Star Touched that have the capacity to truly be good. Heroic wanderers are not that uncommon, and most indeed end up there simply due to their unique experiences and the process that allowed them to heal in the first place. As a consequence of this unique mind set, they are determined to heal as many others as possible, or put down those who are simply too far gone. However, there are a few cases of Serene Wanderers deciding to withdraw from the world, not caring what happens either way, and even fewer who believe that their healing proves that they are superior to all others, leading them down a path of neutrality, or villainy.

A healed mind

Through long, and arduous self-reflection, restraint, and maybe even companionship, your mind has been able to recover from the hardship that brought your powers to you. Starting at 3rd level, you are no longer considered insane, nor suffer from any symptoms of insanity.

Bonus proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd you gain proficiency in any weapon with the finesse property, medium armor, and your choice of History, Investigation, Medicine, Perception, Performance, or Persuasion. Alternatively, you learn one language of your choice. When using a weapon that has the finesse property, you may use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier, whichever is highest at any time, your choice if tied.

Enhanced Unnatural Casting

Your training in mind and body has increased your innate magical abilities. When you take this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level your innate casting table expands. You immediately learn mage hand with the following alterations;

• The hand is always invisible
• You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature
• You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature
• You can use any tools that you are proficient with (if any)

Additionally, at 3rd level you also gain Healing Word, Calm Emotions Detect Thoughts, Telekinesis and Rary's Telepathic Bond at 12th level, and finally Telepathy at 16th

Ki

Starting at 3rd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your Serene Wanderer level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Serene Wanderer table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing seven such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, Step of the Wind, One with the blade, Deft Deflection, Calculated Stance, and Strengthened spirit. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

• Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action, in which case you use a d4 when rolling for damage.
• Patient Defense: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
• Step of the Wind: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
• One with the blade: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 2 ki points to make an additional attack with your weapon.
• One with the blade: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 2 ki points to make an additional attack with your weapon.
• Calculated Stance: As an action you may spend 2 ki points to enter into a stance that allows you to make one attack against a creature in range that you can see with advantage
• Strengthened spirit: You can spend 3 ki points, then touch one friendly creature, that creature gains 5 temporary hit points, and if that creature were to be hit by a melee attack, the attacker gets dealt 1d6 radiant damage.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.

Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Fighting Style

At 6th level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Serenity die

• You can use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Serenity die. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Serenity die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Serenity die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Serenity die at a time.

Extra attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Dissociation of Mind and Body

At 16th level you can dissociate yourself from your body, causing you to lose your fear of harm and death. On your turn, you can dissociate yourself as a bonus action.

• You have advantage on Constitution saving throws
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage
• You cannot be incapacitated except by magical means or by falling to 0 hit points
• If you were to drop to 0 hit points due to an attack or spell, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by a critical hit.
• You gain a +20 to your movement speed

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while dissociated, nor are you able to use ki points or serenity die

Your dissociation lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you haven't used any of your Eldritch emergence features or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your dissociation on your turn as a bonus action.You may dissociate a total of 5 times before you may do so again. If you have dropped to 0 hit points while dissociated or leave your dissociation with half or below your total hit points, you gain 3 levels of exhaustion and your walking speed is halved.

• Soothed mind: As an action, you may spend 5 ki points to regain 1d4 to a maximum of 3 serenity die.
• ** Companion’s respite:** You can spend 6 ki points to have all friendly creatures within 10 ft. of you gain an extra action this turn.

State of emptiness

Once per day, at 20th, you may enter into a state of pure emptiness. You may disassociate yourself and be able to cast and concentrate on spells if you can you are able to, and you can use your ki points as well as your serenity dice while in a dissociated state. While you are using this Feature, and are dissociated, you gain the following abilities:

• Telekinetic Manipulation: If the target is a creature that is Medium or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be moved up to 30 feet directly away from you.
• Advanced Telepathy: You can perceive the content of any telepathic communication used within 60 feet of you, and you can't be surprised by creatures with any form of telepathy.

• Telepathic Hub: You can use your telepathy to initiate and maintain telepathic conversations with up to six creatures at a time. You can let those creatures telepathically hear each other while connected in this way.

Each of the listed options take one action to perform. This feature lasts for 1 hour.

The Insane Maker

Individuals who have been instilled with a desire to overcome their limitations as mortals due to their contact with the Great Old Ones, these Star Touched commit numerous atrocities for this goal. They consider even their awakened minds weak, and the cycle of life and death inherently flawed.

These individuals follow the same chaos and death filled path that most of their ilk walk, but they are notable for having a strange sense of morality that governs their actions. They truly believe that their actions will lead them to creating a greater world, one free of all of the issues the one they currently live in has. However, there are others who wish to attain this sought after ascension only for themselves, whereas still others who simply wish to attain the ability to ascend, with no other goals beyond that.

Bonus proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch emergence at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Alchemist’s supplies, Herbalism kit, smith’s tools, and Crafting magical items.

You have the ability to craft unique magical items, and when doing so, it takes a quarter of the time and cost. If using the DMGs rule set for crafting magical items, these items can be crafted even though you do not have spell slots, but the cost is doubled instead of being quartered.

Alchemical Homunculus

At 3rd level, you learn ancient methods for magically creating a special homunculus that is formed by alchemical substances.

Whenever you finish a long rest and your alchemist’s supplies are with you, you can form this homunculus in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. If you already have a homunculus from this feature, the first one immediately dies.

The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the Alchemical Homunculus stat block. You determine the homunculus’s appearance, which includes wings and bits of alchemical equipment. Some alchemists prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas others like winged vials or miniature cauldrons.

In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, or Help action.

If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it dies, you must create a new homunculus.

Resonator construction.

When you choose this Eldritch Emerence at 3rd level, you gain the ability to construct unique magical items that increase your awareness of the various planes of existence, at a cost.

Resonator Tuning fork: At 3rd level you are able to construct a tuning fork enchanted with your Aberrant power. This item’s weight is .5lb. and is used by ringing it against another object. When ringed, for 1 minute;

• You can tell if an illusion is active,
• You know if there is a shapeshifter within 10ft. of you (but you cannot tell where, who it is, or if it is currently shifted)
• You gain a +1 to your Perception skill rolls

In order to craft the fork you must 1lb. of silver and you must have smith’s tools on you, otherwise you cannot craft this item. Additionally, the rules for crafting magic items remain the same. In order to complete the fork, you must go through an additional 1 hour long ritual, at the end of which you take 2d4 psychic damage. The item counts as a common magical item

Hand Held Resonator: At 6th level you can add onto your tuning fork, using it as the core for a greater contraption. When constructing a Hand Held resonator, you require an already constructed Tuning Fork. You also require 2lb. of silver, and 1ft. of straightened and thinned copper. The effects of the Hand Held Resonator replace that of the Tuning Fork. Its effects are;

• You gain advantage when trying to peer through illusions, as well as knowing when one is active.
• You know the identity of any shapeshifter within 10ft of you, but you cannot see their true form, nor know if they are currently shifted.
• You gain advantage on all Perception skill rolls.

The effects last for 1 minute, the device weighs 2lb. and counts as if you were constructing an uncommon magical item from scratch when crafting it.

Portable Resonator: At 12th level you further increase your Resonator. In order to do so you require 10lb. of silver, 12ft. of straightened and thinned copper, and 8lb. of worked gold to construct the base of the Portable Resonator. This process counts as if you are constructing a rare magic item. Afterwards, you must construct a second Tuning Fork, attach it to the Hand Held Resonator, which itself takes an additional hour, before working it into the base of the Portable Resonator. This process takes 2 hours to complete. The Portable Resonator can be carried, it weighs 14lb., and cannot be held, but must be set down to use. It gives the following effects when activated;

• You gain advantage when trying to peer through illusions, as well as knowing when one is active. You also gain the advantage against being charmed.
• You know the identity of any shapeshifter within 10ft of you, and you can tell whether or not they are currently shifted, but you cannot see their true form.
• You gain a +1 to your Perception skills rolls as well as advantage.
• Everytime the resonator is used, roll a d20, on a 5 and below you see into the Astral Plane, which is overlaid on what you would normally see. This lets you add double your proficiency bonus to one skill you are proficient in. On a 6-20, you do not peer into the Astral plane, nor gain the benefits of doing so.

