Star Champion
An stoic dwarf stands tall amongst a flaming inferno as he stares down a red dragon many times his size, he takes a steadying breath and raises his shining fists, preparing himself for yet another onslaught of whirling claws and gnashing teeth.
From the back of a rowdy tavern a smug looking human in a worn down attire hurls insults back an forth with a group of grizzled miners, eventually finding himself battered, bruised, and banned from yet another local tavern.
Swarmed by a writhing hoard of undead, a shining Elf coats her blade with the same glow that surounds her, cutting off one approaching monstrosity after another, all while keeping the frightened young tiefling wrapped around her ankle safe and secure.
When the situation is at its most dire, the Star Champions will give their all. These stalwart warriors use their cosmic energy to bring down their target or become the last line of defense between their allies and certain doom.
Cosmic Fighters
Whether born with a spark of innate Astral potential within them, or gifted their Stellar abilities by a powerful entity, Star Champions at their core are walking incarnations of Cosmic potential. Star Champions are a rare occurrence amongst mortals, and their innate power often leads to them being the center of attention. However, this power does have its downsides, and when not used, it finds ways to spill out into the world.
Often, the astral spark within a Star Champion is what motivates them to adventure. Some are seeking out others who also wield these powers, and others look to master their innate ability.
Force of Astral Prowess
The Cosmos is an integral part of the life of any Star Champion, suffusing their body, mind, and soul. For some, this power is inherited from a bloodline that carries the cosmic spark of a powerful being. Others manifest their power randomly, having it burst forth in unexpected ways. The appearance of power is unpredictable, some bloodlines producing a Star Champion once a generation, and in others, each descendant has cosmic potential.
Whatever their origins, Star Champions have to learn how to control their abilities and have to hone their bodies to withstand the energies that they deal with. They draw the power from entities far beyond the stars, and they can harness their power to produce overwhelming feats.
Creating a Star Champion
When you are creating your Star Champion, consider these two specific elements: the origin of the spark that has given them their powers and how it has manifested, and how they intend to use this Cosmic brilliance. Have you accepted this power, or do you resent it for the expectations it has laid upon you?
Star Champion are known for their martial prowess, but that doesn't always come naturally. You might've enjoyed years of formal training in an army or militia, or perhaps you studied under the tutelage of a mentor keen on sharpening the skills you had at a young age.
After adventuring for some time, all Star Champion receive the blessings of a Star. Is the spark within you a festering curse that will only make you more ruthless as time passes, or is it a blessing that allows them to execute those aligned with forces that would watch the world burn? You may possibly divine it as an instrument that has allowed you to do as you see fit.
Multiclassing and the Star Champion

Whether born with a spark of innate Astral potential within them, or gifted their Stellar abilities by a powerful entity, Star Champions at their core are walking incarnations of Cosmic potential. Star Champions are a rare occurrence amongst mortals, and their innate power often leads to them being the center of attention. However, this power does have its downsides, and when not used, it finds ways to spill out into the world.
Often, the astral spark within a Star Champion is what motivates them to adventure. Some are seeking out others who also wield these powers, and others look to master their innate ability.
Force of Astral Prowess
The Cosmos is an integral part of the life of any Star Champion, suffusing their body, mind, and soul. For some, this power is inherited from a bloodline that carries the cosmic spark of a powerful being. Others manifest their power randomly, having it burst forth in unexpected ways. The appearance of power is unpredictable, some bloodlines producing a Star Champion once a generation, and in others, each descendant has cosmic potential.
Whatever their origins, Star Champions have to learn how to control their abilities and have to hone their bodies to withstand the energies that they deal with. They draw the power from entities far beyond the stars, and they can harness their power to produce overwhelming feats.
Creating a Star Champion
When you are creating your Star Champion, consider these two specific elements: the origin of the spark that has given them their powers and how it has manifested, and how they intend to use this Cosmic brilliance. Have you accepted this power, or do you resent it for the expectations it has laid upon you?
Star Champion are known for their martial prowess, but that doesn't always come naturally. You might've enjoyed years of formal training in an army or militia, or perhaps you studied under the tutelage of a mentor keen on sharpening the skills you had at a young age.
After adventuring for some time, all Star Champion receive the blessings of a Star. Is the spark within you a festering curse that will only make you more ruthless as time passes, or is it a blessing that allows them to execute those aligned with forces that would watch the world burn? You may possibly divine it as an instrument that has allowed you to do as you see fit.
Multiclassing and the Star Champion
If your group uses the optional multiclassing rule, here's what you need to know if you choose to take a level in the Star Champion class.
Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least a 13 in Strength or Dexterity and a 13 on Charisma to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a Star Champion.

