Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
Depends on your DM. The focus requisite is pretty much there to give him or her the final say on how much leeway the spell has.
There have been various concepts thrown around for it over the years; some people like the idea of needing metal from the destination plane itself, meaning that it has been brought over by a demon or other powerful outsider, or that a wizard acquired some via gate or other exploration. In such cases, the requisite material is extremely rare and must be acquired from special sources. Others pick Material Plane metals with a thematic tie to the destination - tungsten for the Plane of Fire, for instance.
Some planes will be inaccessible no matter what you do; it's literally impossible to plane shift into the Demiplane of Imprisonment, for example. There probably do exist materials for Dal Quor and Xoriat, but they are likely hard to come by and pursued fanatically by bodies with an interest in the accessibility of the plane in question (or continued lack thereof).Need a place to hang?

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
I suspected.
How would one go about resurrecting a Vestige to a physical form?
If Karsus was ever to be resurrected, would he want to ever use magic again? Or would he use his own Weave? (The Red Weave is what you called it right?)Need a place to hang? Like Discord?

Can you give me any more details about the Red Weave? It's effects, traits specific to it, etc.

Well, you could use a combination of Atropus' Restless Dead sign and the Horrid Blight sign, but it's not quite the same thing. It's kind of hard to corrupt something that's already destructive. Wouldn't be hard to develop a sign that does the reverse, however.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
The existence of vestiges is really kind of terrifying for the gods. It's an area that apparently lacks any and all divine influence, and it's not Sigil.
Basically, gods can accept limits on their authority when there's another god involved, someone stronger or more entrenched in the area in question. Or even another non-divine entity like the Lady (and I'm guessing plenty of gods still think of her as one, regardless of what she'd like).
But the vestiges? They're nobodies, and they don't have the protection of some powerful god or something like the Lady. The gods can't even see them (unless one feels like attempting a binding ritual itself, which seems like a phenomenally poor idea all around).
Fear of the unknown is very common, and for beings that are close to omniscient, it's even worse. Vestiges are the ultimate unknown.
Now add on the fact that Karsus was a serious threat to the stability of the multiverse itself before he was a vestige. Someone the gods didn't like before he became involved in the unknown.
So yeah, there's probably just about no one who wants him back.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
Are there any planes in which if you left it, time is different for the creature themselves?
Example:
Plane A: Beings age slowly, could live for 3-5 times their maximum age.
Plane B: Beings age rapidly, could live for 1/4 to 3/4 their maximum age.Path of the Nefarious: A Way of the Wicked Journal.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
Sigh.
The Time of Troubles was a special case and does not count as ''normal times''. In general, a god will never die on Toril or the Prime Material Plane at all. Simply put, gods don't go there, they just send avatars. And the death of an avatar does not kill a god. But if a god really did come to the Realms, or anywhere really, and did really, really die, then they would be dead everywhere.
Who ever said it was important? Toril is an attractive place for gods as there are lots of intelligent beings that can use magic to worship you. You also have a lot of fellow gods to play politics with and ally with and fight against. Any Crystal Sphere with an Overdeity will have rules, and most of the good Spheres will have them. Not all Crystal Spheres are equal, and chances are a ''rule-less'' one also has very little in it.
In general, no. The portfolio of a god on Toril, is not necessarily the portfolio of the god in the Planes. A god is free to have people worship ''different sides'' of them as they see fit.
Not exactly. When the Imaskari slaves were decimated by a plague, they opened some portals to another place and stole some new human slaves. The new slaves brought there faiths with them to the Realms.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
I do! But that is probably because I am tampering with forces beyond mortal comprehension.
The idea of Karsus being alive is funny to me. I suppose this can be traced back to my ideal that it is possible for a mortal to come out on top of a God. More or less, if Karsus ever comes back from being a Vestige he'll be wearing a shirt that says "I ruined a God's week, got away with it and all I got was this +5 shirt of awesome".
It makes me wonder: Perhaps the Lady is a Vestige that cannot be binded and has physical form? or the results of a Vestige regaining a physical form?Last edited by Arcanist; 2013-01-15 at 03:10 PM.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
I meant among in-character powers. There are likely plenty of mortals who believe they can see benefits from doing so. But among immortals, probably not so much.
By definition, a vestige has no physical form. If a former vestige returned to the real multiverse, they would no longer be a vestige. And the only reason why gods cannot touch vestiges is because vestiges don't really exist, at least not within the real multiverse. A former vestige would be a part of the real multiverse, and therefore perfectly within the domains of the divine. really, vestiges literally should be impossible; they are un-things that somehow still manage to have real effects in the real world.
If any of this were untrue, vestiges would not be nearly so worrisome.Last edited by Answerer; 2013-01-15 at 03:19 PM.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
I would assume this counts as a Planar question, dealing with a god and all that.
How does Olidmara view Ur-Priests? Personally, I'd think that the god of thieves would prefer that his/her divine power were stolen, rather than freely given, but I was wondering if there was a canon ruling on this?Open the lid and snatch a homebrewed treat from Cookie's Jar

Olidammara doesn't really consider it theft, or interesting. Ur-priests don't steal from specific deities; they siphon off divine energy in drops at a time from a multitude of sources. He views it as claiming you stole a glass of water from a pub by holding an empty mug out of the window in the rain. He might be amused if other gods grow annoyed, but in general ur-priests are too moody, secretive and insular for his liking.
What he does like is to have his followers tweaking other gods' noses by stealing from their temples. Big fan of that. Whole prestige class about it.Need a place to hang? Like Discord?

Are Fierna and Belial actually in a sexual relationship or is that just rumor?
What can you tell us about chole dragons?
Why don't exemplars take PC classes instead of relying only on their innate abilities? I can see powerfull exemplars like pit fiends and balors not seeing the need but what about exemplars like dretches?

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

It is possible that other planes (most likely the Outer Planes) could have fey of their own; however, the fey most prominent on the Outer Planes are the same kinds found across the Prime, arranged into two courts: the Seelie Court, which includes several sylvan gods and travels between the planes of chaotic good, and the Unseelie Court, ruled over by a goddess known as the Queen of Air and Darkness from a realm deep within Pandemonium. The fey have the most influence on Arborea, where the Seelie Court holds alliances and treaties of their own sort with other prominent pantheons (the Olympian and the Seldarine). Beyond that, the influence of the fey off the Prime is minimal.
If using the Plane of Faerie, of course, then fey are absolute rulers there.
It's sex. By definition it's squick.
Equinals are pretty equine... buuuuuut not really so much in the right way. Kirin are not actually celestials in 3rd edition, or even native to the Outer Planes. There was a planar creature called a tu'en rin that was basically a super-kirin, so that may be a candidate.
Really though, you're looking at a shapeshifted angel of some sort getting all Discovery Channel about how exactly Friendship Is Magic.
Please don't ask questions like this.Last edited by afroakuma; 2013-01-15 at 11:53 PM.

Re: afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)
Can you elaborate on this plane, please? I've seen it mentioned in a few source books, but never in a cosmology chart. Planar traits, location of the plane, power groups, how the denizens move to and from the plane without planeshift SLAs, interesting tidbits, and other other useful general information, specifically.
