Astrologian

*Ever has man coveted knowledge, and none more so than that of his fate. Thus did he labor to master the skill of foresight—but initial efforts bore little fruit. That is, until he looked to the stars above, which foretell the coming seasons, and learned to read the heavens. Though this gift is known today as astrology, the people saw fit to not only read the stars, but to write their movements as well. By attuning their aetherial energies to that of constellations, they learned to wield magic with heretofore unseen properties. Thus was astromancy born—a new form of magic which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana.*

## Abilities

### Wisdom of the Stars

The Astrologian's main ability score is Wisdom. They gain their class bonus to Wisdom instead of Intelligence. Spellcasting is based off of Wisdom, and all class features that use Intelligence instead use Wisdom.

### Star Globe (Su)

Beginning of 1st level, as a free action, the astrologian is able to summon a star globe. A star globe is a glowing orb in which a deck of tarot cards flows around it. It is the central foci for the astrologian’s Draw abilities. Functioning only in the hands of an astrologian, the star globe deals 1d4 + Wisdom modifier points of force damage. The astrologian must make a ranged touch attack that has a range of 25 feet + 5 feet per two astrologian levels after 1st. The star globe disappears if the astrologian is unconscious, dead, or if it leaves the astrologian’s hands for any length of time. This replaces Temporal Hiccup.

### Draw (Su)

Also at 1st level, an astrologian utilizes a special deck of tarot cards that float around her star globe. As a swift action, she may draw a card at random, rolling a 1d6 (see below). Once drawn, an astrologian may imbue the effects of the card on a single target within 30 feet. At 5th level and every four levels thereafter, the effects of the card increases by 1 (The Ewer increases by 5 ft). The duration of the card’s effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the astrologian’s Wisdom modifier. The astrologian may use this ability a number of times per day equal to her astrologian level.

This replaces Motes of Time.

### Astrology Secrets

At 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter, the Astrologian can choose a Temporal Talent or an Astrology Secret. If a Temporal Talent requires spending motes, they instead require spending uses of Draw.

This changes Temporal Talents.

### Minor Arcana (Su)

At 5th level, as a free action, the astrologian converts the currently drawn card into the Lord of Crowns when Balance, Arrow, or Shield, or the Lady of Crowns when Bole, Ewer, or Spire.

* *Lord of Crowns (Su):* This card grants the bonuses of all three cards of Balance, Arrow, and Shield.
* *Lady of Crowns (Su):* This card grants the bonuses of all three cards of Bole, Ewer, and Spire.

The astrologian can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Wisdom modifier.

This replaces Aevum.

### Spread (Su)

At 7th level, the astrologian’s studies into astromancy has led her to a better understanding of reading fortunes. As a free action after using the Draw ability, the astrologian may set a drawn card aside for later use. This card is added to her spread and can be activated as a free action during her turn. The card sits in her spread until used and may only have 1 card at a time in her spread. The card in the spread expires anytime the astrologian is unconscious.

This replaces Temporal Attunement.

### Future Sight (Su)

At 9th level, once each day, the astrologian may declare that an action she has just taken did not happen. She may then take a different action. She can do this after the results of her action are known. The mixing of future and present is disorienting. She is shaken for 1d4 rounds after she uses this ability. This does not stack with other fear effects, but nothing can remove this condition. At 12th level, and every three astrologian levels thereafter, she can use this ability an additional time per day.

This replaces Time Shift.

### Master Astrologian (Su)

Upon achieving 20th level, the astrologian’s rapport with the heavens grants her perfect harmony with the universe. She receives a bonus on all saving throws equal to her Wisdom modifier. She automatically stabilizes if she is below 0 hit points, is immune to fear effects and to critical hits. Should the astrologian die, she is reborn 3 days later in the form of a star child, who matures over the course of 7 days (treat as the *Reincarnate* spell).

This replaces Time Lord.
