I can imagine a character willing to brave the danger of the Beastlands just to say a proper good bye to a fuzzy friend.

So dogs DO go to heaven in dnd

@agsilverradio2225 5 лет назад

Domestic animals most often end up in the 7 Hevens of Mount Celestria, while wild animals tend to go to the Unspoiled Wilderness of the Beastlands. So yes. Dogs do go to heaven.

@wizardcat2232 5 лет назад

@williamcarlson6586 4 года назад

If my dog isn't in the heaven that I'm in, I don't want to go.

@km1dash6 4 года назад

I remember reading that Mt. Olympus is in Arborea, and that the mountain has a path to Hades, though I don't know how that would work. It would be cool if a party could only make it to Elysium, then took Oceanus to Arborea, scaled down to Hades to save a few souls before making it back home.

@Wildstag 7 лет назад

In 3.5, the Beastlands were the home of the mortal Outsider race known as Wildren, which were the descendants of dwarf petitioners (yeah, that makes sense) that have become very badger-like in their time on the plane, and especially their home on Karasuthra. Also, consider playing a talking animal from the Beastlands if you want to incorporate them! It's the perfect chance to play a Narnia-esque character!

@gravityman5319 7 лет назад

Maybe a beast master could go into the beast lands to recover them after they have died. That could be a fun adventure to run and would make sure they value there companion more

@dyland3r 6 лет назад

ultimate feels campaign, especially if the companion doesn't want to go back and would rather stay and rest.

@namekman01 5 лет назад

i was just trying to picture something similar for a rogue/ranger/assassin named Won Jick, where he goes to recover his dog after some (very dumb) criminals killed it

@valeclaw1697 5 лет назад

@@dyland3r and maybe the Ranger would want to stay with them lol

@TheeIronDuck 3 года назад

I love this idea

@Runsten_ 3 года назад

I was actually thinking about this. The Revised Ranger (Unearthed Arcana) beast master summons their beast companion with a ritual so it would make a lot of sense if the companion came from the Beastlands. There could be an interesting quest to visit the homelands of the companion to fulfill a deeper bond etc.

@glamourweaver 6 лет назад

I'm surprised no mention of Olympus. Before Arborea was called Arborea in Planescape, it was Olympus; and even in Planescape, the Elven Pantheon still split the plane with the Greek Gods (hence the Bacchae and Satyrs and the like being there). 3rd edition though pushed the "real world" mythological pantheons out of the Great Wheel cosmology for the most part.

@dagrhavarr8866 Год назад

It's also a highly morphic and potentially non Euclidean world as well as an infinite plane. It's prime real estate for gods and I personally always imagined that there were many more pantheons so far separated by distance and obscure spatial geometries that they'd never even interact or know about one another.

@linguisticallyoversight8685 7 лет назад

After extensive research it's has come to my attention that good aligned lycanthropes stay in their hybrid form not the animal form or human form well in the Beast lands

@Jorphdan 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. Where did you find this info out? I'm always curious :)

@linguisticallyoversight8685 7 лет назад

Jorphdan one of the older Forgotten Realms books talks about how specific followers of a deity I can't remember the name off hand are rewarded with that it's the reward of the hunt it's either the first or second edition God of the hunt

@PieterAdriaanvanderWalt 4 года назад

@@linguisticallyoversight8685 Selune is considered the Goddess of good aligned lycantropes, as well as of the moon.

@razzelmire2008 4 года назад

linguistically oversight 86 That’s odd. There is no good aligned god of the hunt except for one Elven deity in the Realms. Solonor Thelandria. The only other god of hunting is Malar, but he is an evil beast god of hunting.

@isaachaahr8691 7 лет назад

Well that is a campaign idea; leading safari tours in the beastlands

@Jorphdan 7 лет назад

I love it!

@JackCaliber 5 лет назад

I wish Arborea had a more iconic race. Chaotic evil Abyss? Demons! Lawful evil Hell? Devils! Lawful good Celestia? Angels! ...I mean, Archons! Chaotic good Arborea...? Eh... Bacchae? Not versatile enough. Eladrin? They're just elves! (Sometimes fairies.) Angels? You can find those anywhere! Just seems a little imbalanced.

