It would make complete solar and lunar eclipses impossible (the relative size of the moon would be too small to eclipse the sun and too large to be eclipsed by Yrth). A perhaps better situation would be to add two moons, one 50% the size of the moon at 50% the distance and one 25% the size of the moon at 25% of the distance. The tidal effects of the second moon would be twice that of the first moon while the tidal effects of the third moon would be twice that of the second moon.
When the moons are full, psychic powers would become more erratic, adding +1 per full moon to the final result of the dice roll. When the moons are new, psychic powers would become more stable, adding -1 per full moon to the final result of the dice roll. For example, on a night with three full moons, a 15 would become a 18 while it would become a 12 on a night with three new moons.
