FR - Home Planes?

[Wraithdrit]

Amen to the use of Sigil. FR or not! I run an FR game (see the storyhour!) and would still love to use some of my planescape material.

With the current FR cosmology I could easily see Sigil existing as a Ravenloftesque subplane. I've never really got a good handle on the Outlands... so that might not even exist in my campaign. Alternately it could exist in the astral or ethereal plane, with special rules for why it does not follow those planes specific rules (I'd say because the Lady of Pain says so, berk!)

Rar! Planescape rocks. In fact, I've already told Will's player in my campaign that there is a rather complex plane travelling spell that in the Book of Eternal Flames (a minor artifact that he has). It leads to a citadel on the plane of fire. I've got that planescape adventure that had one, and always LOVED the picture of that citadel on the plane of fire.

I am so digressing. Time to hit 'Post Quick Reply'.

Amen, cutter!

Berk!

you aren't supposed to talk about it.

Faiths and Pantheons (as far as I can find) tells you Mystra lives on Dweomerheart. That's about it. Doesn't say that Dweomerheart is on Elysium or that the plane has X qualities or features.

As much as extraplanar travel and invasion is key to the Realms, you would think they might have covered that. Oh well, back to 2E.

 

[Wraithdrit]

And the FRCS states that Dweomerheart is the plane where Azuth, Mystra, Savras, and Velsharoon all live.

I'm not sure what exactly you are after, but that is a plane in and of itself. Planar stats and attributes could easily be put together. Obviously its a magic rich realm, so from there you can make whatever you like.

Because Dweomerheart isn't on Elysium. It's simply Dweomerheart. You seem to be missing what others have said - 3e FR doesn't use the Great Wheel cosmology like all prior FR materials.

What you're looking for is in the FRCS (the diagram of the FR planes) and Faiths & Pantheons (which FR plane the deity lives on).

Annnnd.... that's it. No details have been published on the game statistics for these new 3e FR planes (though, as a poster mentioned, there might be more info in that FR Player's Guide next year).

[And, as an aside, I dumped the 3e FR planes in a second - a completely ill-conceived idea, IMHO. I continue to use the Great Wheel.]

Amen, cutter!

Double Amen... *pulls at a stray strand of razorvine coiled atop head*

It's odd, I honestly don't know of a single person who runs a game in FR that actually uses the new (and seriously retarded) FR cosmology rather than the Great Wheel.

Probably thats telling in some way. Not that I expect it to change anything in FR, far be it from the setting to not be gorged on self importance and place itself at the center of everything. *eyeroll*

Toril is fast going to gain on Krynn as the homeworld of the stereotypical clueless at this rate.

 

[the_mighty_agrippa]

Sorry all, but I had to ask the obvious question of what plane most closely approximates Dweomerheart. The new cosmology is asinine and incomplete; never really stating that Dweomerhear is a sub-lane, sub-dimension, dimensional fief, etc.

I'll drag out my 2E material in the event my DM needs me to flesh out something for the plane.

Thanks.

Huh?

Huh?

What he said.

Giving a setting its own unique cosmology, as opposed to making it a carbon copy of the standard cosmology is an ill-conceived idea? Wow, you must not like diversity.