The Portable Resonator can be attacked, it has 22 Hit Points, and an armor class of 16. It has an area of effect equal to 30ft. And all of its effects apply to any creature in that area. Additionally, its effects last so long as it is activated, but it may only stay activated safely for 10 minutes. Afterwards, every creature in its area of effect takes 2d8 psychic damage for every turn that it ends in it. Also, if you are currently peering into the Astral plane, other creatures may end up appearing in the material plane. I vn order to decide whether or not this happens, the DM rolls a d100, on a 10-50, creatures spawn within any unoccupied space within the Resonator’s area of effect. When deciding what creatures that spawn, roll as if preparing a random encounter, afterwords, spawn according to the roll, but any creature spawned must be an elemental, aberration, fiend, or celestial. On a 60-100, no creatures spawn. Any creatures spawned by it do not have the effects applied to them however.

Fully Constructed Resonator: At 16th level you gain the ability to perfect your resonator. In order to do so you require 12lb. of silver, 17ft. of thinned and straightened copper, 10lb. of worked gold, and 9lb. of mithril. The mithril is used to construct a core for the finished resonator. Additionally, you must craft two additional tuning forks, and attach them to the Portable Resonator, a process taking two hours. Afterwards, you go about constructing the Resonator, which is counted as crafting a legendary magical item in terms of cost. The Fully Constructed Resonator cannot be carried with you, and must remain in place at the point of its construction. In order to move it, you must deconstruct it, a process that requires a full day. Additionally, you may decide to activate it in degrees, where you may use any of the previous levels of the Resonator when deciding what effects the Resonator grants. However, when fully activated, it has an area of effect of 60ft. and grants the following effects to any and all creatures within it. Those spawned by it do not have the effects applied to them however.

• You gain advantage when trying to peer through illusions, as well as knowing when one is active. You also gain immunity against being charmed.
• You know the identity of any shapeshifter within 10ft of you, you can tell whether or not they are currently shifted, and you can see their true form.
• You gain a +1 to your Perception skills rolls as well as advantage. You also gain a +2 to your passive perception.
• When the Resonator is fully activated, you also see the Astral Plane, which is overlaid on what you normally would see. This lets you add double your proficiency bonus to one skill you are proficient in. Additionally, creatures always spawn as if the DM had rolled a 10-50 on a d100, with the same restrictions on what can be spawned still applying.

The Revival Formula

Also at 3rd level you begin experimenting with chemicals that have been infused with necrotic, healing, and your own aberrant energies. You can a potion that is injected into dead creatures. In order to do so, you must first craft a potion of healing. Afterwards, you spend 1 additional hour, and spend an additional 100 gp to infuse it with necrotic energies, and some of your aberrant energies. You take 1d4 psychic damage and 1d6 necrotic damage at the end of this ritual. Upon completion, you have one vial of your Revival Formula. In order to use it, you must inject it into a corpse, after which, in 1 minute, it is received as an undead creature. It is treated as a zombie with the following changes.

• It gains +9 hit points
• It becomes proficient in constitution throws instead of Wis.
• Its intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores all drop to 1
• Its dexterity score increases to 13, and its strength score increases to 14

The zombie is considered actively hostile to everything, including other undead, you, and your allies. It will even attack structures if there is nothing else to attack. The only thing the zombie will not immediately attack are other zombies created through the formula, in which case they are considered neutral to each other.

Altered Unnatural Casting

You have experimented greatly on yourself, gaining a number of newspells bound in your very blood as a result. Starting at 6th level, you gain the following spells at the following levels as innate casting.

You can cast Animate Dead as a 4th level spell and Revivify at 6th level, Raise Dead, Danse Macabre as 6th level spells and Create Undead as a 7th level spell at 12th level, and finally Finger of Death, and Resurrection at 16th level.

You may cast each spell using your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier. Each modifier gives extra effects;

Intelligence: If you summon an undead, it gains 1d4 extra Hit Points. If you Revive a creature, it gains 1 additional hit point.

Wisdom: If you summon an undead, the amount of time you have for controlling it is doubled. If you revive a creature, you may do so in as an action.

Charisma: If you summon an undead, you create one additional undead so long as there is an additional corpse to do so. If you are reviving a creature, you do not need the required material components.

This features replaces your Unnatural Casting feature. You must still follow restrictions of the spells, and may cast them once per day.

You also gain the Create Homunculus spell at 6th level as a ritual. Otherwise, you must still pay the cost and follow all restrictions of the spell

Greater Revival Formula

At 6th level, you learn to have greater efficiency when creating your original formula, instead creating 3 at the end of the process instead of 1. However, you also gain the ability to create a vial of Greater Revival Formula. In order to do so you must first create a greater healing potion. Afterwards, you may mix one vial of Revival formula with the potion, and then you add your blood to the mixture, taking 1d6 slashing damage. This process takes 10 minutes to complete. You do not need to inject your Greater Revival formula in order for it to work, but may simply pour it onto a corpse. After 1 minute, the corpse becomes a ghoul with the following changes;

• It gains +9 hit points
• It becomes proficient in constitution throws.
• Its intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores all drop to 1
• Its strength score increases to 13, and its constitution score increases to 14
• It gains the Undead fortitude trait.

The Ghoul acts exactly like the Zombies created by the Revival Formula, except it will actively hunt any Zombie created by the Revival Formula before turning against anything else.

Of Flesh and Bone, given false life.

At 12th level, your knowledge on life and death has expanded to create controllable false lifeforms. You gain the ability to create a flesh golem for only a quarter of the time and cost in gold, but you must still use the required materials used in the actual construction of the flesh golem.

Superior Revival Formula

Also at level 12 you once again manage to improve your Revival Formula, and become even more efficient when creating the lesser versions of it, now creating 4 original Formula vials when making it, and 2 Greater Formula when going through the necessary processes. You also manage to find an additional ingredient to make your formula even more powerful. In order to do so, you must first make a Superior Healing Potion, then you must mix one Greater Revival Formula into it, finishing things by adding in the flesh of one random aberration. The time required for mixing and adding the Greater Formula and aberrant flesh to the Superior Healing Potion is 2 hours. Just as you may pour the Greater Revival Formula onto a corpse, you may do the same with the Superior Revival Formula using one bonus action. After 1 minute, the corpse turns into a Greater Zombie with the following changes;

• It gains +9 hit points
• It becomes proficient in constitution throws.
• Its intelligence, wisdom, and charisma scores all drop to 1
• Its dexterity score increases to 15

Blasphemous Innovation

t 16th level you learn to create even more complicated flesh golems. You may create a flesh golem using beasts instead of Humanoids. When doing so, you take the beast out of these options: an ape, a black bear, a boar, a giant badger, a giant weasel, a mule, a panther, or a wolf. If you create a flesh golem out of one of these animals, you use its stat block with the following changes;

• Its creature type changes to construct.
• It gains the aversion to Fire trait.
• It gains the Lightning absorption trait.
• It gains the Magic Weapons trait.

You have also learned ways to create horrific amalgamations by combining the techniques to create a flesh golem and your Superior Revival Formula. When doing so, you may now combine Beast, Humanoid, and even metal to create these amalgamations. The Horrific Amalgamation uses the Flesh Golem stat block with the following changes;

• It loses the Berserk Trait.
• It Loses the Aversion to Fire Trait.
• Its creature type changes to Aberration and undead, causing it to be affected by effects that specify either of the two types.
• It becomes vulnerable to being turned.
• It becomes vulnerable to radiant damage.
• It gains +9 to its hit points.
• It gains the Undead Fortitude trait.
• When it takes the Multi-attack action, it may decide to use any added attacks gained from its construction in place of its slam attacks.
• Its size becomes large.

