[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8198606, member: 6915329"] I have to wonder about the monsters. Would they be based more in folklore, with more of an effort to get the folklore right? Or would they decide to make monster elements, like in Pokemon and other similar games, and then mash them together in weird ways. With certain monster elements being weak to or resistant against certain colors of magic... (Y'know, technically speaking, back in editions before the idea of monster advancement and just upping the Hit Dice of the monster, the orc was the "evolved" form of the goblin, and the ogre was the "evolved" form of the orc...) It might be more heavily influenced by the prequels. Unless the creators got creative with [I]other [/I]color names. Water could be turquoise (or aquamarine) for example, and metal could be gold. If Dragon Magazine were made, then one of their April issues would have the article "The [I]Other [/I]Magical Colors" and would introduce Pink and Eggshell and Aubergine magic. I've only seen a little bit of Witcher and haven't been able to get the books, but I was under the impression that it was more fractured fairy tales than D&D. At least that's what TV Tropes said. It might would have a very different name, though. Is there a name for wuxia fighters? Of course, it's possible that a wuxia fighter or kung fu fighter would just be another type of fighter rather than a whole class of its own. And ninja would be just another type of rogue and not a "shadow monk. " [/QUOTE]
