LOL I actually forgot to answer one of the literal questions I posited at the beginning of the video. Primers are immune to conjuration spells when in the inner or outer planes. Humans however CAN be born and raised in the outer or inner planes, and those CAN INDEED be summoned using a Conjuration spell.

So they can be summoned, but do they have the same dual-life as primers or do they reform on the plane that were born on if they die in the prime instead of becoming a petitioner? Edit clarification: two prime humans have a child in mount celestia and raise that child on the prime. This child can be summoned like a planar being but does it reform like one of it is killed or dies. Edit part 2: just remembered the reforming requires a Power’s investment in an entity. More appropriate to ask if said child would become a petitioner or go straight to oblivion. (Sorry for the 2 edits, I love your videos and the planes are a distinct passion of mine in this game)

An hypotesis about aberrations. It could be that aberrations are the opposite of outsiders and only have bodies, not souls, and thus their bodies remain because that's what they are. They could be ressurected because you can magically animate their body as it exist but you could only truly resucitate such a creature by literally repairing it's body and the damage done to them. This would be an interesting way to handle and rule aberrations, which makes them more alien to the D&D multiverse as well as somewhat more realistic from our real-world perspective (which is kind of a theme of aberrations, they are very plausible magical aliens).

Thank you MrRhexx! Your videos have really helped me take my DnD games to the next level. Is there any chance for a "what they don't tell you about goblins" video? I have a player who is slowly building up his own goblin crew by playing a goblin in every game we run.

Would definitely love a video about rust monsters, my favorite monster of them all (it just has a very strange biology) So many questions, like "does it feed on the impurities of iron ores or on the iron itself?", "How does a being gain nutrition from only iron?". My theory is that it is a silicone-based being, which feeds on the impurities of iron ores (like sand and clay), and evolution (or it's creator) made it relate the smell of metallic iron with food. It could have evolved/created as a way to deal with the excess steel armor and weapons left by dead soldiers (the Underdark has a history of bloody wars).

It's very interesting to derive lore conclusions from 5e edition There is actually a built in world that 5e tries (often poorly cus oversimplifying) to describe throwing in some new mechanics (such as the protection from good and evil which used to work very differently before) I really really like your content and i consider it very inspiring!

Question, if a primer dies in the outer planes what happens to their soul. Does it still go to their alignment-corresponding plane or are they stuck in the plane they died in?

12:25 5E art clearly shows the positive and negative planes around the other outer-planes

This is all incredibly interesting but also very complex and not fair from a gameplay perspective. I can't imagine having to single out the casters and telling them "oh by the way you lose 2+ levels."

Love your vids, man. Keep it up!

Absolutely love these multiverse related videos!

Love your videos man. I have several questions, if you don't mind helping me out. You can make a part 2 if you want, that would be great! 1) about the "key" in the protection from evil and good part... Can i use it to do what? It only works with that particular spell, or can i use that "key" from the plane of shadows to try perfecting and modify an illusion spell To make it quasi-real? 2) what's in the middle of the elemental planes? I mean, there is that image of a map that you sow but... Hipotetically, if i just kept walking in that direction, what would happen? Would i find a middle point between the 4 elemental planes? Would i teleport to the ethereal plane? or the material plane? Would i find myself in the outlands? And if i walk in the other direction, would i just fall from the edge 'flat earth' style? Where would i fall then? 3) the body and the soul of an outsider are one and the same... But what about demi-gods? Or half-angels? Does it deppend on where one was born or what? In this case, a unicorn born in the material plane would not be affected by the banishment spell, or can i just send it to heaven for being a celestial? If a human is born in mount celestia, would he have a body? 4) 10:30 “ the inner planes do not connect to the astral. The astral only connects to the prime and the outer planes, so if you were to cast a spell that requires the astral in the inner planes, the spell would not work... ”. Does this rule aply to gods as well? If a god wanted to cast "summon minor elemental" while on the astral plane, would he be able to do it? 5) demiplanes exist in the ethereal, and extradimensional spaces exist in the astral... How do these 2 things work inside one another? And since demiplanes exist in the ethereal, how does 'rope trick' interact with the 'etherealness' spell? I assume that 'rope trick' is just a part of the ethereal plane, so someone under the 'etherealness' spell would be able to enter the portal, but if he does, what then? The people inside would be able to see and touch him?

Since the 1st edition, the planes have always been difficult for me to follow, Thanks for making it a little easier.

