see said:Why get rid of the old ones, unless your goal is to change things purely for the sake of change?
My hope is that the cosmological changes will excite players and actually encourage DMs to set adventures in these far-flung locales.
I'm guessing they're going to end the whole "infinite expanse of pure [element]" bit. So, instead of the the Plane of Earth being a whole universe of dirt and rocks with a few random pockets of other elements--a world only a xorn could love--it might be a titanic cave system.Badkarmaboy said:Like 95% of the stuff put out by the Devs at this point, this is a bit unclear as to what as happened to the Elemental Planes. My gut reaction is that there are still Elemental Planes-but like Chris said, they're more open to "exploration". I'm not sure how they intend to accomplish this.
Mouseferatu said:Um, why does "change" equal "killed," to you?
Masquerade said:I find your choice of the term "killed" ironic since this is the first confirmation we've had that the elemental planes still exist in 4e.
We're making revisions to the cosmology so that the planes work better as adventure sites.
