[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3784399, member: 35788"] I think you point to my reasoning later in your post. It might power spells. It might be the home of elementals. It might be the place where _____ energy comes from. A lot of the need for elemental planes depends upon if the DM takes the time to flesh out the world enough to explain certain things or if the DM just assumes if the stuff is in the rulebooks it happens because the game isn't RL. In any case, I totally agree that if a place isn't intended for adventuring it doesn't need a great write-up. With this (especially the homes of genies, etc) I would hope that WotC would do the smart thing and seperate the elemental planes from an alternate material plane focused on a certain type of energy. For example, Salamanders might come from Firopia (or whatever) that is like an alternate material plane with magma lakes, breathable air, flame trees, etc. But these should not be the elemental planes ... they should be an alternate plane.