I really can’t wait to learn more about the positive and negative entry planes.

I find it very interesting the idea of people and items gaining or losing levels of power depending on the plane they're in, mostly because I've never seen anyone utilize this rule before. I'm a DM myself and have never heard of this idea. It makes sense, and I've heard the idea of gods struggling to reach other places before in a more abstract way, but didn't know any mechanics were ever tied to it too.

Hey Mr. Rhexx, can you do a lore video about sentient magical items? Do they have souls? When destroyed does their consciousness cease to be? Can sentient items feel pain? At what level does an item become sentient? Ie: at +1 up to artifact? Are there levels of sentience comparable to levels of A.I. ie: local, general and super? Inquiring minds wanna know.

This will surely help my planar adventures, thank you Rhexx!

Ah cosmology is such an interesting discussion, everything being guidelines gives dms so much freedom to craft their own universes, yet quickly escalates with how things can become nested. For example 'space', as you mentioned in the video of what the gods fear, space is the nebulous all encompassing thing that surrounds the collective planes like a bubble separating the universes; however it twofold is just as mundane and invasive as the ethereal plane, as you can have planetary travel yet still remain in the material plane. Adding another spiraling layer to what it means to travel to another world: planets, planes, dimensions, alternate universes, split timelines, parallel realms. Interchangeable depending how your cosmology is structured, with drastically different magical and existential implications for each unique multiverse.

Quick DM suggestion. If you want to keep "#5 clerics are weaker the farther they are from their god" I would just give their character the extra base levels to even the playing field between the players. depending on the distance to their god during your main plane for the adventure. To continue the example of the Kossuth Cleric played in Descent to Avernus, who loses 2 levels due to the distance to his god: just give the character tow levels more than the other players. This will be fun for the player, as they get to make a "more well versed" character and the other players do not really get to complain as they will have the same power level for most of the game. If you plane shift to the prime, that player will have time to shine. In most cases this wont be too often I guess. And if it is at the end of the campaign you could have an epilog mentioning that the characters powers restored and he now can help the rest of the party with their problems. Maybe he will be a high-level NPC in the next campaign, who knows.

Plane of Time would be awesome for a video. Good job on this one, I liked it and am excited for the next one.

This video brought me indirectly to investigate the theorized 3rd transitory plane known under the name of the Ordial Plane, which would serve as a passage between the Inner Planes and the Outer Planes. Think of it as the connection between substance and belief, hence its surname 'the Plane of Proof'. This would explain many incoherences in the multiverse as is depicted here: if the Inner and Outer Planes don't communicate, then how do Outsiders use elemental magic? How can Devils hurl Fireballs all day, for instance? While this can partially be explained by the fact that the 'idea' of the elements is ingrained and strong enough in mortal minds that it finds its way into the Outer Planes even with limited or no communication with the Inner, Elemental Planes, the opposite is harder to explain: if they don't communicate, then how can you summon Outsiders while in the Inner Planes? Moreover, Fire Gnomes are said to originate from Bytopia where the barrier between it and the Elemental Plane of Fire is thinner. How can that be possible under the current model? Some also point out that its existence would iron out the flaws in the First and Second Rules of Planescape (the Rule of Three and the Unity of Rings). While it is not cannon, as it is never named in any official rulebook to my knowledge, its existence seems to be hinted throughout the several editions due to these incoherences and blanks. I wonder if you have any opinion on the matter? As a side note, I personally think it thematically fits perfectly with Psionics (Mind Over Matter), lol.

Good stuff, can't wait for the next in the series :)

I feel like I need a video on warforged and there origins there is so much good lore about them and there God which could be a great tools for dms!

This one was super interesting and I will be using this lore, tyvm.

From what little I can actually find, it seems that demiplanes can be attached to any plane. Ravenloft was a demiplane in the Shadowfell apparently, which is a reflection of the Prime and as you said, Shadowfell and Feywild are technically part of the Prime. I think the Demiplane spell that wizards can use to make a 30 ft cube room might default to the Ethereal plane, but the little 5e info I can find says they can be made or even exist naturally in either the Ethereal or Astral planes. I've also seen other sources saying the Mag. Mansion does actually count as a demiplane, and the demiplanes themselves are described as "extradimensional spaces" tho apparently somehow different from things like Portable Hole or Bag of Holding.

