Message: <blockquote data-quote="Omegaxicor" data-source="post: 6076846" data-attributes="member: 95351">I remember reading somewhere there were signs of the apocalypse, like a meteor shower or animals going insane, it was in one of the books an old 'lost' friend had because I have looked through all of the books I have, briefly, but can't find it. Does anyone know what books they were from?EDIT: @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6674868" target="_blank">RUMBLETiGER</a> wow, where to start, the triple posting is due to the problems they have been having with the server, I assume, because I have had trouble with the server acknowledging that I am logged in, it says I am and then I try to post and it says "The Token has expired" or "You do not have permission to do that" or some other pointless message...yours is arguably better, at least you postNow to answer your many and thought provoking questions <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />1) Motivation for doing things, Survival? or maybe Money...without divine magic to heal them, living becomes difficult.2) Schools of Magic take the place of Churches, people hunger to know more because the more they know and understand the better they can control their environment.3) Completely gone, maybe some traces but Druids are as desolated without Obad-hai or Ehlonna as Clerics4) Why, that's a problem at the moment, I am thinking that they believed like the Ur-Priests that they didn't need to worship the gods to have divine powers (it does say in the PHB that "A cleric can worship an ideal rather than a god") or maybe technology caused people to think that they didn't need divine powers, and that gods didn't affect anything. I was thinking that this Plague of Unbelief (which wasn't what I remember reading when I looked it back up) might be a symptom of the coming doom to ensure the gods cannot stop it. I need to work on that, I know5) Secret Cults, I don't know, I guess so but not enough to power the pantheon6) The Gods have always been banished from by worlds, if they can walk among their faithful then they are demigods and not gods, but they have sent signs and have sent visions but without the general faith that is common in most worlds they are unable to act, unable to act causes less people to believe in them...7) see above8&9) Nature grows naturally but less and less "vibrant" ex-druids have spoken out that Nature feels the coming doom earlier than Man (Man is all sentient Humanoids) and is trying to communicate this but since something has stopped Obad-Hai and Ehlonna from communicating and prevents the use of spells like "Speak to Animals/Nature" then there is only so much Druids can gleam. The Dead are drawn to the Astral Plane to wander for all time without being guided to their resting place, Demon and Celestial forces are taking notice but haven't done anything...yet10) Planar Travel is unaffected, I think you asked because in most games the deities exist ON the outer planes, in my games the gods exist in another dimension which cannot be reached by mortals and have no physical body unless they choose one.as for @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6669384" target="_blank">Greenfield</a> I would like to see what he has come up withEDIT 2: yea the more I think of it the more I like the idea of it being a sign of the coming doom, and some have begun to notice the effects, less being born into each generation (after 150 years there have been what, 5 generations) but too few seem to think it is a problem, Kinda like Global Warming in many respects <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
