Celestial Spirit User[edit]

The gods of the stars and night sty long ago blessed us with the constellations and the spirits who reflect those constellations. This class is based off the concepts of the Celestial Spirit users from the anime Fairy Tail and thus uses celestial keys and summoning mechanics. The class uses Silver, Gold, and Platinum keys. These keys are based off of a creature’s Challenge Rating (CR) with Silver ranging from 0-5, Gold ranging from 6-15, and Platinum ranging from 16-20+. Platinum keys are the basic idea that there’s something beyond the standard gold keys that you see in the anime, and that gold keys come at a much greater variety while still keeping their one of a kind rarity. For DMs, the type of keys that exist can always be changed and swapped, for example you can simply change the range of the CR and make it so Platinum keys don’t exist.

What it means to be a Celestial Spirit User[edit]

To be a Celestial Spirit User is seen by some as a blessing by the gods while others see it as a stroke of good luck. In theory, anyone can be a Celestial Spirit User from the humblest of nobles to the most conniving street rat. They all come from different walks of life, but the question you must ask is how they discovered who they are. Did you discover you were a Celestial Spirit User by inheriting a family member’s Celestial Spirit keys, or did you perhaps steal the keys from an unknowing mage?

A Note for the DM[edit]

Considering how this class uses creatures of varying CR, their does come the cost of approval by the DM. The idea of Celestial Spirits is that they all have different abilities and appearances. For the brave Dungeon Master, homebrewing your own Celestial Spirits to give to your players can result in a large amount of creative fun, but it's clear how to others this may appear as a daunting task. Thankfully, due to the mechanics of celestial keys going off of CR, a DM can easily take a pre existing creature from the monster manual, alter some of its features or add some new features, and reskin it into a Celestial Spirit. Adding an extra attack to a reskinned city guard or giving the spell burning hands to a tiger is all you need to make the game fun and more interesting. These reskinned creatures don’t even have to be Celestials, but instead make them other creature types like giants, elementals, and even fiends. So have fun summoning spirits and reflavoring monsters.

Celestial Connection[edit]

You’ve discovered that you are a Celestial Spirit User, and that you are able to summon them with their respective keys. You gain the ability to summon Celestial Spirits that you have a connection with as well as use Celestial Keys. At the 1st level you may only summon and control one Celestial Spirit at a time.

You are able to control more spirits at later levels. Controlling two spirits at 7th, three at 14th.

Spellcasting and Mechanics[edit]

Celestial Spirit Users don’t cast spells, but instead concentrate their magical energy into summoning Celestial Spirits through their respective keys. Celestial Spirits each come with various abilities and prerequisites that a Celestial Spirit User must take note of when Summoning a Celestial Spirit. When summoning a key you perform the motion of summoning while calling the spirits name while wielding their key. Summoning a Spirit requires at least one open hand to hold the Spirits specific key, and to summon them requires both verbal and somatic components; the only material component being to hold the spirits key.

If you gain spells through the use of either certain spirits then your spell modifier is Charisma.

A Celestial Spirit costs Celestial Points to summon out. The amount of Celestial Points used to summon a spirit is equal to their CR x 2. For example, keys that are a CR of 0 don’t cost any points at all making them the equivalent to something on the lines of a Pet, Cantrip, or Familiar. Creatures that have a CR below one, but isn’t a CR 0 cost 1 point to summon. At 1st level, you have a total of 4 Celestial Points, with this you can summon up to two CR 1 monsters or one CR 2. You regain all expended Celestial Points at the end of a long rest.

Celestial Spirits, when summoned, act on their own initiative and take their own actions. Although the nature of some spirits may vary, most will act friendly toward the summoner and his companions and will obey commands given to it. If no commands are given it will defend either itself, the Summoner, or does something independent according to the spirit until another command is given.

CR 0 Celestial Spirits go under a few different rules. First off, CR 0 keys only require a short rest to be able to summon again, in comparison to other spirits. Secondly, each CR 0 key is innately able to cast one cantrip, using your charisma modifier as its spellcasting ability. You can use your action to command a CR 0 spirit within 60 ft., of you to cast the spell. Otherwise it uses its action to dash, disengage, or dodge.

A Celestial spirit also goes off of the summoner’s proficiency bonus rather than the proficiency bonus they would normally use according to their CR.


Finding More Keys

Unlike most wizards and spellcasters, your power comes from specific items known as Celestial Keys; with keys ranging from Silver, Gold, and Platinum. To expand your arsenal, you must first find these various keys out in the world during your adventure at the DM’s discretion. There’s no limit to the amount of keys you can carry, or contracts you can make with your Celestial Spirits. NOTE: work with your DM to make sure that keys will be implemented at appropriate times, remember that these keys come at varying rarities with rarer being more expensive; this makes for an excellent quest reward. Also note that depending on the key that all spirits have different stats and abilities.

Keys by CR and Rarity[edit]

Silverkeys
  • CR 0-½ = Common; >100gp
  • CR 1-3 = Uncommon; 101-500gp
  • CR 4-5 = Rare; 501-1,000gp
Gold Keys
  • CR 6-10 = Rare; 1,001-5,000gp
  • CR 11-15 = Very Rare; 5,001-50,000gp
Platinum Keys
  • CR 16-20 = Legendary; 50,001-100,000gp
  • CR 20+ = Artifact; 100,001+gp

Celestial Weapon[edit]

At 6th level, once per long rest, you can touch one weapon and make it magical if it wasn’t already until your next long rest. If the weapon is already magical you can cause the weapon to deal radiant damage instead. If the magical weapon does added damage the radiant damage only applies to the weapons normal bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing.

VARIANT RULE
You have grown in relation to your Celestial Spirits to the point where they give you a blessing from the spirit world in the form of a magical upgraded weapon. You gain an Uncommon magic weapon of the DM’s choice. NOTE: this is a unique weapon with magical properties, make it special; even if it's just a +1 Longsword you can still give it a nice flavor text and design. At the DM’s discretion, the DM may also upgrade the weapon again at varying times appropriate to the story.

At 17th level, the extra cost is reduced down to an extra an extra ½ the cost instead of double. Example, CR 6 would cost 12 Celestial Points normally, 13th level armor would cost 24 Celestial Points, but 17th level armor would only cost 18 Celestial Points.

Celestial Intervention[edit]

By sacrificing and breaking a Celestial Spirit Key with a CR of 10 or higher you can summon the God of Stars and Celestial Spirits himself to fight by your side and demolish your foes. He will fight by your side for the remainder of the fight when all foes are either killed or subdued. Although he/she unleashing their true power can cause devastation, they take the form of an acolyte of any size with all their ability scores being 30 and can perform certain actions similar to a cleric's Divine Intervention. The acolyte has an AC of 25, 500 hit points, is immune to all status conditions, and immune to all effects that would de-summon or banish the acolyte. It automatically succeeds all saving throws and is able to cast the Wish spell at will applying only its spell duplication. The abilities the acolyte is capable of varies at the DM’s discretion, but once this ability is used it cannot be used again for one month.

Celestial Key Master[edit]

You have a closer bond with the innate energy coming from the keys themselves and the spirits inside them compared to most.

You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
