You can't argue your moral worth with a tornado, nor bribe it with food nor treasure, nor hope it fails a morale check, nor run from something with that kind of movement rate. In context, it's pretty horrifying.Joshua L.

I prefer the Paracelsian elementals to the D&D "blob of element," though. I'm also fond of para-elementals (in the D&D and Fritz Leiber sense) and as Zak pointed out in the post where he disses plain elementals--para-elementals are in so ways more evocative.<br /><br />I like a lot of your ideas here.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935484436602082601.post-44959959805328345452012-02-15T07:24:01.577-05:002012-02-15T07:24:01.577-05:00You're going head to head with Mikey over elem...You're going head to head with Mikey over elementals?
