Mythic Vistas: SpirosBlaak - Property Is Theft!

76
Alignment
Mentors are generally neutral, leaving maers of morality for others.
Still, they have a deep respect for the laws of the land, acquiescing
to the dictates of the local governments. In fact, they are extremely
careful not to overstep the bounds of legality.
Mentor Lands
Although not exactly welcomed in most instances, mentors may
be found in most cities, save Nolmedron where their presence
is forbidden. Mentors have no land to call their own beyond the
legendary crystal city of Nyrskrill, nestled somewhere within a
foreign mountain range far west of SpirosBlaak’s borders.
Religion
Mentors rarely worship any gods. Which isn’t to say they don’t
believe in them, but they tend to be more logical than they are pious,
leaving lile inclination for paying homage to divine powers. Those
pious mentors embrace the path of Logothos.
Divine Heritage
The mentors have no divine heritage.
Language
Grays rarely communicate openly with one another, as they are
telepathic. When they do speak among their own kind it is in
Undercommon, a language virtually unknown on the surface. Most
mentors know Common as well.
Names
Mentors have two names, one chosen by the parent, while the other
the community prescribes during a coming-of-age ceremony. The
laer is most oen a descriptive title, such as “Thoughtwind” or
“Mindstorm,” whereas the given name is a flowing series of hard
and so syllables that almost sound musical when verbalized.
Common Names
Zwyvarkeeds, Naddewnook, and Anweezkown.
Chapter Seven: Races
Adventurers
Mentor adventurers are uncommon but not unknown. Their
scholarly ways mean most mentors stay at home in their
laboratories and libraries. However, most at some point do some
“field work” with a party of adventurers. Wizards, psions, and
monks are by far the most common mentor classes, with rogues,
barbarians, and clerics being the least common. If the campaign
uses Green Ronin’s Psychic’s Handbook, adventuring mentors also
take up the psychic class.
Mentor (Gray) Racial Traits

mentor’s body and social skills both tend to suffer from its
scholastic ways.

their size.
• Mentor base speed is 30 feet.
• +2 racial bonus to Concentration and to three Knowledge skills
of choice.
• +1 racial bonus to aack rolls against aboleth and drow.
Mentors have a standing hatred for these creatures, going so
far as to develop combat tactics with which to combat them.
• Naturally Psionic: Mentors gain 1 bonus power point at 1st
level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest
powers unless they gain that ability through another source,
such as levels in a psionic class.

• Telepathy (Su): Although they can speak, mentors prefer to
communicate telepathically. Their telepathy’s range is 100 feet.

Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Goblin, Orc, and Terran.
• Level Adjustment +1. See Chapter Six: Characters in the DMG
for details on playing a level-adjusted character.
• Favored Class: Psion. A multiclass mentor’s psion class does
not count when determining whether it takes an XP penalty for
multiclassing (for details, see rules for multiclassing in the PHB).
• Allowable Divine Heritage: Mentors may not take either of the
Divine Heritage feats.
