Solarian
About this class
You’re an enlightened warrior-monk blessed with the understanding of cosmos and The Cycle, a conduit for the stellar forces of the cosmos – a solar knight. The powers of gravity and light represent the extremes of these forces, and you can attune yourself between them. As a follower of The Cycle, you manifest an array of solar equipment and use your own connection to stellar forces to empower them. Every solarian creates weapons of pure stellar energy that they can manifest at will and can cycle their attunement.

Stellar Mode
When you are spotlighted, you enter a state of metaphysical alignment with cosmic forces and attune to photon or graviton. When you successfully attack a creature, you can mark a Stress to inflict the following:
• Graviton-Attuned: Make them temporarily Restrained or Vulnerable.
• Photon-Attuned: Double a damage die of your choice. Stellar Manifestations. -
Stellar Manifestation
Your deep understanding of the stellar forces manifest in three tangible ways. They can be further augmented via material and they all receive the Bonded weapon feature:
• Solar Flare: A small mote of solar power hovers nearby or appears embedded on a part of your body. This mote can unleash a directed blast of energy at Far range dealing d8+1 damage using your proficiency.
• Solar Nimbus: A layer of stellar energy surrounds and overlays your body in an appearance and shape of your choice. Mark a Stress to activate a Nimbus Surge when an adversary moves out of your melee range, making an attack with your Solar weapon as a reaction roll.
• Solar Weapon: Through sheer will you call forth a tangible weapon forged from the essence of stars in a form of your choice. This is a Melee weapon dealing d12+1 energy damage using your proficiency.
• Bonded: Bonus to damage rolls equal to your level. -
Sidereal Influence Dice
