Special Equipment

Guardian Aura

Whenever a creature of Asteria's choice within 30 feet of her makes a saving throw, Asteria can give the creature advantage on the saving throw (no action required). This trait doesn't function if Asteria has the incapacitated condition.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day)

If Asteria fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Actions

Multiattack

Asteria makes two Radiant Blade attacks and uses Bursting Benediction.

Radiant Blade

Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) slashing damage plus 13 (3d8) radiant damage.

Bursting Benediction

Asteria causes a burst of magical energy to envelop one creature she can see within 60 feet of herself. The target must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 40 (9d8) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Asteria or another creature that she can see within 60 feet of herself then regains 10 hit points.

Spellcasting

Asteria casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 19): • At will: Guidance, Light, Thaumaturgy • 2/Day each: Bless, Freedom of Movement, Greater Restoration, Plane Shift (self only), Protection from Evil and Good, Revivify

Empowering Aegis (Recharge 4-6) (Bonus Action)

Asteria summons a spectral version of her shield, which orbits and bolsters one creature of Asteria's choice that she can see within 60 feet of herself. The spectral shield lasts until the start of Asteria's next turn. While the shield is orbiting the creature, the creature has half cover, is immune to the frightened condition, and makes weapon attack rolls with advantage.
