Re: Father Illearth and King of Banefires but no Queen of the Celestial Winds or othe

When I say dull, I mean he doesn't evoke anything in my imagination. It'd be cool if he had a unique ability or something. I'm sure he makes for a great SC, but as a character I find him uninspiring.

Let's see, Lead shield, check, stymphalian wings, check, horror hat, check, antimagic amulet...

Yeah...

Magic resist runs @ around 35...

Scary tramplers...

Could we not have a Queen of the Celestial Winds, a Queen of the Elemental Air trapped in the celestial sphere, becoming a combination of Astral and Wind magic?

Or perhaps a Queen of the Living Water, a queen of life in water, trapped by the Pan to provide nourishment for their trees, and now 'corrupted' and fusing Nature and water magic together. I think those would both be valid combinations.

Limne could easily be repurposed to using Nature Magic, while Nephele could become the queen of celestial winds, lured to the realms by the music, and being trapped there.

I don't think we necessarily need to cover the other sorcerous paths. I think a Air/Death queen would be cool, what with the winds of death/wailing winds spells and all. Maybe she even onebattlespells one of them. For the water queen other ideas could be a Frozen Queen, a Queen of Ice - or a Rivers of Blood queen who is essentially blood incarnate.

Just throwing other ideas out there..

Re: Father Illearth and King of Banefires but no Queen of the Celestial Winds or othe

True. The Blood and Death paths are the ones that are most thematically prone to be corrupting influences and the Air/Death, Water/Blood would be more thematic in that vein.

Did you guys also know that for the four Academies of High Magic, the gem pairings are

- Air Academy: Air/Death
- Fire Academy: Fire/Astral
- Water Academy: Water/Blood
- Earth Academy: Earth/Nature

It would even be a match on that account... ;)
