Radiance Awoken

I
n the world of mystical wonders, the
Luminari shine as celestial-born beings whose
very essence is woven with the luminescent
threads of the stars. Radiant and captivating, they
are beings of ethereal beauty and grace, touched by the
cosmic forces that govern the heavens.
The Luminari possess an innate connection to the
celestial realms, allowing them to channel the very light
of the stars to bless and safeguard those around them.
Masters of the healing arts, Luminari are particularly
adept at mending wounds and restoring vitality,
harnessing the power of starlight to mend flesh and
spirit alike. As protectors of the realms, they embody the
virtues of compassion and selflessness, placing
themselves at the forefront of battles to shield their
companions from harm.
 Origins and Lore
The origins of the Luminari trace back to the distant realms where stars twinkle like precious gems in the tapestry of
the night sky. Born from the cosmic forces that shape the universe, the Luminari are a manifestation of the celestial’s
grace and brilliance. According to the ancient tomes and sagas that chronicle their beginnings, it is said that during the
convergence of astral energies, a chosen few among mortals were infused with stardust and cosmic radiance. These
individuals transcended their mortal forms, ascending into beings of pure light and celestial essence. As such, the
Luminari are considered a bridge between the mortal realm and the heavens, walking a path that allows them to bring
celestial blessings and insights to the world below.
In the intricate weave of the multiverse, the Luminari serve as emissaries of balance and harmony. It is believed that
they were granted existence by the celestial deities themselves, charged with safeguarding the delicate equilibrium
between light and darkness. Their presence is a testament to the cosmic design, a living testament to the intricacies of
the cosmos. Luminari are often associated with ancient prophecies and celestial omens, with their appearance in the
mortal realm marking significant events in the timeline of the world. Some myths even suggest that the stars
themselves whispered secrets of magic and wisdom to the first Luminari, endowing them with the power to heal,
protect, and inspire.
Throughout history, Luminari have been revered as both healers and protectors, earning them a place of honor in
the annals of countless cultures. From distant elven kingdoms to secluded monastic orders, tales of Luminari’s
benevolence and radiance echo through the ages. Their healing touch is seen as a divine blessing, capable of mending
wounds that were once thought incurable. Similarly, their role as guardians against darkness has granted them a
reputation as steadfast defenders against malevolent forces that threaten the world’s equilibrium.
While Luminari are often associated with serenity and compassion, they are not without their own struggles. Their
celestial heritage can lead to feelings of isolation and a yearning for the cosmos, which sometimes creates an inherent
tension between their responsibilities to the world below and their innate connection to the stars above. Despite these
challenges, Luminari draw strength from their celestial lineage and the knowledge that they are an embodiment of the
universe’s grand design.

merging from the heart of the earth,
Terraforged are embodiments of elemental
earth magic, shaped from the very minerals
and stones that form the bedrock of
existence. These beings, often mistaken for statues at
first glance, possess bodies composed of living stone
and earth. Their connection to the earth grants them not
only natural armor but also the ability to manipulate and
shape the very ground beneath them.
Terraforged excel as unwavering defenders of the
land and as skilled artisans who can reshape the world
around them with a touch. Just as the mountains stand
firm against the ravages of time, Terraforged stand
resolute against threats to the natural order, their
presence a testament to the unyielding strength of the
earth itself.
Origins and Lore
The origins of the Terraforged are deeply intertwined with the primordial forces that shape the world. According to
ancient texts and the whispers of elemental sages, Terraforged are believed to be the result of a powerful convergence
of earth elemental magic and the living essence of the earth itself. It is said that during times of great seismic upheaval,
when the very land trembles with elemental energy, the earth reaches out and imbues certain stones and minerals
with sentience, birthing the first Terraforged.
Legends speak of ancient rituals performed by druids and geomancers, during which they called upon the spirits of
the earth to infuse life into these stone beings. The result was a fusion of elemental magic and earthly essence,
creating creatures capable of bridging the gap between the physical and the magical. These rituals often took place
deep within caverns, where the heartbeat of the earth could be felt most strongly. Terraforged emerged from these
sacred sites, their bodies composed of living stone that retained the memory of the ancient land.
Terraforged are often associated with tales of the earth’s creation and its connection to the elemental planes. They
are regarded as guardians of the land, tasked with maintaining the balance of the natural world. In many cultures, they
are considered as living embodiments of the earth’s wisdom, their presence a reminder of the enduring strength and
resilience of the land they represent.
Throughout history, Terraforged have been revered as both defenders and craftsmen. Their connection to the earth
allows them to manipulate stone and soil with unparalleled precision, creating intricate structures, sculptures, and
even defensive fortifications. Their deep understanding of the earth’s geological patterns grants them insight into the
world’s secrets, making them sought-after advisers and protectors in times of upheaval.
Terraforged often form close bonds with druids, geomancers, and those who share their affinity for the natural
world. They are drawn to places where the land is in turmoil or requires healing, using their innate earth magic to
mend wounds and restore balance. Their alignment tends to be neutral, as they seek to maintain the equilibrium of the
world without being swayed by personal agendas.