Supreme Revival Formula

After years of continuous study, and numerous atrocities, you have finally perfected the Revival formula. At 20th you are also now able to create 5 Original Formula vials, 3 Greater Formula Vials, and 2 Supreme Formula vials whenever you go about brewing them. IN order to create the SUpreme Revival formula, you must first create a Supreme Healing Potion, then you must a Superior Revival Formula vial into it, and go about an additional ritual where you take an additional 2d4 psychic damage,and 2d6 necrotic damage at the end of it. The entire process takes 2 hours to complete. Upon completion, you must inject it into a corpse within 1 hour or it expires. Upon injection the corpse immediately revives just as it was in life with the following changes;

• Its creature type changes to Undead.
• It gains the Undead Fortitude trait.
• It gains the Undead Nature trait.
• It has a permanent -3 modifier to its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks, and saves.
• The creature no longer ages

Additionally, you may decide to intentionally die by the psychic damage inflicted onto you by the Fully Constructed Resonator at full activation. If you do, and you die while still in the Resonator’s area of effect by the psychic damage from it on its fully activated setting, and you have the Supreme Revival Formula injected into you, you are revived but gain the following changes;

• Your creature type changes to Aberration and undead, causing you to be affected by effects that specify either of the two types.
• You gain the Undead Fortitude trait.
• You gain the Undead Nature trait.
• You gain a +3 to your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks and saving throws.
• You no longer age.
• You have disadvantage on saving throws forced on you by spells casted from Paladins and Clerics.

The same effects apply to any creature that would go through the same process you would. The resonator ceases to give the bonuses it normally would, it no long spawns any creatures, and no longer causes psychic damage to you. If the Resonator would be destroyed, you are banished from the matirel plane until it is repaired.

The Guardian of the Gate

Masters in manipulating the weave through their aberrant abilities, these Star Touched have mostly eliminated the downfalls of learning to expand their natural aptitude for spellcasting. This however limited them even further than they already would be, so they make up for it through martial prowess, but also allowed them to heal.

Guardians are one of the few Star Touched that can be of good alignment, what’s more, most become lawful in nature simply due to their strict adherence to order. As a consequence, they are often put in direct opposition to their less benign and orderly “brothers”. However, there are indeed a few, hunted by other Guardians, that have shirked their responsibilities and rejoined the vast majority of their “brothers”.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in martial weapons that do not have the heavy property, one instrument of your choice, Performance and Athletics or Acrobatics. If you are already proficient in Performance, then you may gain proficiency in one tool set instead. When using a martial weapon you are proficient with, you may instead use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest at anypoint of time) when rolling to hit or for damage, in place of your strength or dexterity modifier.

A healed mind

Through long, and arduous self-reflection, restraint, and maybe even companionship, your mind has been able to recover from the hardship that brought your powers to you. Starting at 3rd level, you are no longer considered insane, nor suffer from any symptoms of insanity.

Enhanced Unnatural Spellcasting

Your training in mind and body has increased your innate magical abilities. When you choose this eldritch emergence at 3rd level you gain additional spells that you are able to cast innately;

Bane, Expeditious Retreat, Shield, Armor of Agathys, and Zephyr Strike at 3rd level, Misty Step, Blur, Gaseous Form, and Haste at 6th, Banishment, and Teleportation Circle at 12th, and finally Teleport at 16th.

You may cast any spells of 3rd level or below a number of times equal to ½ your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and all above 3rd level once per long rest, except for Teleport, which is once per day. Whenever you cast any of these spells, you may use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier, with each casting modifier granting additional effects;

Intelligence: You may take the attack action as well

Wisdom: You can delay the spell’s effect for 1 turn

Charisma: You do not need to perform verbal or somatic components for the spell.

Eldritch Blasphemies

Your intense training to control your aberrant powers has given you a unique ability to use spells.

Spell Slots

The Guardian of the Gate table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Guardian of the Gate spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. Alternatively you may decide to take 1d4 points of damage to cast a spell of 1st level or lower, with an additional d4 being added for every level above 1st to a maximum of 5. This damage cannot be mitigated in any way.

You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Guardian of the Gate spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Guardian of the Gate spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Guardian of the Gate level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a short or long rest. Preparing a new list of Guardian of the Gate spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spell casting ability

Unlike other classes, you decide to freely switch between using Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for your spellcasting modifier. The power of your spells come from your intense training and control. You choose any of the ability modifiers when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. However, Intelligence is used to set your spell save DC. Depending on the modifier used for when casting a spell, different effects are added to the spell.

Intelligence: The spell has its duration doubled, or heals twice the rolled number, but it also takes your reaction

Wisdom: The spell’s casting time changes to a bonus action but has its duration and effects cut in half

Charisma: You may cast one extra spell so long as the casting time is 1 action by using your reaction and bonus action.

When you cast without using a spell slot, these effects are not applied, but you can still use any of the three modifiers.

The Gate Key

You have a small magical item crafted through the arduous training you went through when attempting to control your powers. It looks somewhat like a heavily twisted and warped key, which can be hung around your neck or wrapped around your wrist by using a piece of string. You use this when casting any spells gained in this class, otherwise you lose the ability to be able to control what you're casting, causing you to roll on Wild Magic Surge table everytime you cast.

You can create another Gate Key if the original is lost, but for 120 days all spells casted using it have a chance to go through a Wild Magic Surge. You determine this by rolling a d20, with a 1 causing a Wild Magic Surge. This is due to you not having the chance to perfect the newly formed key yet.

The true power of a gate key is its ability to open or close portals. At first you may only open and close portals that have already been used, but at 16th level you can open portals on your own, and close any portal that you come into contact with.

If you are using a newly constructed Gate Key, you cannot interact with any portals until the 120 days are up.

Ritual casting

You can cast a Guardian of the Gate spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Martial Augmentation

The intense training you did to actively control your abilities has allowed you to channel some of that energy into your physical self. When you choose this eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you gain 1 extra hit point every time you level up in this class.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Metamagic

At 6th level, you gain the ability to twist your spells to suit your needs. You gain the following Metamagic options. You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

Portal tracker

At 6th level, you gain the ability to psychically sense the presence of a planar portal. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to the closest planar portal within 1 mile of you. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

See the "Planar Travel" section in chapter 2 of the Dungeon Master's Guide for examples of planar portals.

Force wielder

At 12th level, you learn to draw on the energy of the multiverse for your attacks. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 10 feet of you. You can shunt out a blast of pure force that hits the creature, causing it to take 1d8 force damage from the attack. When you reach 16th level in this class, the damage increases to 2d8. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom Modifier.

Eldritch Smite

At 12th level, once per turn when you hit a creature with your weapon, you can expend a Guardian of the Gate spell slot to deal an extra 1d8 force damage to the target, plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot, to a maximum of 2, and you can knock the target prone if it is Huge or smaller. Additionally, depending on the modifier you used when rolling to hit, you get this extra effects;

Intelligence: You deal an extra 1d4 psychic damage

Wisdom: You deal an extra 1d4 of the weapon’s damage

Charisma: You deal an extra 1d4 radiant damage

Flash Step

At 16th level, you gain the ability to blink between areas that you can see. When you use the Attack action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack to an unoccupied space you can see. If you have advantage on the attack, you can trade that advantage for an extra 1d6 of damage that is the same damage type of the weapon you used to hit the creature with. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Favored Enemy

Beginning at 16 level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to creatures that do not normally exist on the material plane.

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with weapon attacks against creatures of the following types: aberrations, celestials, elementals, and fiends. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice, typically one spoken by your favored enemies or creatures associated with them. However, you are free to pick any language you wish to learn.

You are your sword

At 20th level, once per day, you are capable of entering into a state of hyper aware consciousness for 1 hour. During this period of time you gain the following benefits;

• You gain blindsight and tremor sense up to 30ft. In every direction.
• You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells.
• You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, or Disengage action, and you do not provoke opportunity attacks when doing so.
• When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.
• You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• You have resistance to non magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Finally, you can open a portal directly to the Astral plane by using your Gate Key, which pulls all creatures in a cone 90ft. long. All creatures inside of the cone must make a Strength (athletics) and Dexterity (acrobatics) save to avoid being pulled in. They must succeed on both saves to avoid being pulled in, and the save is contested by your spell save DC. What happens to the Creatures pulled in is up to the DM’s discretion. You may only use this once while using this feature.

The Black Summoner

Individuals that reject the notion of serving under any others, and instead decide to ensure their freedom by enslaving, dominating, or manipulating others, these Star Touched may walk a path that is similar to most others, but it certainly has its differences.

