Editing Petitioner

{{dnd-stub}}

Whilst the term "'''Petitioner'''" is a legitimate old-timey term that basically means "a person asking a figure of authority for a favor", it has a more specific use in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] and thus on [[/tg/]]. Introduced in the [[Planescape]] setting, Petitioners are the lowliest form of [[plane|Outer Planar]] life, representing the spirits of the deceased in their respective afterlives scattered throughout the [[multiverse]].

Now, the specifics of things like appearance vary depending between the [[plane]]s, but the basic concept remains constant. Petitioners don't really remember their mortal lives all that well, without divine intervention or extreme attachment, and basically exist to carry out an existence based around their specific planar location - depending on ''where'' the sods ended up, this will ultimately end at some point with either their transformation into a true planar being, such as a [[fiend]] or an [[angel]], or their total subsumption into the essence of the plane itself or their chosen God.
