Black Speech
At 1st level, once per every short rest, as an action, you target
one creature who is 10ft. of you, and can hear you, that
creature takes 1d4 points of psychic damage. Alternatively,
you can decide to instead have every creature with 20ft. of you
and who can hear you take 1d4 points of damage. Creatures
that are deaf are immune to this ability.
At 6th level this becomes the Enhanced Black Speech
feature. You gain an additional usage of your Black speech
Feature per short rest, as well as an additional d4. At 10th
level, you gain one additional usage per short rest, and your
d4s become d6s, and you may use this feature as your
reaction instead of your action. At 18th level your d6s become
d8s, and you gain a third d8, the range increases to 30ft., you
may use it as your reaction or bonus action instead of using
your action.
You also become able to read, write, and speak
Undercommon and Deepspeech at first level
Unnatural casting
At 1st level you can cast Prestidigitation and Thaumaturgy
cantrips at will. When doing so, you choose to use either
Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom. Depending on the
modifier used, different additional effects happen.
Wisdom v. Charisma: If turned the creature must move as
far away from you as possible, up to its movement speed,
while also being able to dash, or simply use the dodge action if
there’s nowhere to move. If frightened, the creature is unable
to attack or move in your direction for one minute.
Regardless, the creature can’t take reactions.
Intelligence v. Wisdom: If turned, the creature moves in
any direction using any means available to it. It cannot
willingly move into 30ft of your position for 1 minute. If
frightened, the creature is unable to move or take actions for 2
of its turns. Regardless, any creature affected cannot attack
you in any way during the turn it is affected by this feature.
Charisma v. Intelligence: If turned, the creature must use
any and all means available to it to move away from you, for 1
round. If frightened, the creature randomly moves away from
you in any direction regardless of terrain or dangers.
Regardless, if the saving throw was a critical failure, the
creature will attack any other creature in its immediate path.
You may only use this feature once per long rest, you may
not decide what creatures are affected by this feature, and any
creature affected by this feature gains immunity to it until
your second long rest after the use of this feature. Additionally,
if attempting to frighten a creature, it has advantage on the
saving throw. Additionally, if a Cleric or Paladin were to use
one of their turn features, you become a valid target for it, and
must make a Wisdom save to avoid being turned. Upon a
failure, you are turned and affected by the listed effects of
being under the condition. You are considered vulnerable to
being turned. You may choose which saving throw v. skill
check option to use.

considered friendly to it, dropping whatever it is holding, or
self-harm. However, after the end of the 1 turn it has an open

you. Additionally, it takes 2 d6 points of psychic damage.
You may only use this feature once per long rest. You may
choose which saving throw v. skill check option used.
Tainted body
At 14th level you are immune to being poisoned, and to
disease, you also may have one additional point of fatigue
before death. You have resistance to spells of 4th level or
lower, and the effects of healing spells of 4th level or lower are
halved. Additionally, if you were to drop to 0 hit points, you
drop to 1 instead.
Aberrant Blood
At 18th you have immunity to psychic damage except when it
is caused by a feature from one of your Eldritch Emergences,
as well as resistance to radiant and necrotic damage. You are
completely unaffected by spells of 3rd level or lower, and have
resistance to spells of 4th level to 6th level, with the effects of
spells of 4th to 6th level being halved, including effects that
grant temporary hit points and healing. You are completely
unaffected by illusions.
Eldritch Emergences
All of the Star touched eventually reach a point where their
powers mutate suddenly, or gain control over the chaotic
energies infecting thier bodies. This point is reached at 3rd,
where the Star Touched's choices manifest in a chosen
emrgence.

The Occultist
ccultists are the oldest of the Star touched. Not necessarily in
age, but rather for how long they have existed. They are
incredibly similar to both Clerics and Warlocks, so much so
that they could be considered a combination of the two. They
worship the Great Old Ones, yet have bound themselves to the
one they have made contact with, causing a strange gift of
willing gained magic. They are truly connected to the Great
Old Ones, as opposed to simply using their knowledge to
siphon power off of their “gods”.
As occultists have a connection that is far deeper than that
of a pact, they have gained abilities greater than that of a pact,
but are not truly cared for despite their worship. They are
often not the most lawful or stable of individuals, nor are they
most moral. It is next to impossible to find a truly heroic
occultist, as most are simply too far gone for them to even
comprehend being so. At best, they will be completely self-
centered, but not actively malicious, though even these case
are rare. After all, worshipping beings alternatively called the
“Elder evils” leaves little to ponder about.
Eldritch Blasphemies
Your deep bond to the Great Old Ones has given you a unique
ability to use spells.
The Eldritch Blasphemies feature does not count as

The Spellcasting or Pact Magic features, it is
different, menaing you simply add the features of it
if you have either the Spell casting feature, Pact
Magic feature, or both.
Cantrips
When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level you
gain the minor illusion and one additional cantrip of your
choice from the Occultist spell list. You learn additional
Occultist cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in
the Eldritch Blasphemy list.
Spell Slots
The Occultist table shows how many spell slots you have. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your
spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Occultist
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long
rest. Alternatively you may decide to take 1d4 psychic damage
to cast a spell of 3rd level or lower, with an additional d4 being
added for every level above 4th to a maximum of 4. This
damage cannot be mitigated in any way.
You prepare the list of occultist spells that are available for
you to cast, choosing from the occultist spell list. When you do
so, choose a number of occultists spells equal to your
Intelligence modifier + your occultist level (minimum of one
spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell
slots.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish
a short or long rest. Preparing a new list of Occultist spells
requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

