Silverstar of Selune Oracle Archetype
Silverstars are the specialty priests of Selune — devoted advocates of freedom and tolerance, wanderers on the path of truth, and absolute foes of Shar. They seek to build harmony among lycanthropes and non-shapechangers, and they protect the weak and the oppressed everywhere. They cannot abide slavery, and the servants of the black blood (evil lycanthropes) are anathema to them. They rarely settle in one place for long, instead moving along when seized by wanderlust or enticed by a new cause or mission. Sometimes they receive visions and are seen as somewhat “touched” with prophecy by their closeness to the Moonmaiden. They deal with lunar energies and phenomena and are, to a limited degree, able to wield the power of the moon, bringing its fierce, pure white light to Toril to advance the goddess’s wishes.
Silverstars are often found in large coastal cities dependent on the sea for trade and sustenance. Others prefer the outlying reaches of civilized realms, where lycanthropes are most common. Wherever they are found, silverstars actively oppose the activities and misdeeds of Shar’s followers, as well as those of Malar, whether singly or in groups.
Patron Deity and Alignment: The Silverstar must have Selune as her chosen patron, must choose the Lunar mystery, and must remain Good in alignment. If she ever leaves the service of Selune or strays from this alignment requirement, she loses the abilities of this archetype. She may seek atonement in order to regain these features.
Class Skills: The Silverstar gains Survival (Wis) as a class skill. This modifies the oracle’s class skills.
Mystery: The Silverstar must choose the Lunar mystery.
Revelations: In addition to the revelations of the Lunar mystery, the Silverstar also has access to the following revelations from the Heavens mystery: Coat of Many Stars, Guiding Star, Spray of Shooting Stars, and Star Chart.
The following are exclusive revelations that can also be chosen by a Silverstar:
Blessed Lycanthropy (Su): Silverstars who contract (or have already contracted) any form of lycanthropy are treated as natural lycanthropes, rather than inflicted lycanthropes, and they gain the Scent ability in any form. Silverstars do not change alignment due to contracting lycanthropy regardless of the alignment type of the lycanthrope, and are aware of their actions while in animal or hybrid form. You must be 11th level to choose this revelation
Lunar Channelling (Su): A silvertar with this revelation can, as a standard action, emit a beam of consecrated moonlight to cause all evil aligned lycanthropes within 30 feet of her to flee, as if panicked. They receive a Will save to negate the effect. The DC for this Will save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the Silverstar’s class level + her Charisma modifier. Lycanthropes that fail their save flee for 1 minute, and may make a new saving throw each round to end the effect.
Moon’s Hand (Su): Any mace wielded by a silverstar with this revelation is treated as if it were a shocking weapon. If leaves the hand of the silverstar it reverts to its original abilities. If the weapon has additional abilities (such as frost), these abilities still apply. At 6th level, a mace in the silverstar’s hand gains a +1 enhancement bonus atop of any attunement bonus she already applies to the weapon. At 11th level, the mace becomes a shocking burst weapon.
Moonshield (Su): a silverstar with this revelation learns how to better resist the magic of the Shadow Weave. She adds her Charisma modifier — to a maximum of her silverstar level, on saves against enchantment, illusion, and necromancy spells and effects, and spells and effects with the darkness descriptor. This bonus applies whether or not the source is from the Weave or the Shadow Weave.
