Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Rightful King
Starting from 1st level, you can inspire others with your grace and charisma. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one ally within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Rightful King die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the ally can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The ally can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Rightful King die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Rightful King die is rolled, it is lost. You may use one of these dice on yourself as a bonus action, but only once per round. An ally can have only one Rightful King die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Rightful King die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.
Divine Dragon Weapon
You are able to construct an unbreakable bond between yourself and a weapon, a process that creates a blessed weapon truly and wholly unique to yourself. This bonded weapon now adds the user's charisma modifier to damage and attack alongside any other regular modifiers and doubles it's damage against Dragons. This weapon, if broken or lost, can be restored or returned through a magic ceremony that can be done over a long rest.
Charm
At Second level and beyond, all allies within 10 feet of user add a bonus to their attack rolls and saving throws (that the user is proficient in) equal to half your charisma modifier (rounded down). At 10th level this skill's range extends to 15 feet and grants you proficiency in Persuasion, or expertise, if you already have it.
Spellcasting
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical forces of leadership, and through arcane efforts, you may now heal your allies as you lead them. Spell Slots The Lodestar table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Cure Wounds using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the cleric spell list. The Spells Known column of the Cleric table shows when you learn more cleric spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the cleric spells you know and replace it with another spell from the cleric spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spellcasting Ability.
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Lodestar spells since your magic draws on your leadership prowess. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
