Traits

Platoon Commander. Allied Celestial Legionnaires and Decani within 60 ft. gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls and saving throws while the Optio isn’t incapacitated.

Inspiring Presence. When an ally within 30 ft. starts its turn, it can add 1d4 to its next attack roll or saving throw.

Aura of Courage. Allies within 15 ft. of the Optio are immune to the frightened condition.

Celestial Authority. The Optio can issue divine orders telepathically to up to 50 allies within range, coordinating their movements like a single radiant phalanx.

Actions

Multiattack. The Optio makes three Solar Pike attacks or two Solar Pistol attacks.

Solar Pike (Melee). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage.

Bonus Actions

Mark Priority Target. The Optio chooses one creature it can see within 60 ft. All allied attacks against that creature have advantage until the start of the Optio’s next turn.

Reactions

Shield of Command. When an ally within 10 ft. is hit by an attack, the Optio can cause the attack to miss by granting a flash of divine light, imposing disadvantage.

Description

Lore

The Celestial Optio are the platoon leaders of Mount Celestia’s radiant legions — experienced warriors entrusted to lead multiple fireteams in the name of divine order. Their title comes from ancient celestial tongues, echoing the Roman optio, who served as the right hand of the centurion, maintaining formation, discipline, and morale in the heat of battle.

They are not commanders who lead from behind — Optios stand at the front, spear raised, their radiant voices carrying the will of Celestia to their platoons. Their presence inspires, protects, and drives their warriors ever forward against the darkness.
