A moon-based character.
I'm a League of Legends player and I love Diana, The Scorn of the Moon.
A video for those who don't know who she is:

I really wanted to reproduce a character who has the theme of the moon in more possibile aspects: spells, weapons, abilities, magic items, weapons.
Any suggestions?

Re: A moon-based character.
Shadowcaster (ToM) relabeled as Moon Caster wielding a Heavy Sickle (PlH). Maybe throw in a level or two of Warblade for some combat ability.

Re: A moon-based character.
Moonwarded Ranger? Moon Domain Cleric?
Knowing Diana... Ranger would probably be the closest thing? Getting the tepelort could be sorta difficult.
OH WAIT. Monk of the Dark Moon.
Monk of the Dark Moon/Moon Domain Cleric/Sacred Fist.
Sun School feat, Bind Soulmeld (Blink Shirt). Teleport as a standard action and bop someone in the face! Also pick up a Khopesh, it's her weapon and can be found in Sandstorm.

Re: A moon-based character.
You might want to look at some of the Dragonlance materials for spellcasting that is based off of lunar cycles. Handy dandy lunar calendar link.

Re: A moon-based character.
How can I relabel a class? It's a rule from ToM or it should be an adaptation?
I need to know in which manual are the following:
- Moon Domain
- Monk of the Dark Moon (is it a class or a PrC?)
How can a monk wield weapons?
With the combo that u suggest, will I be able to teleport in front of the enemy and attack in the same round?
What is Strong-Arm? A feat, a variant?
I've looked at this, seems great!
Can u explain me how to use it? I don't know the Dragonlance Campaign Setting.
Anyway, thanks to all of you! I'm not so expert about D&D, I still need to ask a lot of things and there is a lot of material!Last edited by Heilmut Von L.; 2012-10-29 at 03:09 PM.

Re: A moon-based character.
Oh that's perfect haha.
Um Monk of the Dark Moon is in Champions of Valor.
Moon Domain is in the same Dragon Magazine as Moonwarded Ranger I think.
Oh there also seems to be one in the Spell Compendium, not sure if they are separate though.
Sun School gives you a few tactical maneuvers, one being that whenever you automatically move from one area to another (ie: dimension door, or the monk's abundant step ability) you can immediately make an attack.
Edit: Also, a monk can ALWAYS wield weapons, the problem is proficiency . Just pick up Exotic Weapon Prof (Kaorti Resin Khopesh) and bam, you have a 1 handed weapon that has an 18-20 x4 crit, and can trip.
Orrr you may just want the Moon Blade spell from the Moon Domain.

Re: A moon-based character.
It's still a Shadowcaster you just instead call it a "Moon Caster", basically just like calling a Rogue a "Thief" or "Scoundrel". Nothing changes except the name. You could go one step farther in the fluff and say the characters gets its powers from the Moon instead of from the Plane of Shadows.

Re: A moon-based character.
Thanks for the Teflammar Shadowlord tip.
Strong-Arm is a variant that gives you a Two Hand Fighting over archery or two-weapon fighting. It gives Power Attack, Improved Sunder, and Great Cleave. It isn't amazing, but it makes more sense than archery or TWF.
Is it from Dragon #326? Sorry but it doesn't talk about the Two Hand Fighting... maybe u mean that those feats fit well for 2-handed weapons?
What # of Dragon? Thank u very much, lot of nice tips!Last edited by Heilmut Von L.; 2012-10-29 at 06:04 PM.

Re: A moon-based character.
In the DCS magic is provided by one of three gods, who physically manifest as the three moons that orbit Krynn.
Each of these moons provides the raw magic needed to cast spells to adherents / followers of the three orders (based off of the color of the moon): White Robes (good aligned), Red Robes (neutral) and Black Robes (evil!).
You draw magic primarily from your affiliated moon. Because all the moons go through regular cycles in which their faces wax and wane, so too does the power or relative ease of casting.
You could just base all magic off of one moon if you aren't using DCS, but it does add to bookkeeping. I don't really know if it would add anything outside the setting, since all the wizards would have the same limitations and enhancements to spellcasting, making it a moot point. Unless some evil villain uncovers a way to cast without relying on the phases of the moon.....Last edited by Agent 451; 2012-10-29 at 08:04 PM.

Re: A moon-based character.
(No flames, please.)
Warlock might work. Eldritch Blast for the ranged attack. Eldritch Glaive for the in-close. Come up with some nifty moom-themed invocations. Invisibility for flanking. Maybe pick up a couple Rogue levels for sneak attack. Sneak attack eldritch glaive large kopesh sounds nasty enough.
Aside: It looks like a kopesh, not a sickle, nor scythe. IMO"Rest in reason; move in passion." - Kahlil Gibram

Re: A moon-based character.
he's talking about this class which is actually illithid slayer, but they can't call it that because illithids are product identity

Re: A moon-based character.
Use Shadowcaster and then Teflammar Shadowlord 4 and then more Shadowcaster. The Flicker mystery gives you teleportation.
