Just because something is written down somewhere does not mean that is how it must be done (planar effects as a main example) and by the same token if it isn't written down that does not mean it cannot be done.I'm a big fan of keeping it simple, and a bigger fan of using other's ideas as fuel for my own ideas.And when it comes to the process of the game, yes some things are good to work with as written while others become needlessly complicated.Change it to work for you and your group. You paid for the books (unless you pirated them) they're yours to do with as you see fit so get out the magic marker of the imagination and redact and add as you deem appopriate.Forget all this "one true wayism", and all this arguement about which edition is better. Frankly that kind of argueing is why I'm hardly on here anymore. This used to be a great site to come and trade ideas, but in the past year it has become less that and more a battleground for edition sniping.In the effort to change that I offer this idea for a planar area/feature:Stream of ConsciousnessMovement = 1d6 + Intelligence modifierAlthough inside a dark void, vision is relatively normal. Lighting seems to be uniform from all directions leaving no shadows.There is a mild haziness leaving things at range slightly undefined, though not enough to obscure. Perception at range is only reduced by minus 2 until what the person thinks they see is expressed and then the details become more defined.Example: Described a female with long flowing hair in a blue peasant dress and bodice holding something in one hand. Player mentions Ilsa the bar wench and sure enough, that is now what they all see the image to be.Take it and mold it to your liking and have fun!</blockquote>
