Lightblade of Serenity. A weapon of stillness and precision.
-
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
-
Hit: 14 (2d8 + 4) radiant damage.
-
On a critical hit, the target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the end of Bariss’s next turn.
Meditative Counter. When Bariss is targeted by an attack she can see, she may use her reaction to add +4 to her AC until the start of her next turn. If the attack misses, she can make one Lightblade attack as part of the same reaction.
Moon’s Grace. While in dim light or darkness, Bariss gains resistance to all spell damage and her movement leaves behind a faint trail of silver light.
Lunarra’s Reflection (Recharge 6). As an action, Bariss can summon a mirror of herself — an ethereal illusion that duplicates her next two Lightblade attacks. The mirror lasts 1 minute or until destroyed (AC 17, HP 20).
Celestial Focus. Bariss can meditate for one minute to regain expended spell slots up to a combined level of 5 once per long rest.
Multiattack. Bariss makes two Lightblade attacks.
Lightblade of Serenity (Melee Weapon Attack): +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 14 (2d8 + 4) radiant damage.
Moonsurge (Recharge 5–6). Bariss channels a pulse of lunar energy in a 20-ft. radius. Enemies must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 27 (6d8) radiant damage and be blinded until the start of her next turn. Allies instead regain 15 (3d10) hit points.
Stillness of Mind (1/day). Bariss can cast calm emotions, sanctuary, or hold person without material components.
Phase Step. Bariss teleports up to 30 ft. into dim light, leaving behind a shimmer of moonlight. Her next attack has advantage.
Inner Harmony. Regains 15 hit points at the start of her turn if she began her last turn meditating (no attacks taken).
Legendary Actions (2/ per round)
Mirror Reversal (Costs 1 Action).
Bariss reflects a targeted spell back to its caster as a shimmering burst of blue light.
Lunar Blade Dance (Costs 2 Actions).
She performs a swift flourish, moving up to 20 ft. and striking twice, each attack dealing 10 (2d6 + 3) radiant damage.
Description
Lore
Among the pale temples of Lunarra, where moonlight pools like liquid silver, there was once a prodigy named Bariss Ophae — the Veil of Reflection.
Born to the Mirian celestials, beings marked by luminous geometric tattoos and eyes like distant stars, she was chosen by High Seer Luminaara Vey, Arch-Warden of the Moonwardens, to walk the path of serenity and truth.
Bariss’s devotion to peace was unwavering, but her perfectionism became her downfall. She saw hypocrisy in those who claimed to serve harmony while sowing quiet chaos — and when her faith fractured, she turned her reflection inward, seeking her own truth in Lunarra’s silence.
Now she wanders between the planes, seeking to heal the wounds of the celestial order. She is neither fallen nor faithful — a Moonwarden in exile, her light tempered by doubt.
Appearance
Bariss Ophae has midnight-blue skin patterned with pale golden runes in angular motifs across her cheeks and forearms. Her emerald eyes are soft but distant, as if watching the tides of fate. Her dark hair is braided into a long loop, ornamented with silver rings that glint faintly when struck by moonlight.
She wears flowing white and navy robes layered with light armor of silversteel, designed to move with her rather than resist her. Around her waist is a crescent-shaped sash, the symbol of Lunarra’s watchful eye.
In her hand, she carries a single blue Lightblade of Serenity — its glow calm and unwavering, like moonlight reflected on still water.
Personality
-
Motto: “In silence, even guilt has an echo.”
-
Virtue: Reflection, humility, discipline.
-
Flaw: Overanalyzes every decision until it paralyzes her.
-
Ideal: True peace is found not in perfection, but in understanding imperfection.
Divine Mentor — High Seer Luminaara Vey
Once Luminara Unduli, she is now High Seer Luminaara Vey, the Oracle of Tides and Shadows.
Her wisdom flows like moonlight on calm water — beautiful, but often concealing its depths. To her disciples, she teaches:“Serenity is not the absence of motion. It is the rhythm between stillness and change.”
Luminaara is a CR 18 Celestial Prophet, whose foresight allows her to glimpse moments of possibility across planes. To her, Bariss remains a pupil — not fallen, merely unfinished.
