There are some great ideas here that will be quite useful in my campaign right now...

Feb 16, 2008 13:17:31 Yeah, I love that article, although I might suggest a few modifications to it, like substituting Myhriss for Ehlonna as the Flan goddess of spring. It seems unlikely that Ehlonna cares for and raises Obad-Hai to adulthood every year, considering how poorly the two get along. It's not impossible, though - it's kind of amusing to think that Obad-Hai's antipathy toward Ehlonna is a psychosexual Mommy issue.

I didn't like the suggestion that Procan created the wind gods just to accommodate the Old Faith, either. I'd rather assume the wind gods already existed, and Oeridians simply substituted the gods they already knew for the seasonal deities of the Flan.

Feb 18, 2008 1:50:34 I thought the Ways of the World was kinda interesting, but redundant... don't druids already have the spell transport via plants that accomplishes the same thing??? I guess the Ways of the World is for lower-level druids to make use of...

*cough*

Such a reference probably would not fit the RPGA and WotC standards for content.
The unrated version is . . . unrated. ;)

Feb 20, 2008 3:44:18 Well spotted! I will have to tweak that part in my notes.

I think Hildefer Paravis was originally cited as a druid of Ehlonna too, although when I checked my notes I couldn't see that in her description. I think it was probably an assumption on my part since From the Ashes only mentions druids of Eholnna as being a power group in the Gnarley. Certainly I never had her as part of the hierarchy of the Old Faith before.

The only old faith druids I have are the ones in Gold County, Jaroo, his aspirant Yundi, and a few others in the Suss Forest. Kella (from ToEE) was a druid of Ehlonna too.

Great article though. I am going to use it.
