Planar Confusion


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I'm developing my own cosmology as a creative world-building exercise, and looking through the planar rules I noticed there was no strong/weak division on elemental traits as there are on energy/alignment traits. Is this an oversight, or do the elemental traits simply not have strong/weak versions?

Also, if elementals come from the elemental planes, what comes from the other Inner Planes - is there a Positive/Negative Energy equivalent to the elementals? I remember some kind of energy ball things from D&D that would rush at each other and cancel out, but was there a Paizo made one?

Appreciate the help!

(Also, working with 4 dimensional objects is hard...)

D&D had xag-ya and xeg-yi.

Pathfinder has jyoti and sceaduinar.

Thanks! I knew there was something I was forgetting!

Anybody know the first part - strong vs. weak elemental traits?

So far as I know they've never existed either a plane has an elemental trai which makes it predominantly that type of environment e.g. water or its an even mix e.g. our world.
