Wholesome Fear
Liberation
The Para-Elemental Plane of Smoke is a
universe of smoke and
superheated gases. Without "fire plane protection" or the
variant "smoke plane protection", visitors will be burned to a
crisp at the rate of 1 hp/round. (Clerical "resist fire" only
slows this to 1 hp/turn). The smoke affects the unprepared like
a "stinking cloud". Air and
fire genies war here. Elemental
servants from this plane excel at thefts and robberies of all kinds. Try bribing the natives with "liquid smoke".
Some explorers
report a realm of sparks near the Positive Plane, and a realm
of corrosive fumes near the Negative Plane.
Spell keys: Inhaled vapors.

The
Ministry of Elemental Good -- Smoke Ministers
In the Old Testament, smoke rising to heaven from a barbecue
was an offering to the God. Incense used in liturgy
is a symbol of prayer. The prophets reminded the
faithful that this is a symbol, and that God really wants our
offerings to be our lives, well-lived. This is carried on
in the New Testament.
Smoke ministers are liturgists and
persons of prayer. They get a free proficiency in cooking
or fire building (player's choice).
