Shall a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?The elemental plane of air is a universe of glorious blue sky, pure air, and fair winds. 90% of the residents are invisible. This plane is most congenial to human visitors. Visitors can fly using magic, or choose a direction to free-fall. Arrows never fall, but slow to a halt over a few days. Elementals from this plane excel at creating destructive windstorms. Elemental servants from this plane excel at aerial reconnaissance, missions in civilized terrain, and kidnapping. Air genies are mostly a pleasant lot. Invisible stalkers and aerial servants own large estates. There are realms devoted to aviation. In the Third Edition, gravity is halved, so that all items weigh half as much, weapon ranges are doubled, there is a +2 bonus on climb and jump checks, a -2 penalty on attack, balance, ride, swim, and tumble checks, and falls do only 1d4 damage / 10 feet fallen. Select encounters from among the following:-- Job 15: 2

The
Ministry of Elemental Good -- Air Ministers
Wind is a symbol of the breath of life. "Spirit" comes from
the same word as "respiration". As the wind blows randomly
and mysteriously, so people have seen God's activities
as free and incomprehensible. Especially, the wind, the
sky, and the birds of the air are
symbols of freedom.
Air ministers preach on inspiration and freedom.
They often minister among the oppressed, as "liberation
theologians", and to prisoners seeking release and
rehabilitation. All air ministers know how to juggle.
They get a free proficiency in weather lore,
airborne riding,
or singing (player's choice).