 As a Stoneguard Terraforged, Grom’s sturdier build
and affinity for physical strength were evident from the
start. He was chosen by his elders to undergo rigorous
training, honing his abilities to defend his people and
the mountains they called home. He learned to harness
the power of the earth, causing tremors with his bare
hands and shaping the terrain to create natural barriers.
These abilities marked him as a protector, one whose
unwavering loyalty to the land would drive his actions.
Choosing the Outlander background, Grom’s
upbringing among the mountains granted him a deep
understanding of the wilderness and an unyielding
survival instinct. He roamed the peaks and valleys,
navigating treacherous terrains with ease and
discovering hidden pockets of natural beauty. His
communion with the land allowed him to detect
changes in the earth and predict shifts in the weather,
making him a trusted guide for those who ventured into
the wilderness.
Grom’s alignment as Lawful Neutral reflects his
commitment to maintaining the balance of the land
while adhering to his own internal code of honor. His
loyalty to the mountains and his people takes
precedence over personal desires or ambitions, making

 The Synthmorphs
Fusion of Magic and Machinery

S
ynthmorphs stand as fascinating
constructs, brought to life through intricate
arcane experimentation. These beings exist at
the convergence of machinery and magic, each
Synthmorph a living testament to the fusion of
mechanical precision and arcane essence.
Composed of both mechanical and organic
components, Synthmorphs possess a mesmerizing
blend of artificial and natural features. These magical
creations possess innate abilities that stem from their
unique origins, allowing them to harness their artificial
nature to cast spells and seamlessly shift their forms.
As versatile spellcasters and adaptable shapeshifters,
Synthmorphs embody a harmonious union of mysticism
and mechanism, capable of weaving spells with the
intricacy of clockwork and altering their appearance as
effortlessly as a change in gears.
 Origins and Lore
The enigmatic origins of the Synthmorphs trace back to a time of daring experimentation and boundless curiosity
within the arcane arts. Born from the minds of ingenious artificers and ambitious mages, Synthmorphs are the result
of a fusion between mechanical constructs and the intricate weaving of magical energies. In the shadowed laboratories
and hidden workshops, these pioneers sought to bridge the gap between life and artifice, birthing a new form of
sentient being into the world.
The creation of a Synthmorph involves the meticulous assembly of mechanical frameworks, intricate circuits, and
artificial sinews. To infuse life into these constructs, arcane rituals are performed, weaving strands of magic into the
very core of their existence. The process is delicate and precise, requiring a deep understanding of both mechanical
engineering and the nuances of arcane forces. The final result is a being that walks the line between machine and
living being, bearing the marks of both creator and magic in every aspect of their form.
Synthmorphs possess a collective history that spans generations, with each iteration building upon the knowledge
and insights of its predecessors. Early Synthmorphs often faced challenges in understanding their identity and
purpose, as their dual nature led to a quest for self-discovery. Over time, they formed communities of their own,
seeking solace and understanding among fellow Synthmorphs who shared similar experiences of being both
mechanical and magical.
Legends and tales recount the journeys of Synthmorphs who sought to understand their place in a world dominated
by creatures of flesh and blood. They often became wanderers and scholars, their insatiable curiosity driving them to
explore the realms in search of knowledge, wisdom, and connections. The Synthmorphs’ existence is not without its
complexities, however, as some societies view them with skepticism, uncertainty, or even fear due to their unique
nature.

dedicated countless hours to unraveling the secrets of

Elara Gearwright that set Auris on an extraordinary
path.
Elara recognized Auris’ potential as a vessel for
arcane experimentation, and under her guidance, the
young Synthmorph underwent a transformative
process. Intricate mechanical augmentations were
carefully grafted onto Auris’ form, intricately linked with
channels for arcane energy. Through this synthesis of
magic and mechanics, Auris gained the ability to
harness and manipulate magic with unparalleled
precision.
Choosing the path of a Wizard, Auris embraced the
art of spellcasting with fervor, each incantation
resonating through the intertwined mechanisms and
magic that composed their being. The Sage background
proved a natural fit for Auris’ insatiable thirst for

