Specifically, I'm looking for a theme that fits my fluff. My Starblade is a Deva who used to be an astronomer in a monastery. When an enemy arrived, his world was being destroyed while the gods were unwilling or unable to to stop it. Rather than continue to trust in them, he petitioned the powers beyond the stars, who granted him the blade he needed to take vengeance on his foes.

I'd really like a theme that fits with the stargazer fluff, but one of the various psionic-flavored ones would work if I had to go that route.

I'm sorry, but what is a starblade? I never heard of them before.

Sorry, Hexblade with a star pact. I've been reading handbooks.

Ah, now I understand.

But anyway, here are some themes:

-Scholar (You mentioned the deva living at an observatory. I imagine there'd be some educational material there.)

-Seer (Star pact is pretty heavily associated with divinations and the like)

-Vile scholar (Is your deva evil?)

-Wilder (Seems like your best bet if you want a psionic theme)

Haunted Blade? Not only do you get Cha to initiative instead of the Dex that you probably shafted, it represents a degree of psychological damage from your world blowing up?

Haunted Blade certainly has some nice crunch to it. I'll either go with that or Scholar.
