As Falkus (nearly) pointed out, Trap the Soul is an eighth level spell. It's therefore absolutely broken to allow Animate Dead to do the same thing. Trap the Soul is eighth level for a reason. Animate Dead shouldn't affect the soul at all, and shouldn't affect any spells that contact or...

In The Inner Planes campaign sourcebook for Planescape, the effects of radiation poisoning (though not necessarily the same explanation for it) are replicated in a region called the Glowing Dunes, which exists at the boundary between the Paraelemental Plane of Magma and the Quasielemental Plane...

I don't see any correlation between planetary mass and distance from the primary. Mercury is smaller than the Earth, yet it's closer to the Sun. Venus is about the same size of the Earth, but it's closer to the Sun, too. Jupiter and Saturn are far more massive than the Earth is, but they're much...

I didn't say that it was inconsistent; just that it was confusing. Whether it's a misnomer or not, it's still an alternate name, and your storyline rationalized it. In fairness, it's probably less confusing now than it was when Ed Greenwood first introduced the character. That's what...

So many examples of game designers with non-Encyclopedic knowledge of past D&D confusing things! Yes, Astaroth appeared in Dragon #28 as a devil. Yes, Ed Greenwood used the devil from that article in Dragon #91, changing his name to "Gargoth" but retaining Astaroth as an alternate name...

The Planescape Conspectus is basically just an ad that came with Dragon Magazine, and has no substantial new information. It's a bunch of images from Planescape products crudely Photoshopped together on a fold-out poster, with some explanations of what Sigil, the factions, and the Outer Planes...

Celestian, as patron of Astral travel, probably has some responsibility over souls that travel through his domain on the way to the Outer Planes. He's neutral (good tendencies, like his brother Fharlanghn).

You could use Allitur, god of ethics and propriety. He's not explicitly focused on undead, but the ethics of creating them would fall under his purview. I think of him as the Flannae judge of the dead, since Nerull is more about murder than judging people.

The pictures in this thread are "rogue" modrons, modrons who have fallen from perfect Order in the same sense that fallen angels have fallen from perfect grace. Regular modrons should be cleaner and more symmetrical. The fact that they're abstract Euclidean forms doesn't mean they can't have...

I discussed an idea like that earlier in this thread (lost, perhaps, within my vast amount of verbage).

Yes, of course. AGttPt = Races of Renown: Aasimar and Tiefling (A Guide to the Planetouched) AotA = Book of Fiends, Volume 2: Armies of the Abyss BCD = Beyond Countless Doorways BoBS = Bastion of Broken Souls BoED = Book of Exalted Deeds BoTR = The Book of the Righteous BoVD = Book of Vile...

The planar movements and conjunctions described at the beginning of the book work fine within the Great Wheel cosmology. They should be applied to every plane - for example, the Outlands are usually in conjuction with the first layer of the Abyss, but periodically either come into true...

Another possible tie-in between Planescape and Beyond Countless Doorways is to say that the demiplane of Faraenyl was created with the aid of Logicus from the adventure Doors to the Unknown. The two make a good pair - in Logicus technology works but magic does not (except for within the World...

On the Origin of the Nexus In the beginning there was the Rose; her buds and thorns made up the whole of the multiverse. Her blossoms were the blossomings of worlds; her roots and stems transversed all boundaries. From the Rose was born Aoskar, the Opener of Doors. The Rose was Aoskar's...

The only tricky parts are the places that would have to be in the Outer Planes, particularly Curnorost (the realm of dead aasimon) and the Ten Courts of Hell. Curnorost, a realm of misery and despair only accessible from the celestial planes, would probably be part of the Gray Waste, or possibly...

They look normal-sized to me. Did you try clicking on them?

"Rebus" is spelled wrong on pages 57 and 58 of Chapter 2. No alphabet mentioned for the yugoloth language, either.

Perhaps not. I just assumed it was the same.

Yes, it does. It still happens, albeit rarely. A petitioner could be kidnapped, or end up lost, or have a mission that's more important to it than its eternal existence.