advantages of resting from the period of time spent
constructing the Grimoire. You start off with a Grimoire when
you choose the Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, representing
how you have already taken the measures necessary for such
a time.
Spells Known
Like any ofthe faithful, you know all of the spells on the
Occultist spell list, however, you have the ability to learn spells
outside of your spell list. To do so, you must first encounter
the spell, and then spend at least an hour studying the spell
before copying it down into your Grimoire. Alternatively, if you
find a Wizard’s spell book, or a Warlock's Book of Shadows,
you may copy the spells written within them inside of your
Grimoir, but you must spend two hours and spend 1000gp for
the required rare inks and materials to do so. Alternatively,
you may spend only a half hour if you are tutored by an
individual who already knows the spell. Finally, depending on
what class the spell you learned from was, you must use that
class’s spell casting modifier: Charisma for bard, sorcerer, or
warlock; Wisdom for cleric or druid: or Intelligence for wizard.
The spells still count as Eldritch Blasphemies for you, and
the extra effects each modifier gives still apply.
Spell casting ability
Unlike other classes, you decide to freely switch between
using Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for your spellcasting
modifier. The power of your spells come from your connection
to the Great Old Ones, as opposed to your knowledge which
comes from your devotion to them. You choose any of the
ability modifiers when a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. Depending on the modifier used for when casting a
spell, different effects are added to the spell.

Feast for the Old Gods
Once per day you may bring an avatar of the Great Old Ones
into your plane of existence via a ritual, The ritual 12 hours of
uninterrupted chanting within a magical circle drawn in the
blood of a freshly killed sentient humanoid, desecrated relics
worth 25,000,000 gp, a dried octopus, the eyes of a fish, a pile
of fine leather worth 5,000 gp, a vial of your blood and the
death of either a trusted friend or a young innocent. The
Ritual consumes the given materials, with the sacrifice having
its soul consumed by the Avatar. The Avatar uses the same
state block as a Kraken but with the following changes:
Its creature type changes to Gargantuan Aberration
It is able to use Eldritch Blasphemies and can innately cast
any Illusion on the occultist spell list, Dissonant Whispers,
Arms of Hadar, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, Crown of
Madness, Hunger of Hadar, and Psychic Scream. It may
use its Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma modifier as its
casting modifier and shares the same extra effects that you
get when using each one, this also replaces the Kraken’s
innate casting feature
It has a flying speed equal to its swimming speed
It has an aura that reduces any bright light in a 30-foot
radius around it to dim light. Creatures within 10 feet of it
must each succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + its
proficiency bonus +its Charisma modifier) or become
frightened of it until the end of your next turn. Whenever
an enemy that is frightened by it starts its turn in the aura,
it takes 4d10 psychic damage.
The Avatar is considered neutral to you, and unfriendly to
your allies, but it will avoid attacking you-it may even attempt
to protect you to prolong it’s stay- if possible unless sufficiently
provoked, nor will it actively attack any allies of yours unless it
is threatened, or feels threatened in any way. It is actively
hostile towards anything else. Its actions are completely
controlled by the DM as you have absolutely no control over it.
Anything killed by the Avatar has its soul consumed and
cannot be revived by anything sort of a Wish. If the ritual is
interrupted, you lose half of your hit points and take an
additional 2d8 psychic psychic damage. The Avatar stays on
your plane of existence for 1 hour.
The appearance of the Avatar is completely

dependent on the player and/or the DM. Is it a mass
of ooze with ever shifting and growing limbs,
extremities, and organs that are reabsorbed just as
quickly as they appear, does it look like one of the
Eldrazi or maybe it looks like a more traditional Old
One from the Lovecraft mythos, it could even look
like one of the Great ones from BloodBorne. It is
highly suggested, however, that the avatar share
some kind of immediate similarity to the Great Old
One that you had been in contact with.

The Mad Speaker
Pitiful beings, those who speak madness itself are invariably
mad themselves. There is no hope for light in these soulless
husks. They seemingly have only one purpose in life, and that
is to spread the madness within themselves to others. There
is no hope for these individuals, it would be a mercy to put
them down.
Mad Speakers are in no way heroic in any sense. The best
one could hope for when dealing with one is that they follow
some kind of semblance of a code. However, this is incredibly
rare, and most are firmly chaotic evil. Their insanity is actively
malicious, and their views on camaraderie are nonsensical at
best. More like rabid dogs than actual, thinking, humanoids,
they are surprisingly hard to put down.
Untold Depths of Madness
When you choose this Eldritch emergence at 3rd level you
must pick an 2 additional symptom of insanity found within
the DM’s guide book.
It is imperative that one speaks with their DM about

playing this sub-class, due to its volatile nature, and
the fact that you are even more insane than you

An unknowable mind
When you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level, the
damage to your mind is so great it is truly a wonder as to why
you are not dead. If a creature were to attempt to enter your
thoughts unwillingly it would suffer 1d4 psychic damage,
though it may still succesfully enter it. Additionally, you have
resistance to being charmed and you can not be forced to
dream, but you can still be forced to sleep.

by them.

Storm
At 20th Level, once per day, you may enter into the death
chaint. While in the death chaint, all living things within 60ft

of CR 5 or higher, as well as level 3 or higher are immune to

you, forcing its affects on you and killing you outright and

The Cosmic Scholar
Individuals that have choosen a very different path when
compared to most others, they have taken to their experience
in an odd way. Driven to learn all they can about the beings
they had come into contact with, they fail to see the possibility
of delving deeper into insanity.
Cosmic Scholars are not necessarily evil, but are rather
obsessed with finding out how such beings like the Great Old
Ones could exist, and why they have not become the rulers of
everything yet. Their madness compels them to search for
forbidden pieces of information in any area, to the point that
they don’t seem to actually care what happens to them in the
search for such knowledge. Their reasons for this varies as
well, perhaps they are trying to keep the Elder Evils out of the
material plane, perhaps they are trying to ascend into being a
new being, learn the secrets of the universe, gain control every
the spawn of the beings, or maybe they are simple being
manipulated into seeking out these secrets without their
knowledge, regardless of the cost.

