Constellaire
An elder star-watcher reads the bounty on the board. Quick fey thieves looting trade caravans and making off in the blink of an eye! This isn't the first time his star-crossed skill with the blade would be needed, and it won't be the last.
The Knight of Day reeled from a blow in the arena, eating the assault of the champion gladiator. Before he has a chance to recover from extending his blade, the knight arcs a one-handed greataxe perfectly between his head and shoulders.
The goblin horde ignored the armored blue guard and ran right past them toward the unarmored weaklings using magic. Before they could get all the way there, the blue guard raises their halberd high and gains their own gravity, yanking the goblins right back into the halberd's reach.
These constellaires are all in different moments of time walking their own paths, but are united by their arc of divinity. In their spiritual tie to heavenly bodies, they have learned to grasp perfection, and rely on it to save their friends, bring themselves glory, or build a renown of fear.
Born under a Constellation
Constellaires have a particular shared birth. From the north to the south all constellaires are born under one constellation or another. The same set of stars has different meanings and exact shapes wherever you go. You can roll or choose the star your constellaire was born under below.
| d6 | Loot |
|---|---|
| 1 | A Crab of Freedom, a group of three wanderers |
| 2 | Thief in the Moonmaid, an icy song |
| 3 | Menelmacar, the swordsman of the sky |
| 4 | Ship, Hammer and Leopard of a past age |
| 5 | Manaiakalani, the hook-sickle of a great hero-king |
| 6 | Kasterborous, the grand sundial of the heavens |
Quick Build
You can make a constellaire quickly by following these suggestions. Either make Strength your highest ability score and choose the halberd or make Dexterity your highest ability score and choose the heavy crossbow. Then, make Constitution your next highest score and choose the sailor background.
Multiclassing
The prerequisites for multiclassing into a constellaire are a Strength and Dexterity score of 13. When you multiclass into constellaire, you gain proficiency with light armor, medium armor and shields, and simple and martial weapons.

- When you make a weapon attack using one hand, you can make it automatically hit once per turn, after you see the roll but before you know the result.
- You can wield a weapon you're holding with one hand as a shield. When you do, you add that weapon's damage dice to your Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them, concentrate on them or expend spell slots while arcing.
Your arc lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't damaged a hostile creature since your last turn or been attacked since then. You can also end your arc early on your turn.
