As the title say I'm likely going to be making a few changes to the planes for my next campaign. I'd like to get some opinions on the changes.
- Unlimited layers for every outer plane, not just the Abyss. Limbo might be an exception, as might be the Outlands. No guarentees you'd even be able to tell if you had gone into another layer anyway on Limbo. Most will be unknown, as they are in the Abyss, but there will be several more known layers.
- Olympus is a layer of Ysgard. The plane as a whole will probably be renamed.
- I don't like the Beastlands. It's strange that a plane of intelligent animals is good-aligned. I would rather the Animal Lords be on the Outlands. The whole wilderness theme isn't necessarily a bad thing, though.
- Increasing the importance of the Titans. Several deities were originally Titans. Several Material Planes, including the one where my campaign is set, were colonized by the Titans.
- Several others deities were originally Exemplars. These include the Seldarine, who were originally Eladrin. Lloth is an Obryith Lord, ect.
No real opinions either way on the planar changes, but I do have one specific question: why not have Lolth be a corrupted Eladrin under this system? She's usually presented as a former member of the Seldarine that broke from them when the Drow did, after all; she even has an old abandoned realm in Arborea in the normal cosmology. And there's some real pathos to be extracted from her having once been a celestial, I imagine.
