Advocate of the Six Transitive Forces

D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules

by Henrad

The Pantheon of Balance believes certain forces to be intrinsic to the drives of mortality. They delight in these self-evident forces and act to protect them from the concerns of morality. To promote these forces, the Gods of Neutrality established an order to advance and protect them, the Advocates of the Six Transitive Forces. Gilean's primary concern is the maintaining of Balance as a force against the stagnation of extreme morality. Reorx focuses on promoting Craft as a transitive force. Shinare, delights in the power of Trade to shape the world. Sirrion stokes the spark of Competition in the soul of each mortal. Chislev believes in Creation in infinite abundance and diversity. Zivilyn promotes Fate as a force of change in the world.

The majority of the Advocates of the Six Transitive Forces are clerics of each respective god. On occasion, mystics, druids, rangers, Coinswords, and Firebrands take the path of the Advocates of the Six Transitive Forces.

An Advocate of the Six Transitive Forces usually bears the name of the bonus domain they are granted. An Advocate of the Six Transitive Forces whose patron is Gilean for example, will be called an Advocate of Balance.
