//Rules governing [[Advent Classes]]//\\

Cleromancers use dice, gems, bone, yarrow, stones, shells, teeth and other tokens to determine their way forward in a chaotic galaxy. Binding their ki to their tokens and opening the Lotus chakra wide, they let their tokens free, casting them into the swirling chaos of the galaxy. Where others see chance, a Cleromancer sees order, letting their actions be guided by the grain of the galaxy. Their tokens select one of their ancient verses and they interpret and apply the verse to the situation at hand, determining the course of action that best follows the galactic currents. By following this flow of energy, the Cleromancer avoids spending unecessary energy on struggling against nature

Cleromancers can be nomads drifting among the stars, advisers to great leaders, or seekers looking to uncover the grand mysteries held in the corners of the galaxy

===== Casting lots =====
Several Cleromancer abilities require the player to cast a lot. In the game world, the character will accomplish by throwing their tokens and determining the result. In combat or in a time sensitive moment, this is often achieved by throwing the tokens from one hand to the other and quickly observing the result, possibly even while performing another action

The player must roll 2d6 in the real world to determine the result of the lot. Each die yields one of the trigrams from the table below

^ Die Face ^ Trigram ^ Name  ^ Class ^ Action Type^
|  1  |  ☲  |Water |Hydromancer  |  Yen  |
|  2  |  ☰  |Nature|Desimancer, Any class    |  Strong Yin  |
|  3  |  ☱  |Earth |Petromancer  |  Yin  |
|  4  |  ☵  |Fire  |Pyromancer   |  Yan  |
|  5  |  ☷  |Self  |Martial, Self|  Strong Yan  |
|  6  |  ☳  |Air   |Aeromancer   |  Yen  |

When using a lot to generate a hexagram, roll two dice to generate two trigrams, and use the table below to determine the resulting hexagram

\\
===== Hexagrams =====
When casting lots, you generate two trigrams, which make a hexagram. This can be used to determine the classes to which the bonus applies, or it can be used to find the verse that the player needs to interpret. Below you can find the verses and information associated with each hexagram. Roll 2d6 to determine the resulting hexagram
