Blessing
Every eighth turn, one random piece on each side cannot be captured for a while.
At the start of every eighth turn each side gets one blessed piece, chosen from the pieces still on the board. A blessed piece cannot be captured for five plies, but it can still be blocked, and it does not stop check from other pieces. Both sides are blessed on the same turn, so neither side gets a free tempo out of it. The blessed squares are marked on the board.

Stars set how often an augment shows up, not how strong it is. Rare ones swing the game, and that is the point.