The Serene Wanderer
An oddity when it comes to those who have had such an
intimate contact with the Aberrant gods, Serene Wanderers
have been strengthened by their experience. Their minds have
gradually healed, unlike most others, and have even expanded
outward with their psionic abilities.
Serene Wanderers are one of the few Star Touched that
have the capacity to truly be good. Heroic wanderers are not
that uncommon, and most indeed end up there simply due to
their unique experiences and the process that allowed them to
heal in the first place. As a consequence of this unique mind
set, they are determined to heal as many others as possible, or
put down those who are simply too far gone. However, there
are a few cases of Serene Wanderers deciding to withdraw
from the world, not caring what happens either way, and even
fewer who believe that their healing proves that they are
superior to all others, leading them down a path of neutrality,
or villainy.
A healed mind
Through long, and arduous self-reflection, restraint, and
maybe even companionship, your mind has been able to
recover from the hardship that brought your powers to you.
Starting at 3rd level, you are no longer considered insane, nor
suffer from any symptoms of insanity.

The Insane Maker
Individuals who have been instilled with a desire to overcome
their limitations as mortals due to their contact with the Great
Old Ones, these Star Touched commit numerous atrocities for
this goal. They consider even their awakened minds weak, and
the cycle of life and death inherently flawed.
These individuals follow the same chaos and death filled
path that most of their ilk walk, but they are notable for having
a strange sense of morality that governs their actions. They
truly believe that their actions will lead them to creating a
greater world, one free of all of the issues the one they
currently live in has. However, there are others who wish to
attain this sought after ascension only for themselves,
whereas still others who simply wish to attain the ability to
ascend, with no other goals beyond that.
Bonus proficiencies
When you choose this Eldritch emergence at 3rd level, you
gain proficiency in Alchemist’s supplies, Herbalism kit, smith’s
tools, and Crafting magical items.
You have the ability to craft unique magical items, and when
doing so, it takes a quarter of the time and cost. If using the
DMGs rule set for crafting magical items, these items can be
crafted even though you do not have spell slots, but the cost is
doubled instead of being quartered.
Alchemical Homunculus
At 3rd level, you learn ancient methods for magically creating
a special homunculus that is formed by alchemical
substances.
Whenever you finish a long rest and your alchemist’s
supplies are with you, you can form this homunculus in an
unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. If you already have a
homunculus from this feature, the first one immediately dies.
The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions,
and it obeys your commands. See this creature’s game
statistics in the Alchemical Homunculus stat block. You
determine the homunculus’s appearance, which includes
wings and bits of alchemical equipment. Some alchemists
prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas others like winged
vials or miniature cauldrons.
In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but
it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it
takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus
action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in
its stat block or to take the Dash, Disengage, or Help action.
If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If
it dies, you must create a new homunculus.

Blasphemous Innovation
t 16th level you learn to create even more complicated flesh
golems. You may create a flesh golem using beasts instead of
Humanoids. When doing so, you take the beast out of these
options: an ape, a black bear, a boar, a giant badger, a giant
weasel, a mule, a panther, or a wolf. If you create a flesh golem
out of one of these animals, you use its stat block with the
following changes;
Its creature type changes to construct.
It gains the aversion to Fire trait.
It gains the Lightning absorption trait.
It gains the Magic Weapons trait.
You have also learned ways to create horrific
amalgamations by combining the techniques to create a flesh
golem and your Superior Revival Formula. When doing so,
you may now combine Beast, Humanoid, and even metal to
create these amalgamations. The Horrific Amalgamation uses
the Flesh Golem stat block with the following changes;
It loses the Berserk Trait.
It Loses the Aversion to Fire Trait.
Its creature type changes to Aberration and undead,
causing it to be affected by effects that specify either of the

It becomes vulnerable to being turned.

Supreme Revival Formula
After years of continuous study, and numerous atrocities, you
have finally perfected the Revival formula. At 20th you are also
now able to create 5 Original Formula vials, 3 Greater
Formula Vials, and 2 Supreme Formula vials whenever you go
about brewing them. IN order to create the SUpreme Revival
formula, you must first create a Supreme Healing Potion, then
you must a Superior Revival Formula vial into it, and go about
an additional ritual where you take an additional 2d4 psychic
damage,and 2d6 necrotic damage at the end of it. The entire
process takes 2 hours to complete. Upon completion, you
must inject it into a corpse within 1 hour or it expires. Upon
injection the corpse immediately revives just as it was in life
with the following changes;
Its creature type changes to Undead.
It gains the Undead Fortitude trait.
It gains the Undead Nature trait.
It has a permanent -3 modifier to its Intelligence, Wisdom,
and Charisma ability checks, and saves.
The creature no longer ages
Additionally, you may decide to intentionally die by the
psychic damage inflicted onto you by the Fully Constructed
Resonator at full activation. If you do, and you die while still in
the Resonator’s area of effect by the psychic damage from it
on its fully activated setting, and you have the Supreme
Revival Formula injected into you, you are revived but gain the
following changes;
Your creature type changes to Aberration and undead,
causing you to be affected by effects that specify either of
the two types.
You gain the Undead Fortitude trait.
You gain the Undead Nature trait.
You gain a +3 to your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
ability checks and saving throws.
You no longer age.
You have disadvantage on saving throws forced on you by
spells casted from Paladins and Clerics.
The same effects apply to any creature that would go
through the same process you would. The resonator ceases to
give the bonuses it normally would, it no long spawns any
creatures, and no longer causes psychic damage to you. If the
Resonator would be destroyed, you are banished from the
matirel plane until it is repaired.

