Message: <blockquote data-quote="Haldrik" data-source="post: 8050222" data-attributes="member: 6694221">So, the "Avangion" is an epic (level 20+) transformation of a preserver arcanist, analogous to the draconic transformation of the Sorcerer king.Weirdly at least one official source fails to describe what this transformation looks like.[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mojobob.com/roleplay/monstrousmanual/a/avangion.html[/URL]It has a somewhat ambiguous illustration accompanying the text. This image looks more humanoid in a wingsuit, while other images elsewhere look more Thri-Kreen insectoid in a wingsuit.But the text itself seems to suggest that the form of the Avangion is made out of "light, water, and life-giving properties" (including plants?).Maybe for 5e Dark Sun, the proto-avangion can be a relatively straightforward divine Soul Sorcerer, with shapeshifting options to become liquid water or incorporeal light, with the ability to spout watery wings for flight?The avangion seems to be arcane, in the sense of being a Preserver. But it is ambiguously psionic as well, requiring psionicist levels. Likewise its affinity with the element of water and life, relates to divine. The magic source seems ambiguous. The 5e Dark Sun might do well to clarify its source, making it one, a choice of several, or an explicit blend.</blockquote>
