[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8952838, member: 6802378"] In the real History there were slave armies, for example the Janissaries and Mamluks. How could I explain what I mean with any example? Let's imagine a movie or a teleserie where the FBI agents have to stop a terrorist group who wants to use a biological weapon. Years ago this could be normal in TV or in the cinemas, but after the Covid epidemic, this now is not wellcome, almost taboo. Maybe they fear the defense of the Nature could become soon an unconfortable treat by fault of "ecocidal terrorism" ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecocide']ecocide[/URL] is an accepted word in the English languange) and the hypocirte "false prophets" whose jets spent a lot of oil to go to conferences where they tell us we have to reject our cars. Or the stories about Nature destroyed by industrial pollution are censored in Russia and China because they are alluded to. My new suggestion is to create, or update, the prestige class "Blighter" from 3.5 the complete divine. This should work like a playtesting of the future defilers. And other point is if in the end WotC update the psionic powers... somebody could say this or that 3PP had got better ideas..(and he may be right). If we want a DS with psionic powers we should await a years since an UA playtest about psionic powers. * Even if living constructs PCs don't need water or food maybe they suffer some psychological need, for example positive social interactions. You can't imagine the emotional damage when you suffer a depression. It is as if your sould couldn't recover the lost energy. * Now I am imagining the end of the blue age wasn't in the way we were told. Maybe accidentally a group of strange creatures appeared from the sea, something like [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyo']Junji Ito's horror manga "Gyo"[/URL] or the sheens, the biomechanical horrors from Dragon Magazine #258 and #270. To stop this menace the "Brown Tide" was caused like a weapon of massive destructive destruction, a desperate last resort, and or it worked too well, causing too much collateral damage, or it was sabogated by agents of the elder elemental eye. And Athas in the blue age was used as secret lair for several factions of chronomancers, time dragons and time-travelers. * How would be the impact of the end of the Blue Age in the Feywild and Shadowfell around Athas?

If this wasn't enough, this Athas was invaded by sentient constructs and infernal outsiders who used this Athas as new batlefield in the Blood War. Several centuries after this Athas became a demiplane next to the infernal planes. Later genies arrived and created "settles".