The Guardian of the Gate
Masters in manipulating the weave through their aberrant
abilities, these Star Touched have mostly eliminated the
downfalls of learning to expand their natural aptitude for
spellcasting. This however limited them even further than they
already would be, so they make up for it through martial
prowess, but also allowed them to heal.
Guardians are one of the few Star Touched that can be of
good alignment, what’s more, most become lawful in nature
simply due to their strict adherence to order. As a
consequence, they are often put in direct opposition to their
less benign and orderly “brothers”. However, there are indeed
a few, hunted by other Guardians, that have shirked their
responsibilities and rejoined the vast majority of their
“brothers”.
Bonus Proficiencies
gain proficiency in martial weapons that do not have the heavy
property, one instrument of your choice, Performance and
Athletics or Acrobatics. If you are already proficient in
Performance, then you may gain proficiency in one tool set
instead. When using a martial weapon you are proficient with,
you may instead use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma
modifier (whichever is highest at anypoint of time) when
rolling to hit or for damage, in place of your strength or
dexterity modifier.
A healed mind
Through long, and arduous self-reflection, restraint, and
maybe even companionship, your mind has been able to
recover from the hardship that brought your powers to you.
Starting at 3rd level, you are no longer considered insane, nor
suffer from any symptoms of insanity.
Enhanced Unnatural Spellcasting
Your training in mind and body has increased your innate
magical abilities. When you choose this eldritch emergence at
3rd level you gain additional spells that you are able to cast
innately;
Bane, Expeditious Retreat, Shield, Armor of Agathys, and
Zephyr Strike at 3rd level, Misty Step, Blur, Gaseous Form,
and Haste at 6th, Banishment, and Teleportation Circle at
12th, and finally Teleport at 16th.
You may cast any spells of 3rd level or below a number of
times equal to ½ your Intelligence modifier (minimum of
once), and all above 3rd level once per long rest, except for
Teleport, which is once per day. Whenever you cast any of
these spells, you may use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or
Charisma modifier, with each casting modifier granting
additional effects;
Intelligence: You may take the attack action as well
Wisdom: You can delay the spell’s effect for 1 turn
Charisma: You do not need to perform verbal or somatic
components for the spell.

You have a small magical item crafted through the arduous

powers. It looks somewhat like a heavily twisted and warped
key, which can be hung around your neck or wrapped around
your wrist by using a piece of string. You use this when casting
any spells gained in this class, otherwise you lose the ability to

You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects,
such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell.
When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to
make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage,
you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving
throw, and only half damage if you fail.
You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
You have resistance to non magical bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing damage.
Finally, you can open a portal directly to the Astral plane by

pulled in, and the save is contested by your spell save DC.
What happens to the Creatures pulled in is up to the DM’s
discretion. You may only use this once while using this
feature.

The Black Summoner
Individuals that reject the notion of serving under any others,
and instead decide to ensure their freedom by enslaving,
dominating, or manipulating others, these Star Touched may
walk a path that is similar to most others, but it certainly has
its differences.
Most Star Touched that become Black Summoners are
completely neutral to matters of morality, instead using any
means they have to secure their own independence above all
else, often causing them to be fickle, lone wolves, and deal
breakers. A few take this desire into the extremes and grow to
love having power over others, enslaving as many other beings
to their will as they can. This means that all Black
Summoners are chaotic. This may lead to petty actions, such
as doing minor crimes simply as a form of rebellion, and may
include malicious compliance in cases where they are being
forced to create chaos, as it is not to their will.
Bonus Proficiencies
You become proficient in any weapons that have either the
ranged property, or the thrown property. You also become
proficient in Animal Handling, the Herbalism kit, and Healer’s
Kit.
Martiel Weakness

Expanded Unnatural Spellcasting
At 3rd level, your training in your unique abilities has
expanded the spells you can innately cast. You gain the
following spells at the following levels;
Friends at 3rd level, Animal Friendship, Unseen Servant,
Charm Person, and Command at 6th level, Crown of
Madness, Tiny Servant, Enthrall, and Suggestion at 12th level,
Compulsion, Dominate Beast, Charm Monster, Dominate
Person, Geas, and finally Mass Suggestion at 16th level.
You can only innately cast each spell once per day, but you
may use your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier
when casting, which gives extra effects;
Intelligence: If the creature targeted becomes charmed,
they are also considered incapacitated, Unseen and Tiny
Servent have thier duration doubled.
Wisdom: If the creature targeted is charmed, it becomes
willing to harm itself or its companions once, but then the
effect immediately ends, unless the spell casted already allows
those options, in which case the creature will take one more
command after the spell ends or if it succeeds on ending it
itself. Unseen and Tiny Servent have the creature they spawn
gain 1 additional hit point.
Charisma: The charmed creature has disadvantage on all
of its saves to end the charmed effect, or you only need to use
a bonus action to maintain control over the creature. The
Unseen Servant spell has the creature spawned by it gain a +5
to its AC, and you can spawn two of the creatures spawned by
Tiny Servent.
These affects and the restrictions of this feature apply to the
cantrip Friends.