@Runsten_ 3 года назад

Perhaps they could be Divine Elves. At least the DMG states that the elves in Arborea are considered Celestials. So now we should just come up with a unique name for a divine elf, and that could be the characteristic race.

@joshuac5191 3 года назад

I mean, it's elf heaven and the realm of the primary elven deity. I think it might be odd if there were something else special there other than eladrin

@mikhielbluemon4213 3 года назад

I completely agree. However these Elves are Celestial if that helps. To help distinguish them from other Elfs when I brought this up in a Pathfinder game, I gave them the Half-Celestial Template just to put my own mind at ease.

@user-vm9xz4kv9z 2 года назад

There's the Asura, Chaotic Good celestials who serve as messangers across the upper-planes, though they're not tied to Arborea.

@thinking-ape6483 7 лет назад

Stronmaus, Chaotic(Neutral) Good Greater God of Storm and Cloud Giants lives in the Beastlands. He is a fairly major power. Also from the Forgotten Realms deities, there is Milil, god of bards and music; trying to think off the top of my head but those are two that come to mind.

@ryanconrad2786 7 лет назад

Seems like the Feywild really steps on the toes of these planes.

@angelusumbra5741 5 лет назад

In the 3.0 / 3.5 edition of D&D, specifically in the Epic Level Handbook, there was a template called Paragon. It had a +18 level adjustment because it is so powerful. If one wanted to make stats for one of The Beast Lords, you could first scale them up one or more size categories, and then add that template to make a TRULY dangerous animal.

@Elektroschnitzl 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for another great video ♥ The only thing to add is probably, that the mentioned Grove of Unicorns is home to both Elhonna and Mielikki - intermediate, benevolent goddesses of nature and forest (but I guess you didn't mention them because otherwise, you'd have to name another hundred deities haha)

@Jorphdan 7 лет назад

Good info! Thanks for sharing :)

@BW022 2 года назад

@@Jorphdan Yes. Once did a Greyhawk module where druids and rangers held a hunt on full moon which was a portal to the Beastlands on the mid-summer full moons. Only once they stepped through the standing stones... they realized their 'guide' never said who the hunted were. Intelligent dire creatures really gives you a bad day.

@michela5902 5 лет назад

Just wanted to let you know Bacchae is pronounced Bock-kigh, like the composer Bach. It would be so cool to build a campaign around encounters with the Bacchae! In earth mythology (not sure about D&D!) the Bacchae were worshipers of the greek/Roman God Bacchus. While he eventually became a party god, he originated as a god of madness with strong ties to death and rebirth. Over the centuries he developed a trickster persona and was eventually fully transformed into a god of celebrations and wine by Alexander the Great. Theres a play by Euripides called "The Bacchae" that describes the worshipers in their chaotic and murder-y form. It's truly terrifying, and you should read it!

@Jorphdan 5 лет назад

+Riktus Loremaster never thought of it before. With all the editing i do I'm not so sure I'd be good at it lol

@rangerdanger585 7 лет назад

Jorphdan With the going rate of royalty payments? $50 minimum per hour from the author's pocket may not sound like a lot but with earning 30% from the publisher for each sell made. May not sound like much but it adds up the more audio books you create. Independent authors and narrators are just trying to get their names and stories out there plus build themselves a resume.

I personally haven't run a planescape game, I love the lore though. I'm getting loads of info from the 2nd edition and 3.5 Manual of the Planes. Probably a good place to start for general knowledge. The Great Modron March is a classic, can't go wrong there :)

Dinosaurs seem like they would unbalance the Beastlands unless they were confined to a particular area or there were giant versions of normal animals such as in Princess Mononoke. Also, would be awkward speaking to a talking T-Rex since all animals talk in the Beastlands. It would be best if they were on their own isle somewhere in Brux.
