Oh wait looking at another power's flovor text I think I found that can justify the star light would be necrotic damage, there seems to be stars in at least 4e that might give off dark/necrotic energy. As well the being referenced in the name Delban's Deadly Attention. looks to be a elder evil that is a far realm corupted star.
Edit: As well the normal star pact at-will power seems to also have the warlock calling down starlight from above.

Bambu should probably make a third thread now. There's only 15 comments left on this one

Also anyone mind helping me rewrite Asmodeus' summery? The Satan thing seems extremly non-canon. This is the best I got so far
> Asmodeus is an Archdevil and the current ruler of hell in Dungeons and Dragons. HIs origin is clouded in myth and lies. Ranging from a fallen Solar who stole a shard from the Abyss to kill his creator god to a primordial being who helped shape the multiverse itself. No matter his origin, his strength and intelligence allows him to rule the Nine Hells with an iron fist and his goals is nothing short of complete control of the multiverse.

@DMUA Its really, really, really weird. Basically every single D&D campagin world is actually a Dyson Sphere (at least in 2E and 5E) where the stars vary in what they truly are. Realmspace for example is 6.4 billion miles in diameter.
However in 3E and 4E the material planes were the standard "normal'" infinite universe type thing. So the beam would vary between 2,863x lightspeed (crossing 3.2 billion miles in six seconds) to some extreme degree of MFTL.

Actually wait, they're closer than I thought DMUA
Then he noticed a few stars were not like their sisters. They wavered and danced, as if their place in the heavens was unfixed. Seeing the inconstant lamps reminded Japheth of his purpose.
When he realized the irregular pinpricks of light were less like stars and more like windows piercing the sky, a tendril of nausea touched him. A fell radiance leaked from the portholes, and behind them, dread silhouettes huddled close, peering down into reality.
Somehow, perhaps by mediation of the Dreamheart, he knew the names of the stars.
There was Acamar the corpse star whose immense size sent other stars spiraling to their doom. Caiphon was the purple star, appearing in the guise of a guide point, but he viscerally knew it was capable of betraying those who relied upon it too much.
There was Delban with its ice white glare, cruel and bitter.
Khirad was a star of piercing blue light that burned over apocalypses wherever they occurred.
These stars and many more Japheth saw and recognized.
The warlock blanched. He saw where he had to go if he was to swear a new pact to the nameless entities whose lineage included the Eldest, though he was unclear of the hierarchy. If his broken pact with the Lord of Bats could be called a fey pact because of Neifion's home in Faerie, then he supposed the one he contemplated now could be called a star pact because the entities he courted lived far beyond the world.
-City of Torment pg. 184
Since their place in the heavens can visibly change every year/season, the stars should be under a lightyear away. That or the light is magical in someway. Either way they shouldn't be extremly far away, buuuut it is a bit of an outlier like you said. Although tbf once cast it cannot be dodged, just endured. So its no like anyone scale speed wise.

This one is reflex based but its also just a self-firing energy grab. So there's no speed besides scaling.
The bolt from the star itself however, is fortitude based. Meaning the person resists rather than avoids

Yeah the only way that one woulds scale to speed is the guardian's counter power from the guardian theme. and there seems to be a a level 1 encounter for the sorcerer that implies that you are pulling moonlight down on you target.
There is also a level 5 invoker daily power that claims to has the power call down "solor essence" onto there enemy
So At least at least few powers in 4e that might have at least SoL speeds, and I a betting there will be more at higher levels.