Black Release
The runes in your Ceremonial dagger have finally settled,
allowing their energies to permeate the blade. Starting at 6th
level, whenever you hit a creature with your Ceremonial
Dagger, you deal an additional 1d4 psychic damage. You do
not subtract from the psychic damage, only the slashing
damage.
Eldritch Binding

Supreme Summons
At 20th level, you have gained the ability to summon the
apexes of the aberrations, albeit with limited control. You can
now summon Death Slaadi, Elder Brains, Beholders and
Aboleths. In order to do so you must sacrifice a large creature,
a large heart, and take 2d10 slashing damage, which cannot
be mitigated in any way. You can only control one of each, and
then only for an hour. If 1 hour passes and you have not
dismissed any of the summoned aberrations before then, they
are freed of your control and immediately become hostile
towards you and your allies. You are unable to give orders to
them while they are under your control, they DM controls any
if they are summoned, and they are considered friendly to you
and your allies until the end of the hour you had summoned
them.
Additionally, you can summon 1 Neothelid once per day
without sacrificing, and cannot summon it in any other way. It
is treated as if you had summoned by sacrificing an aberration
creature to it, and it is considered friendly to you and your
allies, but does not follow your orders, nor is it inclined to help
unless forced to. It will act just as it normally would, until 1
hour passes, afterwards the Neothelid dies, and its body
contracts in on itself back to its point of origin.
If using a sourcebook that adds aberrations that are CR 14
or higher, you can summon them using this feature. They are
treated in the same manner that Beholders, Aboleths, Elder
Brains, and Death Slaadi are treated when using this feature.
You cannot summon any Aberration that is of a CR higher
than 18 using this feature.

The Good Hunter
Unfortunate souls, bound to a life of blood shed, these Star
Touched have found alternative ways to sait their lust for
chaos and death. They often join churches, conclaves, or
guilds dedicated to the hunting and slaying of monsters. They
have a particular penchant for hunting down other Star
Touched, and aberrations, but they can also be seen hunting
monstrosities just as often.
Good Hunters earned their name by their habit of
obsessively hunting down Star Touched, aberrations, and
anything else that would serve their purposes or got in the
way. This obsessiveness comes from a desire not to end up
the way most other Star Touched do, yet they are unable to
see that they already have. As a consequence, Good Hunters
attempt to live up to their name, and may succeed in
managing to maintain a good alignment, but more often than
not, the desire for death and destruction wins out in the end,
and so they seek things other than their fellow man to hunt.
When playing a Good Hunter, it is important to be

affiliated with some kind of group. This Group must
be of a good inclined nature, regardless of where it
stands on chaos vs order scale. It could be a Ranger
Conclave, a Church that takes part in purging the
land of evil, or maybe your simply employed in a
guild of monster hunters, or perhaps something
else. Regardless, the Good Hunter must have some
kind of purpose given, or possibly taken, or else it
turns into a mindless killing machine.

Walking Workshop
You gain the ability to craft weapons, shields, and armor when

Firearms
In order to craft a firearm you must have all of your tools on
you, 75 gp worth of wood, and 25 gp worth of some type of

The Fanaticle Crusader
Driven with an unending drive, these Star Touched have taken
the trauma of their contact with the Great Old Ones and
turned it into a pedestal of strength. Very much like Guardians
of the Gate, and Good Hunters, they go around searching for
aberrations to cleanse. However, unlike their “brothers”, on
either side of the spectrum, they are true believers of the
saying “the ends justify the means”. Fanaticle Crusaders have
burned and destroyed entire villages on the mere suspicion
that there may be a cult worshiping one of, or all, of the Great
Old Ones, and that every one of the villagers are tainted by
their corruption. They cannot be fully blamed for this however,
as many of the Star Touched often use such guises for their
own ends, and only another Star Touched could hope to find
such things without days of investigation, they know their
own.
Fanaticle Crusaders reject the usage of their powers
completely, unable to stand the taint of them. This doesn’t
help with their insanity however, as only careful training in
controlling them would cure them, but it has given them the
ability to focus their strengths on physicality while also
ironically making their insanity worse. Fanatcile Crusaders
refuse to suffer aberrations, and those affiliated with them,
using any means necessary to stop the spread of their
influence. This includes outright evil actions, as any individual,
no matter status, condition, or age can be tortured, kidnapped,
or killed in an especially brutal way, such as being burnt alive.
The actual innocence of the target doesn’t matter, so long as
the taint of The Great Old Ones doesn’t spread. They can even
be seen taking their fight on guilds of Eye Tyrants, hunting
Aboleths, and raiding colonies of Mind Flayers. Slaying
servants, slaves, and followers alike in these cases, as three
innocent lives for every one tainted life is considered
acceptable. However, this fanaticism reaches deep down to
their souls, causing them to take suicidal actions to cleanse
even themselves from this world.
Trying to play this sub-class may prove diffficult for

some, and it is highly recomended that one avoids
doing so if there is a memeber of the party that has
an affiliation with something from the Lovecraft
mythos, like a Great Old One Warlock.

