The universe sings and only those with a keen ear can hear its song. This cosmic resonance, the “symphony of the planets”, is a powerful universal force that guides everything from the orbit of planets down to the movement of quarks. This resonance lets star rangers eke out small mystical feats that let they survive for another day. Star rangers have a natural wanderlust, as the “call of the universe” is strongest in them, and are constantly traveling. Because of this they are the ultimate improvisers; adapting to overcome any obstacle with a huge bag of tricks.

Star rangers can listen to the unspoken song of the stars and, as their training progresses, can interpret it to mean certain things. With time, training, and practice they can learn a lot about a city simply by spending a few days in it studying its song or see the heart of a desert world by interpreting the spiritual noise it produces.

All star rangers have a natural wanderlust, brought on by the call of the stars, but not all embark on journeys for the same reasons; star rangers are as diverse as any group of people. Some travel to hear all the songs of the universe, some to get rich, some to offer aid in universal causes, some as an expression of their faith, and some to stay one step ahead of the law.

A star ranger is, at its core, a character who has options. They have skill points, bonus feats, adaptations, spells, etc and because of this they either have just the right tool for the job, or can find it in a few minutes. Secondarily they are about exploration and information superiority: they know what’s going on and where it’s happening before anyone else does.

They are always seasoned, confident, characters with a bevy of useful talents and knacks that some in the party may lack.

Relationship to Other Classes

• Envoy: An envoy may benefit from a star ranger’s presence and guidance but they don’t often interact beyond that. Star rangers tend to do their own thing and envoys are more interested in working as a team. They both “read” things; envoys do it with people and star rangers with places so this intuitive connection allows them to bond sometimes.
• Mystics: Star rangers are similar to mystics in that they are both aware of the will of the greater cosmos. While they may have spells and draw from the same list, they gain their mystical powers more incidentally, not as a matter of study and are never their primary focus. Mystics will understand the star ranger’s connection to the cosmos and can even bond with them over it. While star rangers may never fully grasp the mystic’s reliance on magic, they sometimes feel like they have a shared burden or interest.
• Operatives: Star rangers share some of the way they approach combat with operative as they try to approach things in a creative fashion rather than a straightforward one. Star rangers differ in that they tend to focus on survival and rely on their mystic abilities more than any particular piece of gear or social subversion.
• Solarian: A solarian and a star ranger understand each other as both are agents of the greater cosmos. A solarian taps into a different, more direct, sort of power while a star ranger has a more generalized and utility-focused approach to their utilization of their powers. A star ranger is to a solarion as a operative is to a soldier.
• Soldiers: Star rangers and soldiers understand each other but don’t often intersect; both regularly find themselves in hostile environments and have a focus on survival but approach it differently. Soldiers rely on their equipment and training while a star ranger accomplishes the same feat with hard-won intuition and mystic abilities.
• Technology Classes: Technomancers and mechanics are at odds with star rangers; they don’t have an overt reliance on technology but they can see the appeal. They will work together but may view each other with suspicion.

Spells (Ex) [1st Level]

You cast spells drawn from the mystic’s spell list. To learn or cast a spell, you must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your spell is 10 + the spell’s level + your Wisdom modifier.

You can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Your number of spells per day is given on Table 4-2: Star Ranger spell Per Day. You do not gain bonus spells due to high Wisdom. You can also cast 0-level spells; these spells are cast like any other spell, but there is no limit to how many 0-level spells you can cast each day.

Your selection of spells is limited. You begin play knowing two 0-level spells and one 1st-level spells of your choice from the mystic’s spell list. At each new star ranger level, you learn one or more new spells, as indicated on Table 4-3: Star Ranger Spells Known (The number of spells you know isn’t affected by your Wisdom modifier).

Every time you gain a level, you can swap out one spell you already know and learn a single new spell of the same level in its place. In effect, you lose the old spell in exchange for the new one. You must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time you gain new spells known for the level.

You can cast any star ranger spell you know at any time, assuming you have not yet used up your allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level. You can also cast a spell using a higher-level spell slot. For instance, if you want to cast a 1st-level spell but have used up all your 1st-level spells for the day, you can use a spell from a 2nd-level slot instead if you have one.

You can also decipher magical inscriptions that would otherwise be unintelligible or, as a full action, identify any spells encoded in a spell gem as a full action.

