[QUOTE="sparxmith, post: 1521222, member: 14838"] [b]Wide open[/b] IMC, planar travel is commonplace at the higher levels. And this is set in the Forgotten Realms. I have one character playing a Mul from Darksun and another playing a rogue from a plane that she's currently writing a short story about. I've read the story, liked the plane, and allowed the character. I have a hard time imagining that the Simbul, Szass Tam, Elminster, and others wouldn't spend at least part of their time exploring the Planes to grow just a little more powerful back on their own. Why would I exclude PC's from doing the same thing. I enjoy, nay, RELISH high fantasy and high magic. Planescape and Spelljammer are the ideals I live for. But then I was weaned on V:tM, and cut my teeth on Mage. I love roleplaying that involves power beyond the control of the characters. Not because I like being a Rat Bastich DM, but because I like the potential for awe and wonder. Anyway, there's my two farthings, Sparxmith [/QUOTE]