unable to approach the burnt corpse of the creature you killed

execution done to it, nor are they affected by the fear effect
and can freely pass over the burnt corpse.
This is an excessively cruel, brutal, and sadistic way to kill a
creature, and is considered as an evil action by others.
Dissociation of Mind and Body
At 16th level you can dissociate yourself from your body,
causing you to lose your fear of harm and death. On your turn,
you can dissociate yourself as a bonus action.
While dissociated, you gain the following benefits if you
aren't wearing medium or heavy armor:
You have advantage on Constitution saving throws
damage
You cannot be incapacitated except by magical means or
by falling to 0 hit points
If you were to drop to 0 hit points due to an attack or spell,
you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 5 + the
damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit
point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit
points by a critical hit.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or
concentrate on them while dissociated.
Your dissociation lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you
haven't used any of your Eldritch emergence features or if
your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature
since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also
end your dissociation on your turn as a bonus action.You may
dissociate a total of 5 times before you may do so again. If you
have dropped to 0 hit points while dissociated or leave your
dissociation with half or below your total hit points, you gain 3
levels of exhaustion and your walking speed is halved.
47
Fervor of the Fanatic
Your fervor for the destruction of the taint allows you to pull
impossible feats. Once per day, you may use your executions
without expending superiority die, and may kill any creature
that could be killed by said executions, of CR 9 or lower when
you successfully hit the creature, additionally, you get criticals
on 19s and 20s, for one hour.
You may also decide to take 4d10 additional damage to
increase the CR maximum by one to a maximum of four
times. You must take this damage every time you attack.
48
Manuvers
Disarming Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to
disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice
that it's holding. You add the superiority die to the attack's
damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving
throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The
object lands at its feet. Lunging Attack: When you make a
melee weapon attack on your turn, you can expend one
superiority die to increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet.
If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack's damage
roll.
Pushing Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to drive
the target back. You add the superiority die to the attack's
damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make
a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target
up to 15 feet away from you.
Sweeping Attack: When you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt
to damage another creature with the same attack. Choose
another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within
your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second
creature, it takes damage equal to the number you roll on your
superiority die. The damage is of the same type dealt by the
original attack.
Menacing Attack: When you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to
frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's
damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of
your next turn.
Executions
Off with his head: Caused by a weapon that deals slashing
damage. You brutally slash off a creature's head, killing it, and
causing you to gain advantage on your next attack.
Smashed to dust: Caused by a weapon that deals slashing
damage. You savagely smash portions of the creature's body,
forcing every creature that can see the event to make a save,
on a failure, they are given the frightened condition. Creatures
that can not see you are unaffected.
Stabbed through the heart: Caused by a weapon that
deals piercing damage. You cruelly run the creature through
the heart, before lifting it up and pulling your weapon free.
Any creature that attacks you has disadvantage next turn. A
kill shot: Caused by a ranged weapon. You fire your one shot
of your ammunition through the creature’s head, causing it
allies within 5ft. of it to be stunned. Creatures that can not see
you are unaffected.

Rapturous Prophet
Quite possibly the worst of the worst of the Star Touched,
these individuals are exactly what the Occultist had tried to
be, what Mad Speakers failed to be, holders of the knowledge
that Cosmic Scholars seek out so desperately, and what the
Guardian of the Gate, Good Hunter, and Fanaticle Crusader
try to purge from the prime material plane. Mad beyond
compare, they gleefully serve their “gods” in every manner
presented to them, with no cost to high, no action to
disdainful, they bring chaos for the sake of chaos.
Rapturous Prophets are often the leader of cults, and often
have a host of occultists serving under them, promising them
ascension in the same manner that they have achieved it,
whispered lies of the mad to the mad. Rapturous Prophets
have no higher beliefs, they see no point in life, thinking of it
as a mistake, and seeing undeath as nothing more than a
falsehood of life, they crave for death and destruction. They do
not care if their “gods” do not care for them, they do not care
what happens to their soul after death, they do not care about
the lives of other beings, they view the whole of creation as a
mistake. They greatest gift they could ask for is to be one with
one of their “gods”, be it as having their soul devoured, being
absorbed into their bodies, or joining them in eternal
servitude.
Nihilistic views and morality
Due to the extremity of your insanity, you are capable of doing
everything. You have no goals short of those given to you by
the Great Old Ones, and even then you know that they may
not actually care if said goals are ever accomplished, or what
the cost of said goals are. IF you had to give one goal for your
miserable life, it would be to allow the Great Old Ones the
power to do what they wish for the various planes of reality.
Everything and everyone, including yourself, is nothing more
than a tool, a meaningless tool at that, for this end.
You do not suffer any penalties that normal characters
would if you were to commit an act of great evil, besides the
resulting shifts of opinions and viewpoints that such an action
would cause.

You must actively create as much strife as possible in as many
places as possible when given the chance to do so, for no
other reason other than to do so. This does not mean that you
do so indiscriminately however. In your inherently
contradictory nature, you have an orderly way of setting things
to spin out of control. Everything you do is for the Great Old
Ones, the beings that embodied insanity and chaos in its
purest form, and so only the purest offerings of insanity and
chaos are acceptable.

The Mad Artisan
Theses Star Touched are the second oldest of them, only
younger than the occultist by a couple of years. Individuals
that had attempted to preserve their mortality and prevent
their aberrant powers from manifesting, they kept them
inside, holding large portions of it in their minds and souls.
This lead to them developing strange, new abilities, and
altering their innate casting abilities.
Mad Artisans have altered their minds and souls
irreversibly, their attempts at retaining their mortality only
serving to strengthen their aberrant powers, and the influence
they have on their minds and souls. Eventually, they cease to
be humanoids in mind and soul. What’s more, this
strengthened taint infects everything they create, and inspires
a love for creating. They are skilled artisans, which is where
they get the latter half of their name, but their works are
invariably dangerous to the beholder of them. Paintings,
carvings, and music all have the unfortunate trend of infecting
others with temporary madness, sometimes intentionally so
in the case of music.
Bonus Proficiencies

Eldritch Spirits
You are, in every place, at all times, surrounded by the strange,
insanity inducing spirits of aberrations. Completely intangible,
they cannot interact in any way with the physical world, or
other spiritual creatures, they cannot be sensed nor blocked in
any way. Only you can see them, and they play along with you.
You can use your bonus action to give yourself advantage on
one attack, or skill roll by petitioning your spirits to start a
concert for you. You may use this feature a number of times

attempt by them to retain their mortality, they took the lesson
of the Mad Artisans to heart, and instead of trying to keep the
aberrant powers they now possess within, they shunted it all
out to their bodies. They are also one of the most notorious
failures, as their bodies become increasingly more twisted,

being trapped inside an aberrant body.
Aberrants are successful in shunting all of the aberrant
power inside them to their bodies, and this ordinarily would
have cured them of their madness, but the consequences of
this action is more than enough to keep them from healing.
Their bodies have become like clay for them, able to
shapeshift easily, being able to adapt their bodies to almost
any situation. But as they gain further control over their
powers, their true form becomes increasingly alien

