A Dire Gila Monster would be cool. There's one in an old Conan comic (they call it a dragon), and it's really scary.Turjan said:Do they have the Painted Desert? Saguaros? Gila-Monsters ?

sandstorm said:Eventually, adventurers gain the ability and the desire to travel the planes, enabling them to brave the perils of lava-filled regions of the Elemental Plane of Fire, Baator's hoary layer of Stygia, or any other plane of heat and sand.
sandstorm said:However, magical black sand is a vile peril, whether on the scoured surface of Minethys in the Tarterian Depths of Carceri (where the Plane of Shadow overlays the Elemental Plane of Earth) or in lands cursed by foul magic.
Saeviomagy said:The problem is that without that feat, there should be no cold mages in the frostfell, because tactically it's far inferior to being, say, a fire mage. Or if the DM has put in some "fire spells don't work well in the frostfell", an acid mage. Same goest for the desert - when half the monsters you meet will be immune or resistant to fire and heat, a fire mage seems a really stupid choice.
Finally... I do not think that confer means what you think it means. I think you were perhaps after consider.
Shemeska said:Wow. This one makes me wonder. So whoever is sitting here listing out hot places on the planes goes and picks the one layer of Hell that is the posterchild of cold and wet. Alright I think, maybe they might have been talking about Set's domain in Stygia; afterall that's certainly hot and sandy. One problem. Even given that, whoever wrote that apparently doesn't understand the meaning of 'hoary', and hells they just wrote a book on cold places that used that dang word every other page.
Ryltar said:No, actually I think it does ... haven't looked it up, but usually "confer X" in this context is abbreviated with (cf.) and means "compare said things to X" or "look this up under X for further information"..
