Starseer Domain (5e Subclass)
Starseer[edit]
Cleric Subclass
Surrounded by a group of goblins, a starseer in white robes looks up at the black night sky. She peers into the depths of space and into the light of the stars, while the goblins look at her cautiously. By the time they decide to run in and attack, it is too late. In instant the seer breaks her line of sight with the stars, filled to the brim with astral power. With a flick of her hand, light falls down from the stars and onto the goblins, obliterating all of them in a bright flash of light. This individual is a starseer named Steorra, and she has dedicated her entire life to watching and maintaining the overflowing power of the cosmos.
Starseers are beings that channel the power of the cosmos to perform stunning feats of magic. They stare deeply into space and bend astral objects to see the future and replicate powers. Some are chosen guardians that watch over the cosmos at their discretion. Others are scholars that stare into space with a never ending curiosity; trying desperately to see what's beyond our view in space. Some are fortune tellers hired by kings and nobles to see the future, while others are mischievous astral walkers that bend space to their will. Starseers have the mark of Dhehin on their eyes, which allow them to see past the atmosphere and into the deep reaches of space. Starseers are born with this mark, and given practice and time, a person with this mark can train their eyes to see deeper into space and become a starseer. They are not limited to divination or spell casting however, as their excellent eyesight make them good snipers and scholars.
As you create a starseer, think about their motivation for watching the cosmos. Looking into space is mentally draining and time consuming, so your character must have a strong resolve and motivation to become a starseer, especially since it takes so much practice. A starseer without the motivation or resolve to look into space is often deemed to a normal life without magic. You should also keep in mind that a starseer can be a wide variety of things, from a basic spellcasting scholar to a hunting starbound navigator.
