That's awesome.<BR/><BR/>The need for iron will and control over summoned elementals is a two-edged sword, in my opinion. It's a great thing for keeping the power of PC-controlled elementals in line; but on the other hand, it makes it stupidly easy for the party to turn an elemental against an NPC magic-user. This requires more mulling over on my part, I think.<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>“Air Elementals: They can turn into a whirlwind which will sweep all creatures under two hit dice away…”</I><BR/><BR/>Horribly irreverent I know, but as soon as I read this I couldn't help but picture a broom (of solid air?) extending from the whirlwind to sweep critters and characters away ...<BR/><BR/>I should inflict that on players some time. It should confuse the life from them *grins*taicharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213053468697534564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-5097785583370833862008-12-10T05:19:00.000-05:002008-12-10T05:19:00.000-05:00"they tend to be Chaotic."An interesting..."they tend to be Chaotic."<BR/><BR/>An interesting point, as Elementals, Invisible stalkers (who are non-dimension dwellers, but don't seems to be linked to air element yet) and Djinns are not even listed in the alignment list - as if they were non-aligned. The idea of elemental planes being neutral is an ad&d'ism<BR/><BR/>It also seem there's a contradiction about the number of elements, as the dragons resistances to element suggest they could be somewhat linked to elements and lightning is in the list. <BR/><BR/>For the french clone, I considered lightning to be the fifth element - it open a wide place for its use in sci-fi sword& sorcery mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
