Lodestar Class

5.5E & 5E Class

Lodestars draw power from the stars themselves. This cosmic magic flows from the orderly movements of the heavens, allowing a Lodestar to manifest a guiding star and channel its light to heal allies, and control the battlefield. Unlike divine magic, cosmic magic is not granted through worship or prayer. Lodestars do not serve gods or swear sacred oaths. Instead, they learn to harmonize with the light of the stars, aligning their awareness with cosmic forces that act as beacons in the night sky. Through focus and intuition, a Lodestar calls upon a solar, lunar, or stellar guide and expresses its influence through a harmonizing star.
Not everyone who studies stars become a Lodestar. Astronomers, astrologers, and mystics may admire the heavens without ever touching their power. Only a rare few can truly resonate with cosmic light and shape it into a living force. Those who succeed manifest a harmonizing star, a subtle yet radiant energy that reflects their connection to the cosmos and shines as a beacon even in the darkest depths.

The Lodestar is a support class built around battlefield positioning and meaningful choices, using a cosmic companion and a flexible resource system to guide the flow of combat.

Harmonizing Star. Your signature feature and constant presence on the battlefield. The Harmonizing Star projects a Cone of Light that you reposition each turn, shaping where your features are most effective. Many of your abilities key directly off the placement of this light which rewards smart positioning.

Cosmic Dice. A resource that fuels your support abilities. Instead of committing to a single role, Cosmic Dice let you adapt in the moment. Mastering when to spend and when to hold your Cosmic Dice is at the heart of playing a Lodestar.
