[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1974494, member: 1129"] Well, what resoruces would Thay have to rebuild and protect itself? The use of undead has been mentioend several times. However, let's not forget that Thay also has access to various constructs. It's been a while since I checked Unarpproachable East, but I remember the old 2nd ed boxed set had all sorts of new golems and golem variants and I'm sure with third party material, many different types of constructs could be added. To move things further, how about transmuteers that decide it's time for survival of the fittest? Perhaps they unleash something on the land similiar to the creatures from the Miniature's Handbook as those are crafted creatures... The one's that look like a Tyranid rip off which was already done in the Book of Vile Darkness. Summoners might also try to work in elemental forces. Kossuth is still a big power over there right? Elementals might more in to act as more protection and resource than previously used. This doesn't take into account the 'evil' nature of most of these summoners as demons, devils and other creatures may be about as well to 'assist' in the rebuilding. Perhaps in the future, there will be more tieflings and other infernal creatures? What about some of the dimensional barriers being weakened by the damage the spell wrought? Be a good chance to slip in some unusual creatures or apply some off beat templates to some of the standard monsters. Since gnolls are one of the creatures often found there, perhaps some gnolls gain the infernal template that survived the rainfall. When looking at how the red wizards would cope, well, I can't imagine that some wouldn't just use the Wish spell to restore their favoed things like their private towers and perhaps armies. Heck, I can see some of them trying to wish their forces into another plane. Perhaps somethign that has to be returned by another group as the town is now stuck in that outer planar reach. I also can't see the gods sitting back. FR unlike some settings like Eberron, has the gods involved with a lot of day to day affairs. They might have saved some of their favored servants although since most of the gods there are evil, not in the traditional fashion. Perhaps they'll only stay alive if they stay in a certain area or have to ritually sacrifice others to their god to provide the life force that keeps them living? [/QUOTE]