Most Star Touched that become Black Summoners are completely neutral to matters of morality, instead using any means they have to secure their own independence above all else, often causing them to be fickle, lone wolves, and deal breakers. A few take this desire into the extremes and grow to love having power over others, enslaving as many other beings to their will as they can. This means that all Black Summoners are chaotic. This may lead to petty actions, such as doing minor crimes simply as a form of rebellion, and may include malicious compliance in cases where they are being forced to create chaos, as it is not to their will.

Bonus Proficiencies

You become proficient in any weapons that have either the ranged property, or the thrown property. You also become proficient in Animal Handling, the Herbalism kit, and Healer’s Kit.

Martiel Weakness

Due to you expanding what your mind was capable of, you neglected to train your body. You have a permanent -2 when rolling to hit with a melee attack, and to the damage roll.

Expanded Unnatural Spellcasting

At 3rd level, your training in your unique abilities has expanded the spells you can innately cast. You gain the following spells at the following levels;

Friends at 3rd level, Animal Friendship, Unseen Servant, Charm Person, and Command at 6th level, Crown of Madness, Tiny Servant, Enthrall, and Suggestion at 12th level, Compulsion, Dominate Beast, Charm Monster, Dominate Person, Geas, and finally Mass Suggestion at 16th level.

You can only innately cast each spell once per day, but you may use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier when casting, which gives extra effects;

Intelligence: If the creature targeted becomes charmed, they are also considered incapacitated, Unseen and Tiny Servent have thier duration doubled.

Wisdom: If the creature targeted is charmed, it becomes willing to harm itself or its companions once, but then the effect immediately ends, unless the spell casted already allows those options, in which case the creature will take one more command after the spell ends or if it succeeds on ending it itself. Unseen and Tiny Servent have the creature they spawn gain 1 additional hit point.

Charisma: The charmed creature has disadvantage on all of its saves to end the charmed effect, or you only need to use a bonus action to maintain control over the creature. The Unseen Servant spell has the creature spawned by it gain a +5 to its AC, and you can spawn two of the creatures spawned by Tiny Servent.

These affects and the restrictions of this feature apply to the cantrip Friends.

Ceremonial Dagger

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain a specialized dagger. This dagger must be crafted by you for it to be eligible for the ritual that grants it its abilities. The dagger may be made of most materials, including stone, bone, and metal, but not made purely from wood. Even if you are not proficient in Smith’s tools you are still able to craft this dagger. The dagger appearance is decided by, but it will always have runes inscribed into it, these runes are the physical writing of your black speech feature. You start off with a Ceremonial Dagger when you choose this eldritch Emergence at third level, having already done the required ritual to turn the crafted dagger into one.

The dagger can be used as a focus for your Unnaturally casted spells, but it is essential to certain features in this Eldritch Emergence. Your Ceremonial Dagger uses the same stat block as a normal dagger, but is considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunities.

If you lose your Ceremonial Dagger at any point of time, it is destroyed, you must craft a new one. First, you must forge a new dagger, a process that takes an hour to complete, or one short rest. Afterwards, you must spend an additional 2 hours, or one long rest, outside bathing the dagger in the blood of a recently slain lamb, while also inscribing it with runes and using your Black Speech feature, all the while with the Star of Hadar hanging over you. If the Star of Hadar is not visible where you are, it is simply not currently in the night sky, you may decide to take 2d8 psychic damage instead to inscribe the runes with the necessary power needed to complete their functions. You must wait until your next long rest before you can use your Black Speech again after going through this process. You do not gain the benefits of resting if you craft a new Ceremonial Dagger during a short or long rest.

A dagger that becomes a Ceremonial Dagger loses the thrown trait.

Black Summoning

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd, you gain the ability to tear into space and time, enslaving and binding aberrations of a certain CR to your will, but only so long as there is a hostile creature that is an immediate danger to you or your allies, or until 1 minute passses and you haven’t entered into combat again with it. When an aberration leaves your service it returns to its point of origin, wherever that might be. The CR of aberration you can summon is based on your level in this class. Additionally, you must make a sacrifice every time you wish to summon an aberration, which takes an action.

Sacrifices

You may make a sacrifice by one of four options.

• Slashing yourself with your Ceremonial Dagger, in which case you take 1d6 slashing damage which cannot be mitigated in anyway.
• Stabbing a Fresh Heart with your Ceremonial Dagger.
• Stabbing a Preserved Heart with you Ceremonial Dagger.
• Killing a creature with your Ceremonial Dagger.

3 of the listed options give varying effects, with an additional effect being added if the creature or heart sacrificed is an aberration or humanoid. Slashing yourself gives no additional bonuses to the aberration summoned. You cannot sacrifice your summoned aberrations. The aberration gains additional bonuses if the creature type of the sacrifice is Humaniod or Aberration, as listed below. Summoned aberrations take their own turns, and roll for their own initiative. You decide what actions the aberration takes on its turn.

Harvesting hearts

In order to gain hearts used for your summoning, you must harvest them. In order to harvest hearts, you must find, or make, a corpse that has been dead for a maximum of 1 day, afterwards the heart becomes unsuitable to be used as a sacrifice. Then you spend a minute using your Ceremonial Dagger to carve the heart out. A heart that has just been harvested counts as a Fresh Heart, which either must be used as a sacrifice or preserved in 1 hour, or it spoils and becomes unsuitable to be used as a sacrifice. The heart must come from a creature that would actually have one, or is not directly connected to mystical elements, hearts can be harvested from any creature except constructs, undead, elementals, oozes, fiends or celestials.

Preserving Hearts

Preserving a heart prevents it from spoiling, and allows you to keep it on your person indefinitely, until it is used for a sacrifice. In order to preserve a heart you must have both a herbalism kit and a healing kit on your person, which you use for 10 minutes to go about preserving the heart.

Sacrificing and Creature size

In order to summon certain creatures of a certain size, you require sacrifices of a certain size. In order to summon a medium sized creature, you must either Slash yourself once, or sacrifice a Fresh or Preserved heart that came from a medium sized creature, marking them as Medium sized hearts. The same applies to every creature size type, however, you can use two hearts to summon one creature that is one size larger than the hearts, but both hearts must be of the same size to do so. Alternatively, you may use a heart that is one size larger than the summoned creature, in which case you may summon two of the creatures as a result. For every size category above medium you must take an additional 1d6 of slashing damage, which cannot be mitigated in any way, you can also summon 1 small aberrations or 1 tiny aberrations instead of 1 medium one.

When killing a creature that is a sacrifice, you may summon one creature that is one size type larger than the sacrificed creature, two creatures of the same size, or three creatures that are one size smaller than the sacrificed creature. All of this information is seen in the table below.

Black Release

The runes in your Ceremonial dagger have finally settled, allowing their energies to permeate the blade. Starting at 6th level, whenever you hit a creature with your Ceremonial Dagger, you deal an additional 1d4 psychic damage. You do not subtract from the psychic damage, only the slashing damage.

Eldritch Binding

At 12th level, your abilities to control aberrations have expanded to an extreme degree. You are now able to bind a summoned aberration to you until you dismiss it, or until it dies. This destroys whatever autonomy you had left it after you summoned and enslaved it. To do the binding, you must take unmitigated 2d10 slashing damage, 1d8 psychic damage (which cannot be mitigated), Sacrifice 1 heart that is one size larger than the aberration you are binding, Sacrifice one creature to it.

You can only bind 1 aberration in this way, and you cannot summon other aberrations so long as you have a bound aberration. It gains the following changes;

• It now counts as being the same level as you.
• It levels up when you do.
• It uses your initiative roll for combat, but its turn happens immediately after your own.
• If it has a multiattack feature, it loses it.
• It gains the Extra Attack feature.
• It may equip armor, shields, and/weapons so long as it meets the requirements, the armor and shield is specifically crafted for it (which increases the cost an additional 250 gp), and it has limbs that would allow it to hold weapons and shields.
• If it has the ability to cast spells, it uses your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest at any time), instead of whatever modifier it would normally use.

You cannot bind an aberration that has a CR that is the maximum CR you can summon. You must use a bonus action to tell it basic commands, otherwise it simply follows you whenever you move, and will only actively defend either itself or you.

