The Red Comet

Once every couple of years, a spectacular phenomenon occurs as a red comet streaks through the sky. The sheer speed of this wonder leaves most in awe, as the sonic boom can be heard for miles. However, this red streaking across the sky sometimes awakens something in the children that are born under it. Those born the day of the comet are blessed with arcane prowess, and speed to match the red comet itself. The coming of the comet also signals the rise in magic in the realm, as it brings arcane power from all the corners of the universe. This includes monsters, and this is a prime reason as to why people both fear and revere the comet.

Those of the comet live life fast, traveling from place to place and living life to the fullest. They are known to be brash, and risk taking as well. This lends well to their abilities, being able to zip around the battlefield, leaving their enemies in the dust they leave behind.

However, for some reason, children born under this are often seen as a bad fortune, so most parents abandon their children if they are of the comet.

The Red Comet Features Level Features 1st Of the Stars 6th Sonic Boost 14th Cosmic Velocity 18th Aspect of the Comet

Of the Stars At 1st level, your body has been irreversibly changed by the streaking red. Your speed is increased by an amount of feet equal to 10 + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, when not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Charisma modifier, as the cosmic energy around you provide a natural defense. Your speed is increased by an additional 5 feet when you reach 6th and 14th level. You also gain access to the Starstrike cantrip, detailed at the end of this subclass description.

Sonic Boost At 6th level, you learn to control the incredible speed trapped inside you into short bursts of amazing speed, creating a sonic boom. You may now Dash as a bonus action, and whenever you do, each creature within 10 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 1d6 + your Charisma modifier thunder damage, or half as much on a successful save.
