Those within 40 feet of a positive planar anchor are immune to the effects of positive-dominant planes including any hazards of the plane and can breathe the energy of the plane as if it was air. In addition, if the positive planar anchor is on a positive-dominant plane, anyone attempting to plane shift into the area protected by the anchor will always land on target.

Positive Flood:
You can make some magic items without spellcasting, via your life force alone
Prereqs: Life Force class feature, maximum life force pool of at least 150 points
Benefit: You can make some magic items with life force alone. You must still pay all gp and xp costs from making the item, but don't need the spell or item creation feat. You can make scrolls, wands and potions of any conjuration (healing) spell, so long as the level of the spell is less than or equal to half your mender level (round down). Some other items also say you can make that item with this feat as well.

Nice, I was always irked by the fact that the Plane of Overwhelming Life energy wasn't really worth living on, so providing means to set up shop there is a pleasant addition.

I'm building a whole world there at the moment. Some people from the plane, special materials for the plane, a city, a class. I have a creature on the way. Stay watching (there is a special spot in my sig), more is coming.

I like it!

That said, if those crystals are supposed to be 5-ft-sided cubes rather than flat, they should probably weigh more. A 5 ft x 5 ft x 5 ft cube of quartz will weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 tons.

They are in fact neither of those shapes. Think a crystal formation like this one (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Quartz,_Tibet.jpg), but larger and less clear. That said, the weight is a number pulled out of thin air, and it can be changed to no ill effect.

Just eye-balling it, that looks like it occupies between 1/4 and 1/8 the volume of a cube containing it, which would give the crystal a mass of 1 to 2 tons, assuming it has the same density as quartz. That's really just quibbling, though.

I look forward to seeing the rest - I love exotic settings. :smallsmile:

How much does a 5-foot by 5-foot white crystal cost? That needs to be included in the anchor's cost. I'd imagine it is not cheap.

Having just gone through and linking it, this is an issue. The materials would cost more then the item. Ironically, since I measure by weight the issue is I have stated the weight too high. As it is a fictional material, I can price it and set the density as I see fit. So, I need to run some numbers, and I'll get back to this.

EDIT: To solve this, the crystals have gotten smaller and lighter.
