elementals and half-elementals

it means you win the game as a magicker. your prize is storage.

Although I think Musashi's Bahak was made a half elemental for a bit...

Full Elementals get stored. Half-elementals are sometimes left in play. Their stats generally vary and at that point of time when you are made special, you are basically "near" storage at any moment. It'll be up to the situation and the imms how powerful you are, and the more powerful you become the more likely you will be judged 'too' powerful for the gamesetting and stored.

My half elemental didnt really have too much extra powers. Their mana regen was pretty quick. They had custom echoes, extra reaches, and if you look at them with enchanted eyesight, their mdesc and sdesc would be different, then if you looked at them with normal eyesight. The only spell that they might get that others wouldnt normally is planeshift.

It also somewhat depends on the times. The rules for half-elementals 'now' are probably different then it was then. I imagine then to be much weaker now. Before, during the Echri days, it wasnt ... uncommon that some element would take a fancy to some magicker and suddenly a Krathi ended up with levitate, or fly spell. But none of that is a common now, or probably ever going to happen again.

Is this some weird unlockable hardcoded subclass or just some rp thing

Was quick 1?

I don't think Nilaz has elementals. He could have been the Nilazi equivalent of what would have normally been an elemental from a more regular element.

edit: oh i just realized we all meant elementals in the sense of transforming into them, duh. oh well still cool to share.


I saw a log of a guy who was transported to what afaik was the plane of Nilaz. this was from back during the dragonthrall shenanigans. i'm going to move this entire thread over to spoilers after I get done because if half-elementals/elementals weren't in spoiler territory already then this is definitely pushing it.

Your surroundings fade away into a bleak grey haze...
A Winding, Stone Pathway [ES]
This extremely narrow pathway winds its way precariously around the
island. The path itself is made of slate slabs, each roughly square and
colored uniformly in grey. The edge of the pathway drops at a sheer angle
towards the depths of crimson lake which surrounds this island. The path
can only accomodate one average-sized humanoid, due to its narrow nature.
A thick, hazy fog envelops the island, causing the pathway to quickly
fade out of view.

To the south is a
Winding, Stone Pathway.
[Near]
A massive beast lies enshrouded in the mist, its mouth unnaturally wide.

East of here is a
Winding, Stone Pathway.
[Near]
A many-armed abomination with a snake's skin slithers through the fog.

y`ou look up at a many-armed, snake-skinned
abomination.
The body of this abomination is covered with black, snake-like scales.
Only adding to this comparison is the long tail slithering to and fro behind
it, making odd patterns on the ground here. Sprouting out the sides of it's
chest are an extra pair of arms, seemingly as strong and capable as the
'normal' pair. The rest of its features are feminine, with an almost
beautiful face if it weren't for the snake-like eyes, its very gaze
dangerously alluring.
A many-armed, snake-skinned abomination is in excellent condition.

It is carrying:
nothing obvious

It appears young for its race.
It is quite a bit taller than you.
It is over three times heavier than you.
A many-armed, snake-skinned abomination is in excellent condition.
A many-armed, snake-skinned abomination looks completely rested.
