Mystical Experiences
| d6 | Mystical Experiences |
|---|---|
| 1 | I realize now that I am but a lens through which the Beyond-Gods see. |
| 2 | I see now that nobody is truly unique; everyone is made up of the parts that make me, just in a different order. |
| 3 | I’ve seen the fabled Words of Creation, a vision of three great tomes beyond the heavens. |
| 4 | During meditation, danger, or a drug-induced hallucination, time slowed to a standstill and I could hear the Beyond-Gods playing dice with my life. |
| 5 | I looked up and saw a giant—a Beyond-God!—guiding me, like a great angel playing chess. |
| 6 | In dreams, I’ve walked with the gods among the planes and futures-past. Turns out, the gods are also but characters in a greater story. |

|---|---|
| 1 | When I care about someone, I invite them to meditate, exercise, or drink tea. |
| 2 | I believe in the doctrine of Epitheos Monastery, but their practices conflict with those of my homeland. |
| 3 | My connection to my Beyond-God is strong… But I dare not explain so to others for fear they may think me insane. |
| 4 | To procure other mystical experiences, I’ve obtained contacts who deal in rare poisons and decadent intoxicants. |
| 5 | Instructor Seylah took me under-wing from our first meeting. I idolize her sense of perfection. |
| 6 | As a child, Dreamdrop visited me in a vision and safely guided me to the Monastery. |
