    That thumbnail reminds me of the pillar of fire from the book of Exodus, also seen in the Prince of Egypt. Shout-out to Jeff Goldblum for voicing Moses's brother.

    Imix: "I rule the Elemental Plane of Fire!"
    Kossuth: "You really think that? You're adorable!"
    Archomentals are the Princes of the Elements because top-tier Primordials like the Elemental Lords of Faerun can be considered their kings.

    Been absolutely loving these Year of The Elements episodes!
    I've been figuring out ways to work dnd elements into an Irish myth-based setting, and since the ancient Celts were animists, this year is going to come in handy.
    Bit of trivia for an elemental myrmidon episode: Irish myth mentions the gods and other magical beings turning the elements into an armed host. So in a way, they have a basis in myth.

    it is interesting how the lore can make the planar subtypes feel different. outer planes dont feel like inner planes, which dont feel like material planes, which dont feel like far realm stuff etc etc. at the same time they have enough carry over that none feel out of place, at least not to much.

    It's not that Princes of the Apocalypse sucks, it's just very by the numbers running through dungeons with elemental flavors. So, great for a table that wants a simple, pretty on the rails adventure (you can even mix and match who the final boss is). But, if your table wants more roll play or intrigue, it's not for them.

  • @brianroberts783

    The "converting days to metric" joke reminded me that in Forgotten Realms, they kinda converted weeks to metric. Rather than 7 day weeks in FR, they use tendays, which is exactly what it sounds like.

    I know this is late but Imix is summoning Fire elementals with their maximum hit points so he burns 30hp to get a fire elemental with 156 each

    True story for the concept of a pit fiend avatar: I wanted the threat of a pit fiend for a level 11 party, so they had to stop it from coming through a portal. When they did, it blew up and reconstituted as the 4E immolith. I used the atropal stat block from ToA with fire flavor and salamander minions. It worked pretty well as a CR 11 pit fiend.

    Princes of the Apocalypse was written as something of an homage to The Temple of Elemental Evil. It has been reviewed negatively by most, but I am looking to add it to my library (a used copy so WotC doesn't get my money) because as you mentioned, it has cool stuff that I could take and use in my own campaign.

    • @pancakesyrup817
      @pancakesyrup817 Před 6 měsíci +2

      It has really good bones for a campaign to run. My players absolutely loved what I did with it.

    • @stephenclements6158
      @stephenclements6158 Před 6 měsíci

      I think with a bit of plot reworking, it will be just fine. As written, it's kind of nonsense.

    I had a real funny idea. Its technically possible to contain Imix in a bag of holding, right?
    Or other containment devices like poke balls.
    I dont know if it works on avatars or not.. But if it does! Then you could in a very challenging way, just keep Imix's avatar in your back pocket. Like the ultimate pokemon.
    Or would it be possible to open a portal and push or siphon him through it? And transport him to any other realm/dimension?

    Nice video, but for the record, the Plane of fire does have one overarching ruler that Imix answers too..that would be Kossuth, the neutral Greater Deity/primordial of fire, and the strongest being on the plane

      @@ReverseUnicorn I mean the lore also states the Efreeti sultan is scared of him, & the city of brass the second biggest city in the Great Wheel after Sigil, so in my head that establishes him as multiplanar

  • @bagaboo4746
    @bagaboo4746 Před 6 měsíci

    The elementals are stronger the simpler the concept they represent is
    A heat elemental would be extreamly powerful as it was the first concept
    Then a fire elemental would be slightly weaker because the concept in more complex and could not exist without heat
    A smoke elemental would be another step lower due to them needing both heat and fire to exist