You might not make this connection but that is part of the reason that higher level spell slots are just not possible outside of the plane with which your source exists. 10th or higher level spells as a "conduit loss" are not attainable from those mortal in this instance. Just a bit of info I have used since the planes existed in D&D. Only sources can cast as normal and conduits have the impact of planer disturbances, conduits at range, planar balance. Fire through water looses power but fire through air gains if applicable. A fun mechanical and lore driven tool for use in D&D and beyond. Great vid. The balance of the universe by design.

Magic!! Sweet!! I got to use this more!

I hope you'll talk more about the planes, at least some of the most common ones. It's something I think is really interesting but also one the most confusing parts of DnD.

What 2nd Ed Planescape and the later AD&D publications did not mention is that priests (like clerics) have most of their divine summoning energies via their faith alone and that they can stop the reduction in their summoned spells by not caring where they summon the divine energy from. The adventure that had players delve into the Abyss and confront Lolth (the "Spider Queen", the Drow goddess) forces written decades ago addressed that. In her plane, spells malfunctioned a bit, they were subject to her Abyssal plane's chaos. Priest (mostly Cleric) spells first petitioned for her energy to be granted. She almost always granted them. Why? To deny such faith energy would cost more than it would to give it. Also, denying that would mean she would have to stop what she was doing and notice and pay attention to the mortals involved. Only sheer arrogance would give the most anti-Lolth priest (cleric) the idea that Lolth would not grant the spell's power.

Just for fun, on the mentioned thought experiment on whether or not warforged would have the silver cord, I think they would. This argument depends on one’s definition of birth and living, but at a point warforged usually become sentient and think for themselves, which in most movies/tv shows is enough to be considered alive. By proxy, if they are alive, then they were also born at some point, just like everyone else in the Prime, and would also have the silver cord

Whooooooa #5 is crazy! Definitely want to use this as a plot point.

This video has been very enlightening!

This has extrapolated an a difference I didn't have a great answer to before; what makes Arcane and Divine magic different? I think it would be great if D&D tailored Divine spells specifically to go through the astral sea to the upper planes, while Arcane magic went through the ethereal to reach the elemental planes. A strict difference between the types of spells a Cleric and a Wizard could learn would lead to a strongly reinforced lore in the mechanics of the game.

Haha the magic card: The Sword of Dungeons & Dragons! One of my favorite

All I need to know about realms is if you cast detect good/evil on the opposite realm your head explodes

There's a misconception about alignment: some people think of it as a moral or ethical compass that describes the creature's values and principles but instead it's meant to describe the creature's alignment with one of the moral or ethical axis, represented by deities. Therefore, when you cast detect evil doesn't have anything to do with being outsider but if that creature is aligned with the EVIL, a metaphysical forces that feeds even gods across the multiverse.

OR this could be why illithids freak out if the newly transformed mindflayer shows any mannerisms or idiosyncrasies of its' former host, as the soul has survived and remained intact, thus "tainting" the Elder Brain if it is subsumed by it after death. Also, remember *Alhoons* _(illithid-liches)_ are a thing, and from what I've read liches of all stripes bind a *_soul_* into a phylactery... Yeah, this whole thing is still a MESS. But I'm seeing more hints toward yes than no.

@@blackguard5883 I would agree that Illithids do, in fact, have a soul. Furthermore, that the soul of the inhabited body leaves just as if they died. For me the question is what happens to a Illithids soul when my cleric smashes it's skull in.

@@camerongunn7906 I only heard about her in passing in... I _believe_ it was the third edition monster manual. It was that or third edition Forgotten Realms book, but I THINK it was the MM. Beyond that I'm also in the dark. I'm not a proper Loremaster, I just don't forget the things I read about 95% of the time.

Have you ever considered getting together with runesmith? With your lore knowledge and his augmentations to the game I think you guys could create a great realms with the two of you and your resources

Super interesting, thank you!

depends on what you mean by realm exactly. Do you mean kingdoms, worlds, divine residences?

You said the Faewild (and I would assume the Shadowfell also) are technically part of the prime material realm. But from your previous video, I got the impression that the Faewild and Shadowfell are demi-planes within the Ethereal realm.

There was a moment I was startled, since I had this thought of creating a +3 (- +5) weapon to kill gods, and then I'd be embarrassed when I show up and it's just a normal +1 that can't kill gods. Thanks for the info. Though, I guess it doesn't do *ME* a lot of good since that is information my character would have to learn through means available to him in order to be useful.