This does not normally invoke the magic contained within, although it may do so in the case of a Cursed or trapped spell gem.

Wanderlust (Ex) [1st Level]

You gain Toughness as a bonus feat at 1st level. In addition, you add 1/2 your level (minimum +1) to all Constitution checks to continue running, to avoid damage from a forced march, to hold your breath, and to avoid damage from starvation or thirst, on Fortitude saving throws to avoid taking damage from hot or cold environments, to withstand the harmful effects of thick and thin atmospheres, to avoid choking when breathing in heavy smoke, and to avoid fatigue caused by sleep deprivation. This bonus stacks with Toughness and is extended to any ally who has traveled with you for at least 24 hours, ending 24 hours after parting ways (allies without Toughness simply add 1/2 your level to such checks).

Adaptations [2nd Level]

Using your wits and a touch of mysticism, you’ve learned how to use your environment to adapt to various situations. At 2nd level and every even level thereafter you gain an adaptation from the list of those found later in this class’s entry.

Cosmic Resonance (Sp) [2nd Level]

A star ranger can plum the deepest heart of a location; be it a planet or town. Once per day you can take 10 minutes to listen to the heart of a place you are in and expend 1 RP to cast commune with nature. Unlike the normal spell you only gain knowledge of 1 subject (rather than 3) + 1 additional subject per 4 class levels. A star ranger who uses this ability also adds the following subject to the list of subjects they can get information on: general lay of the politics, kinds of people, and the pervasive attitudes (in a settlement with a sentient population).

Planet Totem (Ex) [5th Level]

Star rangers bind themselves to planets (or other stellar bodies) they identify with. They carry a piece of that song around in their soul at all times, keeping them mindful of specific things. Their spiritual connection with them always ensures they know the location of said planet in relation to themselves and it grants them a host of abilities linked to that planet’s archetypal spiritual concept.

Example: Paul Atreides from the Dune series might select “Arrakis” as his planetary totem and decide the “Mars” totem best represents it. He now bound to the spirit of Arrakis, making him ever mindful of survival and his location in relationship to Arrakis.

Star Ranger’s Onslaught (Ex) [13th Level]

Planet Totems

The names of the planets below represent an archetype for a planet. For example, an “Earth Totem” star ranger may not be literally bound to planet Earth in Sol system, but some other civilized world that has a large sentient population.

Black Hole-Type Totem

Black hole star ranger are destroyers, conquerors, and tyrants who make the music fit their message. They use the powers granted to them by the cosmic song to bring everyone in line with it and rule them. They are ruthless, all-consuming, and as destructive as their totem.

You gain a +4 morale bonus on Intimidate and Athletics checks.

Jupiter-Type Totem

Seeking perfection and danger, Jovian star rangers are daredevils who challenge insurmountable odds and come out on top.

Jovian Storm [17th Level]

The bonus from your Jovian skirmisher ability improves to a +4.

Lost Star-Type Totem

Dreamers, seekers, and explorers. Those are the kinds of star rangers who bind to “lost stars”. A lost star is some legendary or rumored place. It might be the lost homeworld of your race, a legendary planet that’s home to a great treasure, or simply a legendary place. While this totem is very abstract (something other star rangers smirk at) there needs to be at least a physical location the star ranger can be attuned to, even if it’s not the literal planet they are looking for.

Lost star star rangers have a tendency to be motivated by the search for something and are seen as a little shifty.

Seeker [5th Level]

Mars-Type Totem

You gain a +4 insight bonus on Survival and Medicine checks.

You gain a +2 morale bonus on all attack and damage rolls against aberrations and animals.

You gain blindsight (vibration) 60 feet.

Dire Wolf [17th Level]

The bonus from your lone wolf ability improves to a +4.

Solar-Type Totem

Solar star rangers are easy to identify. They are gallant explorers and crusaders for great justice who always have a cause they are crusading for.

They are impassioned by the song of the universe to accomplish great deeds in the name of some cause or organization. They can be found on the front lines of military conflicts against wicked foes, passing out flyers for an extremist environmental conservation group, or in back rooms plotting a revolution to overthrow a tyrant. Whatever they’re doing they’re always at the center of it and they are burning bright with their passion.
