[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8423318, member: 7032025"] And that's cool, but once more, it does not mean the phlogiston ! You are aware that there is no phlogiston inside the crystal spheres, right ? And that his cover is actually not from inside the phlogiston, it's visible when you're there ! It means bad when it's retconning something that people love like Planescape, for once. And in the 5e, it's officially called Astral Plane, although there are a few words about the Astral Sea in there. But it is still "the realm of thought and dream, where visitors travel as disembodied souls to reach the Outer Planes." And the Githyanki are officially part of it: "Creatures on the Astral Plane don’t age or suffer from hunger or thirst. For this reason, humanoids that live on the Astral Plane (such as the githyanki) establish outposts on other planes, often the Material Plane, so their children can grow to maturity." As I've said, I love those and they were great additions. And I hope that you will understand that some people love Planescape much more than 4e... First, in a lot of game, D&D is not primarily combat. Second, combat is absolutely possible in the Phlogiston, it is just different (different is cool, right ?) just as it is different on the Astral Plane. Imagine the Phlogiston like Hyperspace and it will be better, combat happens a lot in Star Wars, you know, just not in Hyperspace... I can't access the video in my country, unfortunately... It's not. It's the dominant force in some crystal spheres, but not in the Phlogiston. I really think that you are making a confusion here. I think I can start by dispelling some of your misunderstanding of what the phlogiston is, see above. And I think that you have also a very mundane view of the Astral Plane, have a read through that section in the DMG, it's not physical... :) [/QUOTE]
