[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3785406, member: 4937"] That assumes that there is such a thing as Oxygen, and the answer to that is rather up in the air when you've only got four elements. Don't assume that you know how things breathe when they come from a universe with only four elements. It certainly could be extremely hot. It could also be near absolute zero. But both of those would be 'border regions' near to one elemental plane or the other. Even though the border regions are infinite, they can be considered infinitely smaller than the planes themselves, so the odds of arriving in one by accident are effectively zero. That however is somewhat beside the point. Since the DM is almost always determining the point of arrival, its very easy to assume that the prevailing local conditions at the point of arrival are whatever the DM wants within the broad framework of possibilities allowed by each of the planes. So, for example, the PC's could arrive near a cluster of floating islands of rock connected by a network of tropical vines, even though floating islands of rock are supposed to be extremely rare and the encounter location is effectively unique.
