Astral Precision

At 1st level the Astral Sniper enhances their your marksmanship skills, granting you heightened accuracy and precision. Shots guided by your patron's power have an uncanny ability to find their mark, even under challenging circumstances.

Celestial Veil

At 6th level you gain the ability to briefly enter an astral state, becoming ethereal and incorporeal. In this form, you can move through obstacles, avoid attacks, and gain a temporary advantage when taking shots.

This celestial veil grants you a range of advantages, including:

Ethereal Movement

While in the celestial veil state, you can move through solid objects, allowing you to bypass physical barriers and gain strategic positioning.

Evasion

You gain a heightened ability to dodge attacks, as you become partially incorporeal. They can phase through enemy strikes, reducing the chances of being hit.

Astral Aim

While in the celestial veil state, your marksmanship reaches new heights. Your shots have an increased chance to hit and deal additional damage, thanks to their temporary alignment with the astral energies of your patron.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short rest.

Starlit Arsenal

At 10th level your patron gifts you with specialized ammunition or enchanted weaponry. These astral-infused projectiles or weapons have enhanced properties, such as piercing defenses, leaving trails of astral energy that disrupt enemy magic, or causing additional astral damage.

Some possibilities for the enhanced properties of these astral-infused arms include:

Piercing Shots

Your projectiles can bypass or pierce through armor and barriers, allowing their attacks to strike true even against heavily armored foes.

Astral Disruption

Your shots leave behind trails of astral energy that disrupt enemy magic or temporarily weaken magical defenses, making it easier for allies to land subsequent magical attacks.

Astral Burst

Upon impact, your projectiles release a burst of astral energy that causes additional damage to the target and potentially affects nearby enemies caught in the burst radius.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Astral Ascendancy

At 14th level you gain the ability to achieve temporary transcendence, channeling the essence of the Astral Sniper. You can enter an astral form, embodying celestial energy and becoming an avatar of marksmanship and impossible geometry.

While in your Astral Ascendancy form, you gain several potent abilities:

Astral Precision

Your marksmanship becomes unparalleled. Every shot you take while in Astral Ascendancy has heightened accuracy and precision, as if guided directly by the Astral Sniper.

Spatial Manipulation

You gain the ability to manipulate space and angles on a limited scale. They can distort reality within a certain radius, altering trajectories, bending light, and temporarily rearranging the environment to your advantage.

Astral Burst

Your attacks in Astral Ascendancy form are infused with immense astral power. Upon impact, your shots create powerful bursts of astral energy, dealing substantial damage to the target and potentially affecting a larger area.

Ethereal Evasion

In your astral form, you become nearly untouchable. You can phase through physical attacks and have heightened resistance to magical effects, making you exceptionally difficult to harm.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
