They'd exist on 2 because if you try hittng them from say the Plane of Fire then their existence shifts to the other planes it's on, it's always shifting between those 2 rather then being in the current one plus those 2 (So if it's in the Prime then it shifts between it and the Plane of Fire while it shifts in another place with the Plane of Fire and what ever plane it's on) or at least that's how I understand it; The Prime example is more so the Prime being unique which often happens in D&D
Yeah, but the scan seems to say they're SIMEULTANEOUSLY on however many planes they exist on plus one.
It even explicitly says:
"So creatures which require attack of a +2 or better magic weapon then exist in three planes simeultaneously, and so on."
& Elementals need +2 weapons to hit?
Thus, aren't Elementals on THREE Planes?
Neither of those scans mentions them shifting between only 2, & the second scan, which does comment on their... "planar plural-positioning" nature seems to say it's on multiple planes at once, not going back & forth between two.
Where does them shifting between 2 planes come from, & why use it in combatination with this seemingly contradictory statement?
What's the problem here?
It has the ability in canon so it somehow did this, plus what's the problem with it being in a realm of positive energy?
I have no problem with it, I just assumed beings not native to such planes do not naturally exist there, & that something that's a pure embodiment of an element would not naturally occur on planes of unrelated elements.
So it confuses & surprises me that, say, a Fire Elemental (Be it Fire of a chemical reaction or magical nature.) would naturally occur on a Plane seemingly full practically exclusively, of Raw, Infinite life force energy.
Admittedly, argument from incredulity. I'm just surprised this is the case.
Are the Positive Material Plane & the Plane of Positive Energy the same place?
Technically speaking the positive energy plane is what gives everything life and active energy. Living beings being connected to it and healed from it is consistent.
Connected to & healing from it, but also existing on it?
I mean, I guess it makes sense that only some creatures exist in the "needs + weaponry to hit" way that makes them... "more connected"(?) than other beings?
