[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5376626, member: 82106"] Yeah, I was about to say the same thing, the outer planes are really the playground for epic. I've always flavored that as they are really difficult to get to in general, and it is not all that easy to find a gate to the material plane from outside either. That tends to help with the logic of them being crammed full of monsters that could eat armies for a snack. Unlike Aegeri though, I think I'd like to see more fleshing out of some of the existing epic races vs creating any new ones. Demons are probably all set, and Devils aren't doing TOO bad, but the rest are still pretty sketchy. We have a modest number of Efreet, a Djinn or two, and IIRC a couple of Marids. These elemental races could use a considerable amount of fleshing out. Titans are another area where not much exists, though perhaps it is a bit less clear there what to add that isn't basically a giant. The Feywild too lacks much of any kind of defined epic content. There are all kinds of personalities enumerated in MotP and I think ONE Dragon article basically, plus a few bits in Underdark. It would be great if it could be fleshed out a bunch more. There is a HUGE amount of room there with the different courts and various races and whatnot for some high paragon and epic stuff. Faerie has always been a pretty major part of European folklore too and for whatever odd reason D&D in general really tends to neglect it (heck it took 30 years just to get a land of faerie added to cannon). Lots of gold to be mined there! [/QUOTE]