Enthrall

At 16th level, you gain the ability to enslave a humanoid to your will permanently, destroying its autonomy in the process. You can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid, so long as it wasn’t incapcitated by magical means. That creature is then charmed by you, and will now follow any orders you give it. It will blindly follow you if you do not give it any orders, and you must use your action to give it commands during combat. If it can cast spells, it uses your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (whichever is highest at any point in time), and you must use your action to order it to do so, and which spell to cast, so long as it knows the spell

You automatically know all of the spells your thrall can cast if it has the ability to do so.

You can communicate telepathically with the charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence.

Supreme Summons

At 20th level, you have gained the ability to summon the apexes of the aberrations, albeit with limited control. You can now summon Death Slaadi, Elder Brains, Beholders and Aboleths. In order to do so you must sacrifice a large creature, a large heart, and take 2d10 slashing damage, which cannot be mitigated in any way. You can only control one of each, and then only for an hour. If 1 hour passes and you have not dismissed any of the summoned aberrations before then, they are freed of your control and immediately become hostile towards you and your allies. You are unable to give orders to them while they are under your control, they DM controls any if they are summoned, and they are considered friendly to you and your allies until the end of the hour you had summoned them.

Additionally, you can summon 1 Neothelid once per day without sacrificing, and cannot summon it in any other way. It is treated as if you had summoned by sacrificing an aberration creature to it, and it is considered friendly to you and your allies, but does not follow your orders, nor is it inclined to help unless forced to. It will act just as it normally would, until 1 hour passes, afterwards the Neothelid dies, and its body contracts in on itself back to its point of origin.

If using a sourcebook that adds aberrations that are CR 14 or higher, you can summon them using this feature. They are treated in the same manner that Beholders, Aboleths, Elder Brains, and Death Slaadi are treated when using this feature. You cannot summon any Aberration that is of a CR higher than 18 using this feature.

The Good Hunter

Unfortunate souls, bound to a life of blood shed, these Star Touched have found alternative ways to sait their lust for chaos and death. They often join churches, conclaves, or guilds dedicated to the hunting and slaying of monsters. They have a particular penchant for hunting down other Star Touched, and aberrations, but they can also be seen hunting monstrosities just as often.

Good Hunters earned their name by their habit of obsessively hunting down Star Touched, aberrations, and anything else that would serve their purposes or got in the way. This obsessiveness comes from a desire not to end up the way most other Star Touched do, yet they are unable to see that they already have. As a consequence, Good Hunters attempt to live up to their name, and may succeed in managing to maintain a good alignment, but more often than not, the desire for death and destruction wins out in the end, and so they seek things other than their fellow man to hunt.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you gain proficiency in Smith’s tools, Alchemist’s supplies, and Woodcarver’s tools.

Walking Workshop

You gain the ability to craft weapons, shields, and armor when you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level. In order to craft a set of armor or a weapon, you require the materials the armor/weapon is made of in the weight of the armor/weapon, and the gp worth of the armor/weapon. You must have your Smith’s tools to do so, and it takes you 1 day to craft a full set of armor, and 3 hours to craft a weapon, unless it is a simple one, which takes only an hour to do. You may also craft unique weapons; Firearms and Switch Weapons.

Switch Weapons

Switch weapons are unique weapons that can be crafted by you, but are extremely expensive to do so. They are a combination of three weapons, gaining attributes of every composite weapon, and gaining the ability to use either your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier when rolling to hit, depending on the weapon. At 3rd level you can craft 3 different switch weapons, but gain the ability to craft more at later levels in this class. You must have your Smith’s tools and Woodcarver’s tools on you to begin crafting, then you spend one day crafting the weapon. You must be at a forge to craft a Switch Weapon. You are considered proficient with any Switch Weapon. Switch wepons count as magical for the purpose of overcomeing immunities and resistences.

Favored Enemy

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to aberrations and monstrosities

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with weapon attacks against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

Learned Explorer

Starting at 3rd, you become a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. This grants you the following benefits:

• You ignore difficult terrain.
• You have advantage on initiative rolls.
• On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.

In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more:

• Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
• Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
• If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
• When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

Blood of mine enemies

At 6th level you learn to drain the fading remnants of a creature’s you’ve slain life force to sustain you through combat. When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points using a switch weapon, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your star touched level (minimum of 1).

You may instead create five blood bullets, which count as magical and can be fired using a firearm even if you do not have Black Powder on you. You can only have 10 blood bullets at any time.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Prosthetics

tarting at 12th level, you gain the ability to create prosthetics to replace lost limbs or eyes, each being enhanced with your unnatural energies. Every prosthetic gives a +1 to AC, and functions exactly like a normal body part, unless otherwise stated. However, a prosthetic requires upkeep every 2 days, which takes 10 minutes or more depending on how long you ignore it, with the effects of doing so seen in the table below;

Creating prosthetics

Creating prosthetics requires 4 hours of work, 50gp worth of any metal, 75gp worth of wood, 9ft. of twine, and you must have your Smith’s tools and Woodcarver’s tools. Prosthetics give an additional effect when used.

Eyes

• Soul seeing eye: This prosthetic was made for the purpose of tracking magic and seeing through any disguises or invisibility. The eyes look like small tan caps over your eyelids, or like doll eyes, with the pupils being slits instead of being rounded. The prosthetic acts as if you have Detect Magic constantly on, you can see invisible creatures, and you are not fooled by any spells, features, or kits that would alter or disguise a creature's appearance. However, you are completely blind in the eye replaced with this prosthetic, causing you to lose ⅓ of your passive perception and are unable to see anything using the eye. Requires the additional materials of leather straps the lens of an eye from a medium creature.
• Divining eye: This prosthetic was made for the purpose of gaining the ability to gain premonitions and telling if a creature is possessed or charmed. The eye looks like a ball of some type of metal or crystal. Randomly, the grants you premonitions based on the Augury spell (the DM decides when, if ever), and you can tell if a creature is currently being possessed or is charmed by an effect. However, you are completely blind in the eye replaced with this prosthetic, causing you to lose ⅓ of your passive perception and are unable to see anything using the eye. Requires the additional materials of 10grams of silver and 1 gemstone of anytype and worth.

If both eyes on a creature are replaced by prosthetic eyes, it loses ⅔ of its passive perception (rounded down), but gains blindsight of up to 30ft., but is completely and totally blind beyond this range.

Equipping Prosthetics

When attempting to equip a prosthetic, it is important to note that it replaces whatever part of the body the prosthetic functions as. This means a creature with both eyes and all of its limbs is unable to equip any prosthetic. As such, a creature can choose to have the corresponding body part to equip a prosthetic. This process is painful, and dangerous, as well as time consuming. It takes 3 hours to safely remove a body from a creature, causing it to take unmitigated damage equal to 1d12. You can shorten the process to an hour, but you must roll a d20, and on a roll of 1 or 20, the creature that is going through the process dies. It takes 2 hours to actually equip a prosthetics, which is not as dangerous, but is also very painful. Equiping a prosthetic causes a creature to take 1d4 unmitigated damage. Afterwards, the prosthetic functions completely normally.

You are able to put yourself through the body part removal process, and to equip a prosthetic onto yourself by yourself, but it doubles the time required to do so. You can have help, which brings it down to the original time, and you may equip a prosthetic to one willing creature.

Blood of mineself

Your aberrant abilities have given you the ability to enchant your weapons, and to increase their damage output, at a hefty cost. Starting at 12th level you can decide to attack yourself with a switch weapon, taking the appropriate damage when doing so, and using your action for the turn.

The Fanaticle Crusader

Driven with an unending drive, these Star Touched have taken the trauma of their contact with the Great Old Ones and turned it into a pedestal of strength. Very much like Guardians of the Gate, and Good Hunters, they go around searching for aberrations to cleanse. However, unlike their “brothers”, on either side of the spectrum, they are true believers of the saying “the ends justify the means”. Fanaticle Crusaders have burned and destroyed entire villages on the mere suspicion that there may be a cult worshiping one of, or all, of the Great Old Ones, and that every one of the villagers are tainted by their corruption. They cannot be fully blamed for this however, as many of the Star Touched often use such guises for their own ends, and only another Star Touched could hope to find such things without days of investigation, they know their own.

