[QUOTE="countgray, post: 2780043, member: 18338"] I only wanted to answer Erik's question about the status of Larvae in 3e. They have been returned to Hades as they were in 1e. Larvae are only a specialized form of Hades petitioner in 3e. As for planar commitment, it is an official mechanic of the planes in 3e. I think it is an interesting rule, but have no "commitment" to it myself one way or the other. It is a rule that Erik will have to deal with when writing the codex. If they decide to toss out the rule that is fine, I just think it should be done in a considered manner, with forethought, and not by error or failing to notice that the rule exists. Also, I see no barrier to playing a petitioner as a character even with the "planar commitment" trait. It would seem a simple matter of introducing a [B]feat[/B] that overides planar commitment for a petitioner. Or the introduction of a [B]spell[/B] or [B]magic item[/B]. In fact, planar commitment I think could add some flavor to the game. It might be fun to try and defeat an opponent petitioner by doing a sunder or disarm attack on his [I]planar non-commitalisman[/I] to send him back to his home plane. You know, I actually have just convinced myself that I like planar commitment. It is a minor impediment that can add to the game by presenting interesting choices. It is easily overcome by a feat, spell or item. And it allows planar lords to keep petitioners in places that they don't want to stay, which creates drama and conflict to add to the adventure. I am all for planar commitment. :cool: [/QUOTE]
