Constellation Mark
Whenever you damage a creature:
You may choose to mark it for one minute.
While marked:
- You always know its direction, even across planes if on the same world.
- It cannot benefit from being Invisible against you.
- Your attacks ignore any disadvantage caused by long distance.
Only one creature may be marked at a time.
Starstep

Meteor Arrow
Once per Long Rest
You draw every visible star into a single arrow.

The arrow streaks silently across the battlefield before striking like a falling star.
Creatures within a 20-foot radius make a Dexterity saving throw.

- 15d8 Radiant damage
- 15d8 Force damage
- knocked prone
On success:
Half damage.
The ground becomes molten glass where the arrow lands.
The Sky Has No Distance

You may target any creature whose location you know, provided they are on the same plane.
Range becomes effectively unlimited.
The arrow simply travels until it arrives.
Mountains.
Clouds.
Forests.
Walls.
None prevent the shot.
Only total cover created by divine magic or an artifact can stop it.

For one minute:
- Every attack automatically creates a radiant arrow.
- Attacks ignore all resistance and immunity.
- Every successful hit deals an extra 6d10 Radiant damage.
- You may make one additional ranged attack whenever you take the Attack action.
The stars themselves seem to dim while this ability is active.