Fanaticle Crusaders reject the usage of their powers completely, unable to stand the taint of them. This doesn’t help with their insanity however, as only careful training in controlling them would cure them, but it has given them the ability to focus their strengths on physicality while also ironically making their insanity worse. Fanatcile Crusaders refuse to suffer aberrations, and those affiliated with them, using any means necessary to stop the spread of their influence. This includes outright evil actions, as any individual, no matter status, condition, or age can be tortured, kidnapped, or killed in an especially brutal way, such as being burnt alive. The actual innocence of the target doesn’t matter, so long as the taint of The Great Old Ones doesn’t spread. They can even be seen taking their fight on guilds of Eye Tyrants, hunting Aboleths, and raiding colonies of Mind Flayers. Slaying servants, slaves, and followers alike in these cases, as three innocent lives for every one tainted life is considered acceptable. However, this fanaticism reaches deep down to their souls, causing them to take suicidal actions to cleanse even themselves from this world.

Rejection of your Heritage

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you lose the ability to use your ZUnnatural Casting, Telepathy, and Black Speech features, though you can still read, write, and speak undercommon and deepspeech. You are no longer proficient in charisma and wisdom saves.

You gain the following features in replacement to those you lost;

• Danger Sense: You gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Price of Rejection

You gain one additional effect of insanity when you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level.

Death Seeker

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you have permanent disadvantage on all death saving throws.

Bonus Proficiencies

Hardened body

At 3rd level, you have advantage on all constitution saving throws.

Advanced tactics

At 6th, you learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.

Maneuvers: You learn the five maneuvers listed below. These maneuvers enhance your attacks in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack.

Superiority Dice: You have five superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Saving Throws: Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Executions

At 6th level you gain executions. Executions are fueled superiority die, but can only be used when a creature drops to 0 hit points due to an attack from you. However, due to their limitations, they give greater bonuses to you, or cause stronger effects. The execution done is determined by the weapon damage type you are using. Some executions require a save, the save DC is the same as your Maneuver save DC.

If a creature has less than 6 hit points, you can use an execution to kill it instantly, but it can make a save, upon a success, it survives and the superiority die is still expended, upon a failure, it is executed. You may also use an execution if you roll a critical hit, and the creature has less than 15 hit points remaining. Useing an execution in this manor kills the creature instantly.

Burn in Righteous Flame

At 12th level ,you have learned to create an incendiary that you may use in place of your executions or on a incapcitated creature. In order to create the incedairy, you must first spend one minute foraging for the necessary materials, and then you must have some way to light the incendiary.

When using the incendairy against one incapacitated creature, it kills it in three rounds unless the flames are put out. It takes an action to put the flames out, and the creature must make a DC 15 wisdom (survival) check and succeed before putting the flames out, and on a critical failure, the flames spread to the creature attempting to put the flames out. Creatures that are immune to fire damage are unaffected, creature’s resistant to fire damage take 1d12 fire damage instead (resistance still applies), creatures vulnerable to fire damage die in 1 round.

Dissociation of Mind and Body

At 16th level you can dissociate yourself from your body, causing you to lose your fear of harm and death. On your turn, you can dissociate yourself as a bonus action.

While dissociated, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing medium or heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Constitution saving throws
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage
• You cannot be incapacitated except by magical means or by falling to 0 hit points
• If you were to drop to 0 hit points due to an attack or spell, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by a critical hit.
• You gain a +20 to your movement speed

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while dissociated.

Your dissociation lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you haven't used any of your Eldritch emergence features or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your dissociation on your turn as a bonus action.You may dissociate a total of 5 times before you may do so again. If you have dropped to 0 hit points while dissociated or leave your dissociation with half or below your total hit points, you gain 3 levels of exhaustion and your walking speed is halved.

Fervor of the Fanatic

Your fervor for the destruction of the taint allows you to pull impossible feats. Once per day, you may use your executions without expending superiority die, and may kill any creature that could be killed by said executions, of CR 9 or lower when you successfully hit the creature, additionally, you get criticals on 19s and 20s, for one hour.

You may also decide to take 4d10 additional damage to increase the CR maximum by one to a maximum of four times. You must take this damage every time you attack.

Manuvers

Disarming Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet. Lunging Attack: When you make a melee weapon attack on your turn, you can expend one superiority die to increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.

Pushing Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to drive the target back. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you.

Sweeping Attack: When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to damage another creature with the same attack. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to the number you roll on your superiority die. The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack.

Menacing Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Executions

Off with his head: Caused by a weapon that deals slashing damage. You brutally slash off a creature's head, killing it, and causing you to gain advantage on your next attack.

Smashed to dust: Caused by a weapon that deals slashing damage. You savagely smash portions of the creature's body, forcing every creature that can see the event to make a save, on a failure, they are given the frightened condition. Creatures that can not see you are unaffected.

Stabbed through the heart: Caused by a weapon that deals piercing damage. You cruelly run the creature through the heart, before lifting it up and pulling your weapon free. Any creature that attacks you has disadvantage next turn. A kill shot: Caused by a ranged weapon. You fire your one shot of your ammunition through the creature’s head, causing it allies within 5ft. of it to be stunned. Creatures that can not see you are unaffected.

Rapturous Prophet

Quite possibly the worst of the worst of the Star Touched, these individuals are exactly what the Occultist had tried to be, what Mad Speakers failed to be, holders of the knowledge that Cosmic Scholars seek out so desperately, and what the Guardian of the Gate, Good Hunter, and Fanaticle Crusader try to purge from the prime material plane. Mad beyond compare, they gleefully serve their “gods” in every manner presented to them, with no cost to high, no action to disdainful, they bring chaos for the sake of chaos.

Rapturous Prophets are often the leader of cults, and often have a host of occultists serving under them, promising them ascension in the same manner that they have achieved it, whispered lies of the mad to the mad. Rapturous Prophets have no higher beliefs, they see no point in life, thinking of it as a mistake, and seeing undeath as nothing more than a falsehood of life, they crave for death and destruction. They do not care if their “gods” do not care for them, they do not care what happens to their soul after death, they do not care about the lives of other beings, they view the whole of creation as a mistake. They greatest gift they could ask for is to be one with one of their “gods”, be it as having their soul devoured, being absorbed into their bodies, or joining them in eternal servitude.

Friend to the Dark

Sentient evil beings that have the capacity to know what the nature of your soul/alignment are, under normal circumstances, neutral or unfriendly towards you. You are capable of working with Devils and Demons, Yuan-ti, Werewolves, or even the minions of evil gods. However, just because you are capable of working with these beings, you are in no way friends, but are actually temporary allies in the best of circumstances, and you will engage in hostilities just as often as you do not. The end of these encounters depends entirely on whatever you, and the second party, are trying to accomplish, and for what reason you are trying to accomplish that goal. You are first and foremost, forever and always, a servant the Great Old Ones, before any other mortal connections.

Eldritch Blasphemies

Your deep bond to the Great Old Ones has given you a unique ability to use spells, at a great cost.

Blasphemous Gift

You have been a “gift” to focus your rampaging energies by your “gods”, most likely by mistake. You have a Blasphemous gift, which is used as your focus to cast your spells. Your blasphemous gift is an item that can either be worn or held. You can freely construct your own blasphemous gift, but it must be constructed of materials that would be considered a crime to obtain, such as desecrated artifacts, or the bones of a sentient being you killed. It’s appearance is whatever you decide it to be.

• If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to seed paranoia and fear into its mind.

The target is frightened in this way for 1 hour, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged.

If the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it.

• When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it.

You may use this feature three times before needing to take a long rest.

Abominable “Gifts”

Starting at 6th level you begin to be “gifted” horrific mutations. These “gifts'' are the only thing that could be considered to have meaning to you, besides your “gods”, and so you are more than willing to show them off to the world, unless it interferes with one of your plans.

Every abominable gift causes a -3 modifier to your charisma rolls during any kind of diplomacy, excluding intimidation. This malus is instead turned into a bonus when doing diplomacy with other cultists, and allows you to say your piece, leave without hostilities or even cause a friendly attitude when in regards with other evil creatures.

This only applies if they are openly displayed.

The malus doubles for good aligned creatures.