You can have a total of two shifts active, but you cannot use
shifts that conflict with each other, like the “split tendrils” shift
and the “claws” shift, which both affect both of your arms, but
you can use the “enlarged arm” shift with the “arm blade” shift
since both only affect one arm. All shifts count as natural
weapons, you are considered proficient with them, and you
can use your intelligence, wisdom, or charisma modifier

You also have access to the following subtle adaptations.

Transformations
At 6th level you gain two transformations that take the entirety
of your turn to activate, but give you substantial, albeit
specializing, bonuses to either diplomacy or combat. You must
use a turn to shift out of either form, and you can’t shift from
one to the other, you must be in your base form to transform
into either form. You automatically go back to your base form
if you take a long or short rest.
Combat form
You become a hulking, almost monstrous version of your race,
lacking any discernible facial features, hair(if you have hair), or
coloration. While you are in this form, you gain the following
features and traits;

You automatically fail any intimidation rolls, but you add 2
to any persuasion and deception rolls you make.
You can not access any extreme shift or subtle adaptations
while in this form, with the exception of the soothing
pheromones subtle adaptation.
You have disadvantage on all rolls when rolling to hit while
in this form.
You subtract 3 from any damage roll you make while in this
form, but your roll cannot go below 0
You take double damage from any attack while in this form.
Close friends, associates, and allies are immune to the
effects of this form.
You may use this feature 3 times per long rest. At 12th
level you can use this 4 times before needing to take a long
rest.
Aberrant Cost
As of 6th level, your body slowly starts to permanently shift
into that of an aberration, acting akin to the curse that a Wild
Magic Sorcerer has. At 6th level, you can easily hide this
mutation, as it is only affecting a small portion of your body,
such as your eyes, or your hand. You decide what the actual
mutation looks like, but there is no way to get rid of it. Any
creature can take a DC 19 wisdom(perception) check to be
able to tell these differences.
The only way to stop the spreading of the mutation is to no
longer take any levels in this class, otherwise the mutation will
continue to spread.
By 12th level your mutation has covered roughly half of
your body, giving you a significantly different body structure.
While you can hide the mutation, you most use heavily
obscuring clothing or armor. The portions of your body that
were not affected look sickly, and off, as they are already
mutating as well. The portions covered can be your lower
body, your upper body(excluding your face), or random
patches around your body. The DC is reduced to 6.
By 16th level only a third of what you used to be remains,
and even that looks like a cross between your mutations
features and your races. Your face is the only thing
recognizable about you, and already portions of that are
mutated. The DC is reduced to 3.
By 20th level, all of your body has mutated, become that of
an aberrant, which can be an ever shifting blob, to something
more recognizable, you decide your appearance. Your
creature type changes to aberrant, and your innate casting
becomes psionic. Every creature releases your appearance.
79
Greater transformations
At 16th level, your aberrant powers evolve, you gain additional
transformations. You are unable to use any extreme shifts or
subtle adaptations while in any of these forms, but each gives
extreme combat power in its own regard. Every form gives you
the bonuses of the combat form, excluding the ability to use
your extreme shifts and subtle adaptations.
Aberrant Fiend
You become a creature that looks akin to a horrifically
mutated Glabrezu, but with one pair of arms, hooved, winged,
no pincers, and a thin wiping tail. While you are in this form,
you have the following features, you use charisma when
rolling to hit and damage.
Claw attack: 2d6 slashing damage.
Bite attack: 1d8 piercing damage.
Horns: 1d6 piercing damage.
Hooves: 1d6 bludgeoning damage.
Goreing attack: You can use a bonus action to attempt to
shove that target with your horns, dealing 1d8 piercing
damage on a hit. The target must be no more than one size
larger than you and within 5 feet of you. Unless it succeeds
on a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier, you push it up
to 10 feet away from you.
Charge attack: If you move at least 15 feet straight toward
a target and then hit it with a goreing attack on the same
turn, the target takes an extra 2d4 piercing damage.

until the end of your next turn. The flames don’t harm you,
and they shed bright light out to 30 feet and dim light for
an additional 30 feet. While the flames are present, any
creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee
attack takes 1d4 fire damage.
Hidden barbs: As a bonus action, you can cause small
barbs to protrude all over your body or cause them to
retract. At the start of each of your turns while the barbs
are out, you deal 1d6 piercing damage to any creature
grappling you or any creature grappled by you.
You have resistance to cold damage

following features.

