[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2183527, member: 18701"] Yeah but what do you think these weird & freaky planar beings do all day? Sit on a rock waiting to be summoned by primes? They have homes just like primes do. They have cultures and beliefs just like primes do. They have desires & families just like primes. That's what Planescape introduces to us. These planar beings aren't just creatures roaming a plane looking for food or sitting in a crazy citadel waiting for adventurers to explore it. Seriously, think about it. Being immortal would be a drag if you didn't "live" your life to it's fullest. They have communities and enjoy recreation just like any of us. It might be a strange type of recreation and community, but it exists. What you have to do is not think of it the way a mortal is familiar with it, or it will seem silly. Fiends don't sit around getting drunk at the bar in their city and act like fools by hitting on barmaids. But they will drink dwarf blood in a bar in their city while throwing sharp objects at a near-death mortal nailed to the wall as their version of darts. They gotta pass the time somehow. That's not the greatest example, but I'm just saying that thinking of planar beings as just monsters to kill or worship in person at higher levels is strange to me. Everyone says planar games should be for high level only, but why would you reduce a planar beings community to nothing but a Dire Rat nest waiting to be cleaned out? [/QUOTE]