You gain additional gifts at higher levels

04: Undulating Lips

The gift causes your entire upper jaw to split into four writhing, toothed, reddish, pink tendrils. You can no longer speak any language other than Deep Speech, nor do you need to form somatic components for any spells you cast, your tendrils doing both for you.

• If you already have the Siren Jaw gift, you can no longer retract it, but you regain the ability to speak undercommon, the tendrils and lower jaw contorting unnaturally to do so, which causes any attempt at persuasion failing immediately unless the creature is an aberrant, devil, demon, hag, or any other creature of evil alignment.

05: Nothing

You fail to form a gift, causing disadvantage on all of your ability rolls until your next long rest.

06: Two picks

After doing so, the tentacle vanishes. Otherwise, the tentacle last for 1 minute.
• You summon spectral tentacles that fill a 20-foot square of ground that you can see within 30ft. of you. For the duration, these tentacles turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.

It takes its own turns, has its own initiative, and doesn’t take orders. It merely protects you.

If the parent survives, it bonds to the parent.

The Mad Artisan

Theses Star Touched are the second oldest of them, only younger than the occultist by a couple of years. Individuals that had attempted to preserve their mortality and prevent their aberrant powers from manifesting, they kept them inside, holding large portions of it in their minds and souls. This lead to them developing strange, new abilities, and altering their innate casting abilities.

Mad Artisans have altered their minds and souls irreversibly, their attempts at retaining their mortality only serving to strengthen their aberrant powers, and the influence they have on their minds and souls. Eventually, they cease to be humanoids in mind and soul. What’s more, this strengthened taint infects everything they create, and inspires a love for creating. They are skilled artisans, which is where they get the latter half of their name, but their works are invariably dangerous to the beholder of them. Paintings, carvings, and music all have the unfortunate trend of infecting others with temporary madness, sometimes intentionally so in the case of music.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the performance skill, The Flute, violin, or Lyre, Glassblower’s tools, Jeweler’s tools, Painter’s supplies, and finally, Woodcarver’s tools.

Eldritch Spirits

You are, in every place, at all times, surrounded by the strange, insanity inducing spirits of aberrations. Completely intangible, they cannot interact in any way with the physical world, or other spiritual creatures, they cannot be sensed nor blocked in any way. Only you can see them, and they play along with you.

You can use your bonus action to give yourself advantage on one attack, or skill roll by petitioning your spirits to start a concert for you. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

Telling shadow

Your shadow reflects how much of you retains your mortality

At 3rd level your shadow is mostly normal, except it is always larger than it should be, it moves slightly before or after you do, and it is visible even during night. Any creature can take a DC 19 wisdom(perception) check to be able to tell these differences.

At 6th level, your shadow begins to visibly distort, with its proportions always being wrong to the level of the light, and slight twitching being added to the displays shown in third level. The DC is decreased to 12.

When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, you gain the ability to craft a piece of art. When crafting a piece of art, you must have the required Artisan tool to make the piece of artwork. Depending on the time you spend on a piece of artwork, it has various effects. If any creature spends 1 minute looking at a piece of art, or if the creature touches a work of art that was made by you, they are forced to make a DC 5 wisdom save. If they succeed on the save, they have absolutely no idea that their mind was under attack, but must make the saving throw again every additional minute they spend looking or touching your artwork.

Creatures are only affected by the effect of a piece of artwork once when they fail their wisdom save with any one piece of artwork, but can still be affected by a different piece of artwork you made, even if it is the same type as the one the creature had been affected by previously.

You can create additional pieces of artwork at higher levels, each one becoming more complicated and requiring a longer minimum time to craft the piece of art.

You can create a Magnus Opes at 20th level, which has the ability to drive any who gaze upon it insane at a glance, grant them a wondrous boon, or do absolutely nothing. The effect that happens is determined by a d100. 10-30 does nothing, 40-60 causes insanity. and 70-100 gives the boon.

The save DC becomes 8 at 6th level, 10 at 12th level, 12 at 16th level, and 16 at 20th level.

Every creature that succeeds on the save is unaffected by the effects of this feature.

Wisdom v. Charisma: Any creature that fails its saving throw attacks one individual that you had singled out in a display of mob mentality. However, they do not do more than incapacitate the creature that was marked.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to unleash a portion of your black speech’s abilities into your normal words and tap into a creature’s deepest fears.

As an action, you psionically whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a DC 9 Wisdom saving throw. It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a successful saving throw, your whisper sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.

If the target fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies attack or damage it. It interprets the whispers as a description of its most mortifying secret.

While you gain no knowledge of this secret, the target is convinced you know it. While charmed in this way, the creature obeys your commands for fear that you will reveal its secret. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.

When the effect ends, the creature becomes actively hostile towards you and any you associate with.

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

At 12th level the d6 turns into a d8. You can use this feature three times before needing to take a short or long rest to do so again.

Painfully Beautiful

At 6th level your spirits grant you the ability to play a maddeningly beautiful tune. You can use your turn for the round to put on a performance by playing your instrument. You choose creatures equal to your intelligence modifier, they must make a DC 12 wisdom roll or be charmed by you for the round. When a creature is charmed by you, it will take any action that is in your current best interest, to the best of its ability. After its turn ends, it is no longer considered charmed by you.

If the creature succeeds on its save, it instead takes 1d12 psychic damage.

You can use this feature twice before needing to take a long rest to do so again.

Unnatural Performance

At 12th level you can temporarily cede control of your body to your spirits, letting you perform a show of playing music, singing, and dancing, contorting in unnatural manners. You can use your turn for the round to put on an unnatural performance, which lets you choose a number of creatures equal to your intelligence modifier. The chosen creatures gain the ability to augment their first attack on their turns with an additional 1d6 psychic damage.

At the end of the performance, due to the alienness of your body to your spirits, your hit points are halved from the accidental harm they inflicted upon it.

You can use this feature three times before having to take a short or long rest.

Dissonant Notes

At 16th level, you have become a firm vessel for your spirits, allowing for some of their chorus to be heard, and seen by other creatures. You can use your action to use the following actions;

• Your spirits become semi-visible, and dance a horrific, unnatural performance, causing every creature to see it to make a DC 12 wisdom save. On a failure, they are considered to be afraid of you.

• Your Unnatural casting counts as psionics now.

Additionally, once per day, you can put on an hour-long performance. During the performance your spirits can be seen and heard by other creatures, and you play, sing and dance with them. This causes any creature up to 60ft. That can see, or hear, the performance to make consecutive DC 15 intelligence, wisdom, and charisma saves. Depending on the results, the following effect are applied;

Success on all saves: Nothing happens to the creature, and it has advantage on any saving throw you force on it for the entirety of the next round.

Failure on one save: The creature takes 2d8 psychic damage.

Failure on 2 saves: The creature takes 2d8 psychic damage and 1d12 force damage.

Failure on all saves: The creature takes 2d8 psychic damage, 1d12 force damage and is driven irrevocably insane.

You cannot be interrupted during this performance, nor take actions, you can still take damage. If you would drop to 0 Hit Points during the performance, you continue performing until the end, the spirits and you are in an open flow of energy exchange, but you die immediately and outright after the end of it.

The Aberrant of Flesh

The third oldest of the Starborn, and the second known attempt by them to retain their mortality, they took the lesson of the Mad Artisans to heart, and instead of trying to keep the aberrant powers they now possess within, they shunted it all out to their bodies. They are also one of the most notorious failures, as their bodies become increasingly more twisted, until they retain only their mind and soul, but at the cost of being trapped inside an aberrant body.

Aberrants are successful in shunting all of the aberrant power inside them to their bodies, and this ordinarily would have cured them of their madness, but the consequences of this action is more than enough to keep them from healing. Their bodies have become like clay for them, able to shapeshift easily, being able to adapt their bodies to almost any situation. But as they gain further control over their powers, their true form becomes increasingly alien

Unarmored Defense

Starting at 3rd level, when you are not wearing armor of any kind, your AC becomes 6 + your intelligence modifier + your wisdom modifier + your charisma modifier.

Aberrant body

Extreme Shifts and Subtle Adaptations

Starting at 3rd level, you have gained the ability to form natural weapons, and subtler alterations. You are unable to cast the Alter Self spell when you choose this eldritch emergence. Any clothing or armor you wear must be specially made to accommodate any shifting you do, otherwise it is destroyed. Alternatively, you could wear rags or an easily removed robe.

