IDK. A strength based ranged attack is a nice back pocket option for a martial, and focus spell healing is always valuable. Most martials don't have access to good AoE damage either. AoE Demoralize + Dazzled at 8 is pretty good too. So is an almost unconditional fly speed tied to your land speed.

It's really only Blade of the Heart that's a total dud, since all it does is save you a little gold.

I mean, it's not bad, but most of the abilities are tied to the transformation. The strength ranged attack is nice in a pinch, but a 1d4+1 doesn't make a good case vs just using an action to move closer. The focus spell healing is nice, but the AoE damage is tied to low proficiency, meaning most enemies will end up making their save. Lv8 is bonkers, I give you that. Flight is not so good when you take into account that there are better ways to obtain permanent flight rather than using a class feat.

Again, not bad at all, but it does feel weak, especially in contrast with other archtypes. But flavour-wise? I love it!

I love the Starlight Sentinel! It's very flavourful, so it is a shame it feels rather weak mechanically. But for flavour alone (or if you manage to reach lv 8), it's amazing.

Cultivator is another I like, but I feel that it may not work in all campaigns.
