Innate Spellcasting. The asteray's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 21). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: spider climb, major image, witch bolt, encode thoughts, fabricate, mage armor
3/day: charm monster, nondetection, lightning bolt
1/day: confusion, greater invisibility, contact other plane
Wake Rider. By touching a starship or spelljammer, an asteray can bond to the energy wake it leaves as it travels. This allows the fey to match speeds with the starship and ride along with it, treating the ship as if it were the “ground” so long as it remains within 100 feet.
Flyby. The asteray doesn’t provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy’s reach.
Void Adaptation. The asteray does not breathe and is unaffected by vacuums.
Multiattack. An asteray makes two electric blast ranged attacks, or one electric blast and one tail whip melee attack.
Electric Blast. Ranged Attack. +13 to hit, range 100 ft., one target. Hit: 2d8 + 8 lightning damage.
Tail Whip. Melee Attack. +8 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 2d12 + 5 slashing damage.
Description
Delicate and angelic looking in zero gravity, asterays are a race of vacuum dwelling fey that ride the solar winds between space debris, asteroid belts, and planetary rings, playing in the dust, dancing in microgravity, and seeking new and beautiful sights. Their bodies consist of little beyond lightweight, flexible bones and the powerful sinews that bind them together, creating a vaguely humanoid upper body and a lower body consisting of a large appendage that absorbs cosmic radiation and grants the fey the ability to propel itself through space. With elegant forms and diaphanous tails, they appear gentle and welcoming. Wide eyes—blue or green in color—express a variety of emotions, though apart from their eyes and the long, thin slit for a mouth, asterays have featureless faces. They are well adapted to life in the void, with sensitive vision, a variety of natural spells, and the capability to generate powerful bolts of electricity to defend themselves.
