Moon (LL)

__TOC__
==Moon (intermediate god)==
Moon, also known as Pah, is the sister of Sun. Her duty is to light the night, which she fulfills with regular but varying success. Her appearance is constantly changing, though she most often appears as a shimmering disk of silver. Hers is the power to light the dark, and to hold at bay the dangerous things which lurk in the night.
Role-playing Notes: Moon is particularly sympathetic to women, and is 10% more likely to answer a plea for help if it comes from a woman. Good omens from Moon generally take the form of a visit from her avatar, but she expresses her displeasure only by her absence. Moon rarely punishes individuals who have angered her, she simply severs their spiritual connection with her instead.
Statistics: AL lg; WAL any good; AoC light, protection, women; SY silver disc.
==Moon's Avatar (Bard 10, Priest 12)==
Avatars of Moon are beautiful women. In dangerous situations, they are each accompanied by 25 dedicated 3rd level warriors.

Special Att/Def: Any sentient male looking upon Moon's avatar must save versus spells or fall under her control. She casts spells as a 12th level cleric, save that all spells in the charm, healing, and protection spheres of sixth level or lower are available to her. Moon's avatar flies at the same rate she moves on land.
==Duties of the Priesthood==
Moon's clerics must meet all of the standard clerical requirements, but must also be females of good alignment. Moon discourages her priestesses from engaging in combat, but they may defend themselves with knives if attacked. Moon allows her clerics major access to the Protection and healing spheres, and minor access to charm and creation spheres.
She always grants her priestesses the power to create light within a 10' radius, and they are expected to keep a light glowing within their tepee or (camp) at all times.

==Sage Advice (Dragon Issue #197)==
Last issue, I promised to start giving unofficial suggestions for using the optional spheres of priest spells from the Tome of Magic with the deities in Legends & Lore. I'll work through one pantheon a month until they're all done. Here's the list for the pantheon:
* Moon: Major: Wards; Minor: Travellers, War.
