Celebrity (Level 3)
You gain proficiency in the Performance skill. Additionally, you gain a bonus to checks using this skill equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).
Starstruck (Level 3)
You can cast Charm Person as a level 1 spell without taking Radiant damage. When you cast it, the target doesn’t have Advantage on its saving throw as a result of you fighting it. Additionally, a creature that has the Charmed condition due to one of your Martyr spells regards you as a celebrity and is awed by your presence.
Entourage (Level 6)
You gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal to the number of creatures with the Charmed condition within 30 feet of you, to a maximum of your Wisdom modifier.
Crowd Suggestion (Level 14)
You can cast Mass Suggestion without taking Radiant damage or expending a spell use. Once you cast the spell with this feature, you can’t do so in this way again until you finish a Long Rest.
Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting and the spell can target up to 100 creatures within range.
Superstar Sanctitude (Level 18)
Your unparalleled stardom grants you the following benefits.
Reactive Sanctuary. When you use your Reprisal, you can cast Sanctuary on yourself without taking Radiant damage or expending a spell use as a part of the Reaction.
Superstar Aura. Each Large or smaller enemy that ends its turn within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or have the Prone condition.
