Innate Aspect · Playtest
Supernatural stellar signs, uncertain present trajectories and stellar power; ordinary astronomy remains learned.

Express glowing constellation symbols as up to 5 words or a similarly detailed image, visible or audible within 60 feet. Observers require a shared language or code; no private channel or language comprehension.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Trace a harmless stellar glyph. Action; touch or within 5 feet, normally no more than 1 pound. No damage, conditions, saleable material, or replacement for trained tool work.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Psychic damage. When you would take psychic damage, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Visible stellar patterns. Notice relevant exposed phenomena within 5 feet. Does not automatically reveal hidden creatures, intentions, diagnoses, or facts. A stated touch requirement still applies.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Glowing constellation symbols. Action; simple observable signals within 30 feet. No automatic privacy or language comprehension. Explicit willing-touch thought, dream-image, or mood expressions use touch instead of remote signaling.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Present possibilities feel like intersecting paths. Descriptive sensory experience only. Grants no immunity, proficiency, compulsory personality, or unstated mechanical benefit.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Proficiency +2; Intelligence modifier +3. Aspect attacks use their sum; saves use 8 + their sum. These are PC level-based examples. NPCs and monsters use their actual proficiency.
3 maximum Charges, restored by a long rest. Pay only the cost printed on the ability. All actions and concentration share your ordinary turn.
Grand Conjunction: 5 points, one rank-V path and rank II in both others. Natural access begins at level 20; paid ultimate acceleration can permit level 17. One shared annual recovery record and bodily strain apply.
For 1 hour, share a visual chart of up to five present trajectories supported by available evidence with twelve willing creatures within 60 feet. The DM states assumptions and uncertainty. No guaranteed future, hidden facts, automatic success or bonus rolls.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
