Some of the old specialty priests are poorly translated 

with just multiclassing and feat choice. Some of them 

were such a grab bag of capabilities that it is difficult to 

see their core theme. Want to have some of those eclectic 

abilities and refocus your cleric on the driving themes of his 

deity? Then you probably want to enter into a prestige class. 

Here is one to take the place of Selûne’s specialty priests, 

the silverstars. 

Selûne: Silverstars 

Silverstars are dedicated advocates of freedom and tolerance, 

wanderers on the path of truth, and absolute foes of 

Shar. They seek to build harmony among lycanthropes and 

nonshapechangers, and they protect the weak and the 

oppressed everywhere. They cannot abide slavery, and they 

hate most undead. They rarely settle in one place for long, 

instead moving along when seized by wanderlust or enticed 

by a new cause or mission. Sometimes they receive visions 

and are seen as somewhat “touched” with prophecy by their 

closeness to the Moonmaiden. They deal with lunar energies 

and phenomena and are, to a limited degree, able to wield the 

power of the moon, bringing its fierce, pure white light to 

Toril to advance the goddess’s wishes. 

Clerics most often become silverstars; rangers are a less 

common choice. Selûne demands an individualistic outlook on 

life that is incompatible with the lawful nature of paladins and 

monks, and her passionately good and chaotic nature leaves 

little room for the balance a druid requires.

Class Features 

All of the following are features of the 

silverstar prestige class. 

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: 

Silverstars are proficient with 

all simple weapons, all types of armor, 

and with shields. Selûne’s favored 

weapon is the heavy mace, which silverstars 

refer to as the moon’s hand. 

Spellcasting: A silverstar continues 

training in magic. Thus, when a new silverstar 

level is gained, the character 

gains new spells per day as if she had 

also gained a level in a divine spellcasting 

class she belonged to before she 

added the prestige class. She does not, 

however, gain any other benefit a character 

of that class would have gained 

(improved chance of controlling or 

rebuking undead, additional favored 

enemies, and so on). This essentially 

means that she adds the level of 

silverstar to the level of some other 

spellcasting class the character has, 

then determines spells per day and 

caster level accordingly. 

Moon Spells: A silverstar can pray 

for and receive any Moon domain 

spell as if it were on her divine spell 

list. The spell uses a spell slot of a level 

equal to its level in the Moon domain 

list. For instance, a cleric/silverstar 

could pray for moonblade as a 3rd-level 

cleric spell, and a ranger/silverstar 

could pray for moonbeam as a 

2nd-level ranger spell. 

Lunar Sight: Silverstars have 

low-light vision. This is an extraordinary 

ability. 

Moon’s Hand: When a silverstar 

wields a heavy mace, she negates damage 

reduction in creatures she attacks 

as if it were a +2 weapon. At 9th level, 

it negates damage reduction as if her 

heavy mace were a +3 weapon. If the 

mace’s bonus is greater than the effect 

of this class ability, use the mace’s 

bonus to determine whether damage 

reduction is negated. 

Tears of Selûne: A silverstar can 

project small balls of luminescent lunar 

energy from her eyes as a dancing 

lights spell (torches or will-o’-wisps 

only) cast by a wizard of her level. At 

9th level, this ability can be used twice 

per day. Activating this ability is a standard 

action. This is a spell-like ability. 

Prophet’s Sight: A silverstar is able 

to see as if under the effect of a true 

seeing spell cast by a cleric of her 

level. At 8th level, this ability can be 


CLASS REQUIREMENTS

a character must fulfill all the 

following criteria: 

Patron Deity: Selûne

Silverstars who contract 

any form of lycanthropy

Shape feat (see the 

Monster Manual, page 

218) or the Scent ability

actions while in animal 

or hybrid form.
