[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 779391, member: 6929"] Rambling thought time! Inclusion of Oriental Adventures stuff, while it would be super cool, probably shouldn't happen because it's not SRD. SRD is the focus for this exercise, as I mention rather often, because you can create just about anything with non-SRD rules - I prefer to put a limit on tactical options. Plus I don't own OA :( And what's a maho tasuki? (But elemental priests are possible... just give a cleric elemental domains, maybe say they can only spontaneous cast from their domains instead of heal/harm. Quick fix. We're not using the Greyhawk pantheon here.) Which reminds me... clerical domains need to be defined. Preferably SRD domains, for the reasons cited above. Someone mentioned paladins. While the Stempan emphasis on religion and warrior culture would possibly produce them, a while back I mentioned something interesting arising from the initial skirmish between Cresia and Ta'jinn: jinn paladins. Demon hunters who seek out evil and smite it - is there anything more jinn? Honestly? They could well have developed from a tiny order (or group of people too small to become an order!) to werewolf hunters during the inevitable plagues after the Stempan War wound down. They could even have a cool name like the Demonbloods (so called because they shed a lot of it in the glorious past). Now the REAL focus: Ausel allies with the Formians. I LOVE IT! I never saw that coming, which is what this thread is all about, isn't it? However, I'm not certain they'd get to that conclusion quite in time to save everyone. I think the main Summoner city (and at least one dragon) would be enslaved before the rest of Ausel got its act together and presented a treaty, and that gives the formians a little more firepower... and they're not likely to give it back, are they? It's not a major blow for the Auselen (not more than 5% of their power), but it's something. Plus it sets up a neat dragonslaying quest for the mainlanders that could have serious politican ramifications if it succeeds... [/QUOTE]
