[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6186651, member: 57383"] It's might be worth comparing the two in the description of the "Pass Into Reflection" ability, but the Plane of Mirrors in the 3E Manual of the Planes has a number of differences from the Plane of Reflection as described in [I]Tales from the Infinite Staircase[/I]. Among the significant differences are: [LIST=1] [*]The Plane of Mirrors appears as a bunch of stone-and-mortar corridors, Reflection appears as "mirror images" of reflections that beings in the non non-Reflection universe are observing. [*]Each Plane of Mirrors only connects to the "real world" via a certain number of Mirrors - no more than 20 usually - but Reflection appears to connect to normal reality through [I][B]any[/B][/I] reflection. [*]Beings in a Plane of Mirrors are subject to normal aging, hunger, and thirst. The kamerel were in reflection for millenia without getting old or needing to eat and drink. If we make kamerel Outsiders they don't need to eat or drink (unless we specify they require nourishment in the writeup), but they're still subject to aging. [*]Whenever a creature enters a Plane or Mirrors it creates a "mirror-self" of opposite alignment to them who immediately sets out to slay its "real-self" counterpart. The Plane of Reflection does not have that property. [*]Its unclear whether Reflection covers multiple planes like the transitive Plane of Mirrors or whether it's only a reflection of the Outlands. The [I]Bindery of Hallonac's[/I] ability to copy books from the entire multiverse suggests that Reflection might be a fully transitive plane though. [/LIST] Anyhow, the Pass Into Reflection ability is a thorny enough issue I think we need a proper debate on it. I tried writing up some SQ rough drafts, but they kept on ending up too complicated.
