Hey guys!

So I've recently been obsessed with the idea of playing a Mystic. Kind of like a witch doctor type character, I think I have classes/build to follow (RP allowing) all figured out, however the only deity I can find that has shaman / mystic type followers so far is Uthgar, and I'm curious there are any other deities out there with heavy spiritualism/ nature mysticism involved that I don't know about. So I'm reaching out to you guys.

If this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it.

Mysticism is my absolute favorite. I play many of them, and many deities can fit the bill based on what you're looking for.

For example, deities with the Dream, Mysticism or Illusion domais, such as Selune, Sehanine Moonbow (my two personal favorites), Akadi, Mystra, Leira and Azuth are very workable in the ways of mystic chatacters. Deities sometimes also have castes of Oracles in their divine ranks, which I personally play my own as a shaman type character, such as Salandra and also Selune.

Shamanism in general, I can see working with just about any deity given that you make your own twist on practicing their divinity. But of course there are some gods that cater more to this mystic domain like the ones I mentioned above. Just takes a bit of research and finding something you like.

Check out the Magic of Faerun(And the books on teh different regions), Tome and Blood, Complete Arcane, Complete Mage, Complete Divine, Races of the Wild and Magic of Incarnum books, for within their pages you may find what you seek.

You can also check RL traditions too like medieval alchemy. Otherwise Complete Arcane, Complete Scoundrel and other books also have some ideas on the subject.

The newly added Ubtao would be pretty awesome I think. A Chultan witch doctor with the dark secrets of the jungle spirits.
