Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 7056436" data-attributes="member: 907">To the list of previous mystics, I'd like to add the Al-Qadim priest kit. They were essentially clerics outside the regular religious structure, and were able to learn weapons other than those normally allowed to clerics for twice the number of proficiencies (for those who joined in in 2000 or later: in AD&D you needed to get proficiency in each individual weapon type, e.g. footman's mace, longsword, light crossbow, and depending on class you'd start out with 1-4 of those proficiencies and get one more every 3-6 levels). They would also get bonus proficiency in Religion and one other skill appropriate for the meditation they needed to do to regain spells, e.g. dancing, star-gazing, or whatever. If they were unable to perform that skill, they would not be able to regain spent spells. Finally, priests belonging to more established religious orders were likely to dislike mystics, giving them a penalty to reaction rolls when dealing with these.So, which ones do we have now? I think these are in chronological order, though it's possible that Arabian Adventures pre-dates Complete Wizard's Handbook.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A class from a 1982 issue of Dragon Magazine, which I know nothing about.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Mystic monster/NPC that's all about unarmed combat from the D&D Master rules, later adapted to a proper PC class for the Rules Cyclopedia.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Wizard kit from the Complete Wizard's Handbook.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Priest kit from Arabian Adventures, meant for dervish-types.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Wizard kit from Red Steel, which is very similar to the Complete Wizards one. This one also has a psionic variant.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Priest class from Faiths & Avatars, with a focus on charms, nature, herbalism, and candle magic.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Dragonlance 3.5e class, essentially a variant of the Favored Soul. Based on the class from Dragonlance 5th age System.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The 5e version of the psion.</li> </ul>Any others?</blockquote>
