Star Warden
Ranger subclass
Ever vigilant, Star Wardens take the charge of guarding the night from those who desire darkness. Blessed by the stars, they bring to light that which hides within shadow. Clad in moonlight and guided by the stars, Star Wardens harness the essence of the stars to stand against the tide of darkness.

Shooting Star
3rd-level Star Warden feature
You can call upon the power of the stars when you hit with an attack.
Once per turn immediately after you hit a creature with an attack, a mote of stellar energy descends upon the target.
As it descends you can choose an effect:
- The stellar mote crashes into the target, the attack's target takes 1d6 radiant damage.
- The stellar mote explodes, the attack's target and any creature in a 5-foot radius around the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d4 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Stellar Magic
3rd-level Star Warden feature You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Stellar Magic Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