Also, you can't be tracked by non magical means, unless

You can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your
turn.
When you use your action to Dash, you can use a bonus
action to make one melee weapon attack or to shove a
creature. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line
immediately before taking this bonus action, you either

shrunken skull atop a thin body and having a pair of wings
made of a mass of tendrils.
Mastery of auras: You can cast Nystul's Magic Aura, Aura
of Vitality, Aura of Life, and Aura of Purity at will without
expending material components a total number of times
equal to your wisdom modifier. You are also able to use the
Aura of Protection, and Aura of Courage features.
Distorted space: Once on each of your turns, you can deal
extra radiant or necrotic damage to one target when you
deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra
radiant or necrotic damage equals your Star Touched level.
You may also decide to take damage equal to half your Star
Touched level (rounded up) to have each creature within
10 feet of you take the same amount of damage you did.
Fearful Gaze: You fix your gaze on one creature it can see
within 10 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 11
Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. A
paralyzed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end
of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends
for it, the creature is immune to this feature for the next 24
hours.
Maddening embrace: You can attempt to grapple one
creature that is within 5 feet of you. On a success, you
envelop that creature in your wings. When the creature is
enveloped, it must make an intelligence save against your
aberrant die dc. Upon a failure, the creature is driven
insane, sharing the same type of insanity you have, upon a

Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is charmed by
you for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the target
fights for you, though it doesn’t obey commands given to it..
After the minute is up, it becomes immune to your
hypnosis. Magic Resistance: You have advantage on saving
throws against spells and other magical effects Telekinetic
Manipulation: If the target is a creature that is Medium or
smaller, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw
or be moved up to 30 feet directly away from you.

that would sense your emotions or read your thoughts, as
well as all divination spells.

The Dual Warped
The youngest of the Star touched, these individuals are a
direct result of the massive diversification that the Star
Touched have gone through over the years. Individuals that
looked at the oldest of the Star Touched, they have gained a
unique insight into the causes and functions of their abilities,
becoming something of a hybrid of the Twisted Artisans, and
Abominations, splitting the influence of their powers between
their mind, body and soul.
Individuals who often seek out their own paths in life, their
insanity has become the core of their personality, being the
base of what it is built upon, instead of twisting it. Often
having nonsensical views of the world, they are not inherently
harmful to others, and can be of good alignments in cases
where their insanity doesn’t inspire mindless bloodlust, and
can be of evil alignments when they have built up bloodthirsty
personalities that aren’t interfered with by nonsensical
fantasies. Most, however, walk the path of some form of
neutrality, rither living by a skewed code of ethics, living
without a care for law or chaos, or causing chaos for the sake
of it, harmful or otherwise.
Crazy is my personality
Whatever effect of madness you had picked during character
creation is now permanently, and can only be removed by a
wish spell. What’s more, instead of having your actions being
affected by your madness, they revolve around it. Your identity
is built upon that flaw, and without, you would be lost.
Friendly, ugly spirits
You gain aberrant spirits that occasionally manifest during
times of rest, or when you call upon them. Unlike the mad
artisans however, these spirits can in fact interact with the
material plane, but only in limited ways. They also do not
cause any creative impulses, and are normally only visible to
you. They make no sounds, but communicate via sensations,
and occasionally during dreams.
Evolving shadow
Like Twisted Artisans, your shadow gains unnatural elements
to it, however, these elements are far more extreme and
physical, with your shadow getting stronger as you do.
Shifting Form
Like the Aberrants of Flesh, you are able to twist your limbs
into natural weapons, but are unable to gain the finesse to
alter your body in any way beyond that.
85
Spiritual Guardians
At 3rd level you can bring your spirits into battle. As an action,
you can target one creature for your spirits to harass, Until the
start of your next turn, that target has disadvantage on any
attack roll that isn't against you, and when the target hits a
creature other than you with an attack, that creature has
resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.
Also at 3rd level, you cannot be made to dream by any
means, when you choose this Eldritch Emergence at 3rd level.
You can still be put to sleep however.
Shadow Hound
Starting at 3rd level, your shadow can split from you and
transform into a hound of pure darkness. Most of the time,
your shadow hound masquerades as your normal shadow. As
a bonus action, you can command it to magically slip into the
shadow of a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. While
the shadow hound is merged in this manner, the target can’t
gain the benefits of half cover or three-quarters cover against
your attack rolls, and you know the distance and direction to
the target even if it is hidden. The hound can’t be seen by
anyone but you and those with truesight, and it is unaffected
by light. The target has a vague feeling of dread while the
hound is present. As a bonus action, you can command your
shadow hound to return to you. It also automatically returns
to you if you and the target are on different planes of
existence, if you’re incapacitated, or if Dispel Magic, Remove
Curse, or similar magic is used on the target. Additionally,
while your shadow hound is split from you, you cast no
shadow.
Creatures can notice your lack of a shadow if they pass a
DC 12 wisdom(perception) check. Any creatures that notice
your lack of a shadow immediately becomes wary and
distrustful of you.
Extreme Shifts and Subtle
Adaptations
Starting at 3rd level, you have gained the ability to form
natural weapons. You are unable to cast the Alter Self spell
when you choose this eldritch emergence. Any clothing or
armor you wear must be specially made to accommodate any
shifting you do, otherwise it is destroyed. Alternatively, you
could wear rags or an easily removed robe.
At 3rd level you have access to the following extreme shifts.
It takes an action to form and unform a shift. You cannot shift
from one option to the next, you must unform a current shift
to use another.

At 6th level your unique insight on your powers expand your
innate casting abilities. You know the Minor Illusion cantrip,
and can cast it at will. You can also cast the Disguise Self and
Invisibility twice. You must finish a short or long rest to cast
these spells again with this Feature. You do not need material
components to cast these spells. You can use your
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier to cast these
spells, with each modifier granting different effects;
Intelligence: The spell’s duration is doubled.
Wisdom: The spell does not require verbal components.
Charisma: The spell does not require somatic

Mantle of the Dead
At 12th level, you gain the ability to adopt a humanoid's
persona. When a humanoid dies within 30 feet of you, you can
use your shadow to devour its shadow using your reaction.
You retain this devoured shadow until you use it or you finish
a long rest.
You can use the devoured shadow as an action. When you
do so, it vanishes, magically transforming into a disguise that
appears on you. You now look like the dead person, but
healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you
end it as a bonus action.
