Mystic of the Three Moons

D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules

by Henrad

After the Chaos Wars, when the gods were thought to have been gone, mysticism
arrived. All mystics used the power within themselves to perform feats of divine
magic. Certain mystics focused their abilities into the realms of interests and
fields of study attributed to the former Gods of Magic.

Each of the three Gods of Magic, in addition to sponsoring their Orders of High
Sorcery, also embodies and encourages certain ideals. Solinari the White, believes
in using magic to protect (protection) and maintain vigilance(knowledge). Nuitari
the Black uses magic to control beings both alive (charm) and dead (necromancy).
Lunitari the Red, views magic through eyes of illusion (trickery) and freedom
(liberation).

When the gods returned, some mystics being radiated power in one of the Moon Gods
lesser realms of concern often found themselves being pulled by and drawn to the
Moons. Some have even unlocked previously unknown power of mysticism by focusing on
the ideals and core values of the individual God of Magic. These mystics became the
Mystics of the Three Moons.

Mystics of the Three Moons devote themselves to channeling the example of a God of
Magic to unlock new powers with in themselves. A mystic of Protection might use
Solinari's teachings as a path towards new found powers of protection. A mystic of
Liberation might use Lunitari's support of free will as an example of how to unlock
new personal power. A mystic of Charm might emulate Nuitari's beguiling nature in
order to coax new powers and abilities from his soul.

While no organization of Mystics of the Three Moons exist, mystic followers of the
same God of Magic have been known to cooperate. There numbers are small and have
thus far not drawn the attention of the Wizards of High Sorcery, nor the Citadel of
Light. Whether this is happenstance, or the will of the Gods of Magic is not known.

Mystics are the most likely to take the Mystic of the Three Moons prestige class.
Rogues, bards, masters and nobles are the most common multiclass option.
Mystic/sorcerers are rare in the extreme.
Hit Die: d6.

ritualistic dance on the when her particular moon is at High Sanction. During this
week a Mystic may not perform any other function other than brief periods for sleep
and water consumption. At the height of the Trial, when her patron moon reaches its
zenith, the Mystic of the Three Moons complete an archaic ritual sacrificing at
least 5,000stp worth of precious stones. Followers of Solinari typically use pearls

honor Nuitari use onyx and/or black pearls.

the mystic fails either check she may try again starting a new Trial of Magic the
next time her moon is in High Sanction (one lunar cycle later). The precious stones
are destroyed on a failed check. The character cannot take 20 on this check, but if
the mystic makes a DC 15 Concentration check, they may take 10 on both knowledge
