Midnight Sentinel (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Midnight Sentinel[edit]
Fighter Subclass
Long ago, an order of nomadic warriors discovered a new way of channeling druidic power. This group of warriors called upon the energy harnessed in the stars, bolstering their weapons and armor. This tradition has been passed down through the years and has expanded from a niche nomadic tradition into a full-fledged fighting style. Many people study in the ways of the Midnight Sentinel, training their mind and blade to fight with the viciousness of a thousand burning stars.
