[QUOTE="see, post: 8623120, member: 10531"] That assumes the only difficulty in spelljamming wherever you like on the Astral is knowing how to get there. That's entirely possible, but [I]we don't know that[/I]. Maybe helms only work in the "shallow Astral Sea" that only has access to various wildspaces. Maybe there's an Astral phenomenon that makes planar travel in spelljammers dangerous. Maybe the mental nature of the Astral that lets people direct themselves to color pools doesn't work to bring large inanimate objects along, so you can travel the Astral in a spelljammer just fine but you can't get to another plane from it. Maybe, well, [I]any number[/I] of ways that using spelljammers to go to the planes could be restricted, if the authors decided that easy planar travel would detract from Spelljammer as its own thing. If anybody's got an actual quote from someone in a position to [I]know[/I], that's one thing. Otherwise it's [I]all[/I] just a rehash of whether people personally happen to think WotC will set things up so you can easily take your spelljammer to the Outer Planes. The fact that it's the Astral [I]at all[/I] is a certain amount of evidence, but the specific tweet didn't serve as any additional evidence either way. [/QUOTE]
