The Asterin

A Playable Species

If you look very closely and stand quite still, sometimes, in the perpetual twilight of the Feywild, you can see the faint twinkle of distant stars. And if you travel very widely and always speak politely to the strangest-looking person at the tavern, you might get to meet one of those stars.

Asterin are faerie stars that can take humanoid forms. As stars, they’re content to sing their ancient and ethereal traditional songs and bask in their own light. As humanoids, they thrive on the energy of wonder and amazement, and often travel outside the Feywild to see as many places and meet as many people as possible.

Overview

This is a supplemental document that will help you create an asterin character: a funky, four-armed femme fey. With innate spellcasting and shapechanging abilities, asterin are a unique addition to any adventuring party.

If you've created an asterin character, I would absolutely love to hear about them! Please feel free to leave a comment, or email me at kaymarlowallen@gmail.com.

More D&D

If you'd like more of my flavor of D&D, I've created another free playable species, as well as a free character background! Create a large sentient vegetable character, or play an adventurer coming out of retirement for one more epic journey.
