Item - 5th Constellation - South Paw

The 13 Stellar Armaments

5th Constellation - South Paw

Wondrous Item (Gauntlet)

This gauntlet, which is represented by the south paw constellation, once belonged to the 5th Stellar Watcher, Myantha Yelthana, the esteemed headmaster of the Starlight Monastery and the first Stellar Watcher of elven lineage. Lady Yelthana was the creator of a martial art that would later become known as The Fist of The Shooting Star, or, by its more colloquial name, "The Mageslayer Fist."

The Starstream Fist was developed in the wake of the 1st Arcane Rewrite, during the rapid rise of arcane-centric civilizations that began to view divine and celestial entities as irrelevant and unnecessary. The resentment towards celestial beings, who appeared to mortals as no different from the fiends that battled over the Material Plane for ages, led to a gradual push against religious societies, including the followers of Lirianyx.

Lady Yelthana held the title of Stellar Watcher for hundreds of years, during which she fiercely defended the Cerulean Observatory and Starlight Monastery from the emerging magocracy. Her numerous confrontations with arcane practitioners led her to develop this unique martial art designed specifically to manipulate arcane energy and combat spellcasters.

---------------------------------

While wearing this gauntlet, your unarmed attacks with it deal 1d6 force damage. This item has 3 charges and regains 1d4 expended charge daily at dawn.

Banishing Strike. While wearing this gauntlet, when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can expend 1 charge and force the creature to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is banished to the Ethereal Plane, stunned, and remains there until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature remains in its current plane. If the attack is a critical hit, the Banishing Strike effect is triggered without expending a charge.

While in the Ethereal Plane, the target is unable to interact with or affect the Material Plane. It cannot be seen, targeted, or affected by spells or abilities originating from the Material Plane unless they have a special ability or magic to do so.

When the creature returns to its original plane at the end of its next turn, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d8 force damage, is knocked prone, and is pushed 10 feet away from the attacker in a straight line. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone or pushed.

Ethereal Evasion. As a reaction, while wearing the gauntlet, when an attack or spell targets or affect you or a creature within 10 feet of you, you can expend 1 charge to momentarily teleport yourself and any willing creatures within 10 feet to the Ethereal Plane. This effect lasts until the end of the current turn, after which all affected creatures return to the Material Plane, reappearing in unoccupied spaces up to 10 feet from their previous locations. This teleportation does not provoke opportunity attacks.

13 Stellar Armament. As long as someone is attuned to the Phantasmagorical Planetaria, they or any creature of their choice that touches this item become attuned to it without taking up their attunement slot. The DC for this item’s ability equals 13 + the number of Stellar Armaments that are being worn or carried. This item's charges are also increased by half the number of Stellar Armaments that are worn or carried, rounded down. Lastly, the damage inflicted by Banishing Strike ability is increased by 1d8 for each Stellar Armament that is being worn or carried other than the gauntlet.