Version Info
This is Version 1.1 Alpha of the The Star Champion class, created by SxRain
Art Credits to Their Respective Creators
More of my homebrew can be found on my GMBinder profile.
The Cosmos is an integral part of the life of any Star Champion, suffusing their body, mind, and soul. For some, this power is inherited from a bloodline that carries the cosmic spark of a powerful being. Others manifest their power randomly, having it burst forth in unexpected ways. The appearance of power is unpredictable, some bloodlines producing a Star Champion once a generation, and in others, each descendant has cosmic potential.
Whatever their origins, Star Champions have to learn how to control their abilities and have to hone their bodies to withstand the energies that they deal with. They draw the power from entities far beyond the stars, and they can harness their power to produce overwhelming feats.
Creating a Star Champion
When you are creating your Star Champion, consider these two specific elements: the origin of the spark that has given them their powers and how it has manifested, and how they intend to use this Cosmic brilliance. Have you accepted this power, or do you resent it for the expectations it has laid upon you?
Star Champion are known for their martial prowess, but that doesn't always come naturally. You might've enjoyed years of formal training in an army or militia, or perhaps you studied under the tutelage of a mentor keen on sharpening the skills you had at a young age.
After adventuring for some time, all Star Champion receive the blessings of a Star. Is the spark within you a festering curse that will only make you more ruthless as time passes, or is it a blessing that allows them to execute those aligned with forces that would watch the world burn? You may possibly divine it as an instrument that has allowed you to do as you see fit.
Multiclassing and the Star Champion
If your group uses the optional multiclassing rule, here's what you need to know if you choose to take a level in the Star Champion class.
Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least a 13 in Strength or Dexterity and a 13 on Charisma to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a Star Champion.

Version Info
This is Version 1.1 Alpha of the The Star Champion class, created by SxRain
Art Credits to Their Respective Creators
More of my homebrew can be found on my GMBinder profile.
When you are creating your Star Champion, consider these two specific elements: the origin of the spark that has given them their powers and how it has manifested, and how they intend to use this Cosmic brilliance. Have you accepted this power, or do you resent it for the expectations it has laid upon you?
Star Champion are known for their martial prowess, but that doesn't always come naturally. You might've enjoyed years of formal training in an army or militia, or perhaps you studied under the tutelage of a mentor keen on sharpening the skills you had at a young age.
After adventuring for some time, all Star Champion receive the blessings of a Star. Is the spark within you a festering curse that will only make you more ruthless as time passes, or is it a blessing that allows them to execute those aligned with forces that would watch the world burn? You may possibly divine it as an instrument that has allowed you to do as you see fit.

A creature targeted by this technique must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must use its action on each of its turns to attack a creature other than itself that you mentally choose. At the end of each of the creature's turns before the effect ends, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 2d8 psychic damage and be frightened of you until the effect ends.

Heaven Wounding Heartless Sword
17th level Canis Major's Constellation
'Earth grieves heavens wounded, solely hatred without heart'
You detonate all your remaining stars but one to designate a target to become the subject of all of yours and the Heavenly Wolf's hatred. The area within a 30-foot radius around you turns blood red and fills with astral chains, Creatures Hostile to you cannot leave this radius by any means unless they end out of the area as a result of your movement, as this Zone travels with you. You also ignore the resistances and immunities of the target of your hatred, and When you attack it with the Heavenly Wolf Sword you have a bonus to hit equal to your charisma modifier.
You can only attack that target and must use your action to attack it no matter what.
At initiative count 20, you must succeed at a Wisdom saving throw against your own Asterism DC or make a single attack to the nearest creature to you without holding anything back.
This state ends after your hatred's target dies or you forcefully stop it using an action. After the effect ends you are afflicted with short-term madness, and you roll in the table a number of times equal to half the amount of rounds spent in this state.
You need to be in your Heavenly Wolf Hell God state in order to activate this asterism. If you choose to use this technique while not in your Heavenly Wolf Hell God state, you will need to concentrate on it as if you were concentrating on a spell. If you use it this way, the state only lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose concentration. Additionally, at the end of your turn, you lose 1/10th of your hit points.

That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Heavenly Wolf can take any action of its choice, not just dodge. If the Heavenly Wolf dies you can't summon it again until you finish a short or long rest.
When you Summon the Heavenly Wolf, it comes with its sword in the mouth, You are proficient with it while you wield it, on a hit it deals 1d8 of either Slashing, Bludgeoning or Radiant damage (your choice) and has the Versatile, and Heavy (Only when Two-Handed) properties. When you attack with this weapon its damage die changes depending on the stage of your Star Ring and if you are wielding this weapon one or two-handed. If you drop the weapon, it dissipates at the end of the turn, unless the Heavenly Wolf picks it up in its mouth.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You can choose to summon only the sword or only the wolf, but it will still count as a full use.

On a failed save, the creature must use its action on each of its turns to attack a creature other than itself that you mentally choose. At the end of each of the creature's turns before the effect ends, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 2d8 psychic damage and be frightened of you until the effect ends. On a successful save, the effect ends.
Heaven Wounding Heartless Sword
17th level Canis Major's Constellation
'Earth grieves heavens wounded, solely hatred without heart'
You detonate all your remaining stars but one to designate a target to become the subject of all of yours and the Heavenly Wolf's hatred. The area within a 30-foot radius around you turns blood red and fills with astral chains, Creatures Hostile to you cannot leave this radius by any means unless they end out of the area as a result of your movement, as this Zone travels with you. You also ignore the resistances and immunities of the target of your hatred, and When you attack it with the Heavenly Wolf Sword you have a bonus to hit equal to your charisma modifier.
You can only attack that target and must use your action to attack it no matter what.
At initiative count 20, you must succeed at a Wisdom saving throw against your own Asterism DC or make a single attack to the nearest creature to you without holding anything back.
This state ends after your hatred's target dies or you forcefully stop it using an action. After the effect ends you are afflicted with short-term madness, and you roll in the table a number of times equal to half the amount of rounds spent in this state.
You need to be in your Heavenly Wolf Hell God state in order to activate this asterism. If you choose to use this technique while not in your Heavenly Wolf Hell God state, you will need to concentrate on it as if you were concentrating on a spell. If you use it this way, the state only lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose concentration. Additionally, at the end of your turn, you lose 1/10th of your hit points.