link with the flames that burn at the heart of
creation, infusing their very essence with the scorching
energy of the elemental inferno. Adorned with fiery
details that flicker and dance like flames upon their
skin, Pyrodwarves are not only skilled fire manipulators
but also fervent creators who shape molten metal and
searing magic into works of art.
Their affinity for the flames is more than a mere
talent—it’s a calling that ignites their souls with an
unquenchable passion. Pyrodwarves, with their mastery
of pyromancy and the crafting of incendiary spells and
artifacts, conjure both awe and inspiration in those who
bear witness to their blazing prowess.
Origins and Lore
The origins of the Pyrodwarves are intertwined with the elemental realm of fire, a domain where flames dance with
unrestrained energy and molten currents shape the very fabric of existence. According to ancient scrolls and tales
passed down through generations, Pyrodwarves are believed to be the descendants of a revered dwarven clan that
delved deep into the heart of a volcanic mountain in search of rare and powerful materials. In their quest for mastery
over fire, these dwarves made contact with the elemental plane of fire itself, forging a connection that forever altered
their destiny.
From that pivotal moment, the Pyrodwarves became infused with the essence of fire, their bodies and souls forever
bound to the fiery energies of the elemental plane. Their skin gained the fiery hues of ember, adorned with intricate
patterns that seemed to flicker like the flames they cherished. As their affinity for fire grew, they discovered their
innate ability to conjure and manipulate flames, harnessing the very power of the elemental realm.
The lore of the Pyrodwarves is steeped in tales of legendary pyromancers who harnessed the fiery arts to reshape
the world around them. From crafting incendiary spells that sear through enemies to forging fiery artifacts of
unimaginable power, Pyrodwarves have long been renowned as masters of the flame. Their creations, be they
enchanted weapons, blazing talismans, or intricately designed structures, bear the indelible mark of their fiery touch,
becoming a testament to their artistry and passion.
In the cultures that revere them, Pyrodwarves are seen as both artisans and firebringers, revered for their ability to
conjure and control flames with unparalleled finesse. They often serve as both protectors and catalysts for
transformation, using their mastery over fire to forge paths through challenges and to fuel the fires of innovation.
Pyrodwarves’ fervor for life is matched only by their dedication to their craft, as they channel the heat of the elemental
plane to both shape and reshape the world according to their vision.
Throughout the ages, Pyrodwarves have demonstrated unwavering loyalty to their kin and the bonds they form with
their allies. Their affinity for creation and fire draws them to the heart of both forging halls and arcane libraries, where
they continue to explore the boundaries of their abilities and delve deeper into the mysteries of fire magic.

Classes: Wizard, Sorcerer
The main function of this spell is to replicate the effects
of any other spell of 9th level or lower. You don’t need to
meet any requirements in that spell, including costly
components. The spell simply takes effect. Alternatively,
you can create one of the following effects of your
choice:
You create one object of up to 50,000 gp in value
that isn’t a magic item. The object can be no more
than 600 feet in any dimension.
You allow up to forty creatures that you can see to
regain all hit points, and you end all effects on them
described in the greater restoration spell.
You grant up to twenty creatures that you can see
resistance to two damage types you choose.
You grant up to twenty creatures you can see
immunity to two spells or other magical effects for 8
hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all
your companions immune to a lich’s life drain attack
and Power Word Kill.
You undo a single recent event by forcing a re-roll of
any roll made within the last round (including your
last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the
new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an
opponent’s successful save, a foe’s critical hit, or a
friend’s failed save. You can force the reroll to be
made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can
choose whether to use the re-roll or the original roll.
If you don’t like the outcome of the reroll, you can
cause a second re-roll and choose your favorite of the

You might be able to achieve something beyond the
scope of the above examples. State your wish to the DM
as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in
ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the
wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes
wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire
might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some
unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded
the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead
might propel you forward in time to a period when that
villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from
the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item
or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence
of the item’s current owner. Whatever happens, it will
happen with close to twice the intensity of a normal

At 2nd level, a star, much like the one from which you
were born, calls out to you from the cosmos and
bestows upon you its unique abilities. Red Giant
Starmancers are granted immense destructive power
and the capacity to inspire teammates to achieve
victory. Neutron Starmancers, on the other hand,
concentrate extensively on manipulating physics to
overcome their adversaries, exhibiting impeccable
control over the battlefield. Lastly, there exists the
enigmatic Protostar Starmancer, proficient in stealth
and the art of subtly manipulating the mind. When you
choose a Star Path, you gain abilities at the indicated
levels as you grow closer to your celestial patron star.
Additionally, you acquire spells at specific levels. These
spells are always considered prepared and do not count
against your prepared spell limit.
Star Dust
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to manipulate your
magic through a fusion of physics and metaphysics. You
start with 2 flecks of ethereal star dust and regain a
number of star dust equal to the amount indicated on
the table after completing a long rest. You can expend
this dust to activate the following effects whenever you
cast a spell as a Starmancer. However, you can apply
only one instance of Cosmic Redirection to any single
spell at a time.
Alter Gravity
By expending 2 dust, you can augment the gravity
around the target of your spell. The target must succeed
on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone by the
altered gravitational forces of your spell.
Burst of Light
For the cost of 1 dust, you infuse your spell with a burst
of luminous particles, dealing 1d4 radiant damage upon
a successful hit. If you choose, you may expend
additional dust to augment this effect, adding 1d4
radiant damage for each additional dust expended.
Nonetheless, the total radiant damage through this
augmentation cannot exceed 5d4.
Starlight
Spending 1 dust enables you to conjure a sphere of
starlight that accompanies the impact of the spell you’ve
cast. This starlight creates distracting dazzles and
intermittent flashes of illumination, imposing
disadvantage on any concentration checks made by the
affected target until the end of your next turn.
