[QUOTE="LPuff, post: 9062848, member: 7039279"] Before it releases at Gen Con, Paizo has given us the opportunity to preview the Air chapter of the [I]Rage of Elements[/I] and let you in on some of the new creatures, items, and spells in the book. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]289565[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The Air chapter in Rage of the Elements is divided up into five subchapters: Shifting with the Breeze, Elemental Lords, Air Spells, Air Items, and Air Creatures. [HEADING=2][B]Shifting in the Breeze[/B][/HEADING] The main part of this section is to give some backstory and story threads to players new to the Plane of Air. It introduces us to the Anemoi, powerful air elementals who live in the Universe and carry out important tasks given to them by ancient deities. If you want to travel to the Plane of Air, you will find portals at the center of the strongest storms. Once on the plane, you will be able to fly, even if you lack the ability on your home plane. Because the plane is so large, you may use the sky streams, flying mounts, and small airships to aid you in traversing the plane. But beware, air hides many secrets and dangers, including phades and pockets of dead air. Make deals and explore at your own peril. If adventure is in your blood, there are many points of interest on the plane to explore, from the wrecks hanging in the dead air to the twilight of Night’s Embrace. Visit the fortress of Grazulk’s Resplendent Fastness to fight giants for wealth and magical tomes. Or explore the abandoned Spheres where genies of wood have appeared.
