Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fieari" data-source="post: 2713424" data-attributes="member: 16221">I've made use of the preview quite a bit, but I can't quite say I've really -playtested- it so far.  Other than Quintessence Elementals and Unelementals, which were fantastic for the game (at the time, it was average party level 18, max character level 20).  I've used the Dire templates quite a bit, and shown the players glimpses of the higher level stuff.  Here's what happened.  They fought a polychromatic wyrmling, summoned by epic level mages who are ironically dominated by the leadership of a nation which has formed a symbiotic relationship with chromatic dragons.  This nation is at war with the country to the south, which makes use of magitech ala FFVI, but who happens to be running out of their primary resources (hence the need for the PCs).  After driving off several waves of adult and older dragons, the PCs (some of whome are specialized dragon slayers) were getting a little cocky until Mr. Polychromatic showed up.  I bumped up a few of the little guy's stats too, in order to give him a nice Blasphemy that was decimating the city's population.So the polychromatic was tearing up the party, who finally found a dragon they truely truely feared personally, not just feared for what the dragon could do to others.  They teleported away in ignoble defeat, and found the dragon was now stalking them.  Through judicious use of wish and miracle, time stop and some custom 9-th level spells they designed, they managed (at great expense, a couple levels lost in terms of XP expenditure) to only suffer one permanent death, and ALSO severed the divinity from the dragon, creating the quintessence elemental (smallest type).  The dragon flees for the time being.The quintessence elemental was actually quite nice, and the party more or less tamed it.  Which attracted the attention of some other dragon worshippers who desire the end of this universe so another universe that the dragons they worship live in can better prosper.  Thus, this cult made quite a few assassination attempts against the elemental, with the goal being to create an Unelemental.  They nearly succeeded a number of times.Unfortunately, what with one thing and another, this campaign was temporarily put on hold...</blockquote>
