Parlainth astral environment

Post by PiXeL01 » Tue Jun 27, 2017 5:46 am

I read through the Parlainth box set a while back but do not really recall anything about the conditions of Astral space.
Is it all corrupted or mostly tainted with corrupted patches?

Please excuse my ignorance

Personally, I would have it be mostly tainted, with pockets of corrupted, maybe with the occasional bit of open. (For example, Charcoalgrin might have enough magical knowledge, and have been in her lair long enough, to 'clean up' astral space in that immediate area.)

But, ultimately, it depends on the tone and style of game you're running.

Thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind as I design my players run into the Twists

Ah, the Twists. Where it's perfectly natural for there to be a noticeable trail of Open Astral Space that suddenly dumps you in a Horror's gaping maw.

Doing my homework to prep Parlainth for my players too. Thanks for this question.