At 3rd level you have access to the following extreme shifts. It takes an action to form and unform a shift. You cannot shift from one option to the next, you must unform a current shift to use another.

Beastly Bile

At 3rd level, your decision to pour your aberrant abilities into your body has caused unexpected side effects. As an action, you can choose a number of creatures equal to your charisma modifier and are up to 10ft. away from you. You regurgitate foul stomach acid on these creatures, dealing 1d6 acid damage. Additionally, the creatures hit by this must take a Con. save or be poisoned until the end of their next turn.

You can only use this feature once before needing to take a short or long rest.

Advanced Extreme Shifts and Subtle Adaptations

At 6th level you gain stronger extreme shifts and subtle adaptations, all of which are more varied. Your maximum for each turns to three, and you can now two of each if you decide to have both active.

At 6th level, you gain these following advanced extreme shifts.

Transformations

At 6th level you gain two transformations that take the entirety of your turn to activate, but give you substantial, albeit specializing, bonuses to either diplomacy or combat. You must use a turn to shift out of either form, and you can’t shift from one to the other, you must be in your base form to transform into either form. You automatically go back to your base form if you take a long or short rest.

Diplomatic form

You become a stunningly beautiful version of whatever race you are. There is almost a painfulness to the beauty of your complexion, with every movement being as graceful and smooth as silk, and every feature on you being delicate and dreamlike. This came at a cost however.

• Every creature that sees you must make a DC 10 perception save or be charmed by you. Charmed creatures speak glowingly of you for 1 hour, or for as long as you are around them, they also become extremely willing to help you, but will turn against you if you harm them or close associates, nor will they commit violence or crimes for you.

• You automatically fail any intimidation rolls, but you add 2 to any persuasion and deception rolls you make.

• You can not access any extreme shift or subtle adaptations while in this form, with the exception of the soothing pheromones subtle adaptation.

• You have disadvantage on all rolls when rolling to hit while in this form.

• You subtract 3 from any damage roll you make while in this form, but your roll cannot go below 0

• You take double damage from any attack while in this form.

• Close friends, associates, and allies are immune to the effects of this form.

  You may use this feature 3 times per long rest. At 12th level you can use this 4 times before needing to take a long rest.

Aberrant Cost

As of 6th level, your body slowly starts to permanently shift into that of an aberration, acting akin to the curse that a Wild Magic Sorcerer has. At 6th level, you can easily hide this mutation, as it is only affecting a small portion of your body, such as your eyes, or your hand. You decide what the actual mutation looks like, but there is no way to get rid of it. Any creature can take a DC 19 wisdom(perception) check to be able to tell these differences.

The only way to stop the spreading of the mutation is to no longer take any levels in this class, otherwise the mutation will continue to spread.

By 12th level your mutation has covered roughly half of your body, giving you a significantly different body structure. While you can hide the mutation, you most use heavily obscuring clothing or armor. The portions of your body that were not affected look sickly, and off, as they are already mutating as well. The portions covered can be your lower body, your upper body(excluding your face), or random patches around your body. The DC is reduced to 6.

By 16th level only a third of what you used to be remains, and even that looks like a cross between your mutations features and your races. Your face is the only thing recognizable about you, and already portions of that are mutated. The DC is reduced to 3.

By 20th level, all of your body has mutated, become that of an aberrant, which can be an ever shifting blob, to something more recognizable, you decide your appearance. Your creature type changes to aberrant, and your innate casting becomes psionic. Every creature releases your appearance.

Any creature that views your mutations is disgusted, and immune to your diplomatic forms affects. It will become unfriendly, or outright hostile if it realises you are trying to influence it.

Greater transformations

At 16th level, your aberrant powers evolve, you gain additional transformations. You are unable to use any extreme shifts or subtle adaptations while in any of these forms, but each gives extreme combat power in its own regard. Every form gives you the bonuses of the combat form, excluding the ability to use your extreme shifts and subtle adaptations.

Aberrant Monstrosity

You become a creature akin to a cross breed between a Gray Render, an Ettercap and a Displacer Beast. While in this form, you use your wisdom modifier to hit and damage. You gain the following features;

The Dual Warped

The youngest of the Star touched, these individuals are a direct result of the massive diversification that the Star Touched have gone through over the years. Individuals that looked at the oldest of the Star Touched, they have gained a unique insight into the causes and functions of their abilities, becoming something of a hybrid of the Twisted Artisans, and Abominations, splitting the influence of their powers between their mind, body and soul.

Individuals who often seek out their own paths in life, their insanity has become the core of their personality, being the base of what it is built upon, instead of twisting it. Often having nonsensical views of the world, they are not inherently harmful to others, and can be of good alignments in cases where their insanity doesn’t inspire mindless bloodlust, and can be of evil alignments when they have built up bloodthirsty personalities that aren’t interfered with by nonsensical fantasies. Most, however, walk the path of some form of neutrality, rither living by a skewed code of ethics, living without a care for law or chaos, or causing chaos for the sake of it, harmful or otherwise.

Crazy is my personality

Whatever effect of madness you had picked during character creation is now permanently, and can only be removed by a wish spell. What’s more, instead of having your actions being affected by your madness, they revolve around it. Your identity is built upon that flaw, and without, you would be lost.

Friendly, ugly spirits

You gain aberrant spirits that occasionally manifest during times of rest, or when you call upon them. Unlike the mad artisans however, these spirits can in fact interact with the material plane, but only in limited ways. They also do not cause any creative impulses, and are normally only visible to you. They make no sounds, but communicate via sensations, and occasionally during dreams.

Evolving shadow

Like Twisted Artisans, your shadow gains unnatural elements to it, however, these elements are far more extreme and physical, with your shadow getting stronger as you do.

Shifting Form

Like the Aberrants of Flesh, you are able to twist your limbs into natural weapons, but are unable to gain the finesse to alter your body in any way beyond that.

Spiritual Guardians

At 3rd level you can bring your spirits into battle. As an action, you can target one creature for your spirits to harass, Until the start of your next turn, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when the target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.

Also at 3rd level, you cannot be made to dream by any means, when you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level. You can still be put to sleep however.

Shadow Hound

Starting at 3rd level, your shadow can split from you and transform into a hound of pure darkness. Most of the time, your shadow hound masquerades as your normal shadow. As a bonus action, you can command it to magically slip into the shadow of a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. While the shadow hound is merged in this manner, the target can’t gain the benefits of half cover or three-quarters cover against your attack rolls, and you know the distance and direction to the target even if it is hidden. The hound can’t be seen by anyone but you and those with truesight, and it is unaffected by light. The target has a vague feeling of dread while the hound is present. As a bonus action, you can command your shadow hound to return to you. It also automatically returns to you if you and the target are on different planes of existence, if you’re incapacitated, or if Dispel Magic, Remove Curse, or similar magic is used on the target. Additionally, while your shadow hound is split from you, you cast no shadow.

Creatures can notice your lack of a shadow if they pass a DC 12 wisdom(perception) check. Any creatures that notice your lack of a shadow immediately becomes wary and distrustful of you.

Extreme Shifts and Subtle Adaptations

Starting at 3rd level, you have gained the ability to form natural weapons. You are unable to cast the Alter Self spell when you choose this eldritch emergence.

Mantle of the Dead

At 12th level, you gain the ability to adopt a humanoid's persona. When a humanoid dies within 30 feet of you, you can use your shadow to devour its shadow using your reaction. You retain this devoured shadow until you use it or you finish a long rest.

You can use the devoured shadow as an action. When you do so, it vanishes, magically transforming into a disguise that appears on you. You now look like the dead person, but healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action.

While you're in the disguise, you gain access to all information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Such information includes general details on its background and personal life, but doesn't include secrets. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by drawing on its memories.

Another creature can see through this disguise by succeeding on a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check. You gain a +5 bonus to your check.

Once you capture a shadow with this feature, you can't capture another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.

Aberrant counsel

At 12th level, you gain the ability to consult with your aberrant spirits. When you do so, you cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this use of Clairvoyance invisibly summons your aberrant spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

After you cast either spell in this way, you can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Aberrant and Shadowy transformations
