The Heavenly Paths in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

The Heavenly Paths

When an Astrologian is early on in their studies, they select a sect of stars from which they will draw their powers from. The stars were mapped using the positions of the sun and moon, and these two sects are reflective of their reference points. The Diurnal Sect uses the sun as their reference point, creating their star maps with the sun being the key to navigation, while the Nocturnal Sect uses the moon as the reference point. An Astrologian may choose to minimally study the stars and focus their efforts into their tarot deck, learning advanced techniques on how to manipulate fate as a Fortuneteller.

Features

Diurnal Sect

  Your study of astrology has led you to studying under the Diurnal sect. Students of this sect focus on developing their understanding of the stars and their fortune telling in reference to the sun. Reflective of the life the sun provides those of the land, students of the Diurnal Sect focus on improving their ability to heal and support their allies.
 

Fortunate Healing

Beginning at the 2nd level, whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you may expend an available draw to further empower the heal. The creature regains additional hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier.
 

Eyes of Azeyma

Also beginning at the 2nd level, you may expend an available draw to assist you in revealing dangers of the area. As an action you may do a quick reading to scan for traps in the area, giving you advantage on perception checks for 1 minute.
 

Diurnal Benefic

Beginning at the 6th level you are able to empower your healing spells with the power of the sun. When you cast a spell of the 1st-level or higher that restores the hit points of an ally, you may leave a regenerative effect on all affected allies. After the spell is cast, the affected creatures recover 1d6 hit points at the start of their turn for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom ability modifier. You must then finish a short or long rest to use Diurnal Benefic again.
 

Lightspeed

Beginning at the 10th level, you may cast a 1st, 2nd or 3rd-level spell you have prepared as a bonus action by spending a number of available draws equal to the level of the spell you wish to cast.
 

Sun's Fortune

Beginning at the 14th level, when you use the Fortunate Healing feature, the additional healing becomes 6 + your Wisdom Modifier. Additionally, you may roll 1d6 and apply the appropriate effect as if you had used the Draw action.
