Editing Inner Planes (section)

=Energy Planes=
Like the Elemental Planes, the '''Energy Planes''' (originally called the '''Material Planes''', and including the [[Prime Material]]) represent the fundamental forces of creation; Positive Energy and Negative Energy, or, more simply, Life and Death. This makes them amongst the most featureless and hostile planes in the entire [[Planescape]] cosmology, as the former overloads your body with energy until it disintegrates from the strain and the latter flat-out kills you. The Energy Planes meet all four Elemental Planes, creating four Positive Quasielemental Planes and four Negative Quasielemental Planes.

In 5e's altered version of the [[Great Wheel]], the Energy Planes are moved out of the Inner Planes, thus eliminating the Quasielemental Planes in the process. Instead, they lie to the extreme "north" and "south" of the Wheel, enfolding the entire multiverse and providing the raw forces of life and death that allows for existence to be possible. This edition stops trying to pretend that there's any point in going to either plane; it doesn't even bother describing them beyond a single paragraph on page 43 of the 5e [[Dungeon Master's Guide]].

==Positive Energy==
Originally called the '''Positive Material''' Plane.

The Plane of life itself. You heal at an astonishing rate here, and healing spells heal far more. You gain 2[[d6]] hit dice in extra HP... but once you hit double your normal HP [[Fist of the North Star|you explode into a cloud of gibblets because your body couldn't handle the energy]]. The blinding light will burn your eyes out if you're not protected and you can't breathe here, but any suffocation damage will heal as quickly as you suffer it. This is not a nice place to visit.

The only structure here is the Fortress of Life, a magically protected citadel built by the the planewalker Feadal Didam-Hurus. Feadal uses the fortress to store balls of concentrated positive energy called ''lifepearls'' that she harvests from the plane. A lifepearl has the combined powers of a ''staff of curing'' and a ''rod of resurrection'', and can be used 4d10 times until it explodes in a fireball.

==Negative Energy==
Originally called the '''Negative Material''' Plane

This place will decay and rot any living thing in seconds, and it can rip your soul out and turn you into an [[undead]] creature in mere seconds. Making your way around here is difficult and dangerous because of its lack of anything that's not soul-draining powers, which is made even more difficult by the hordes of incorporeal undead in the place and the fact that you can run into goddamn [[Shiva]], who's the only deity who drops by the place now and then. Some spots called "Doldrums" aren't quite as immediately lethal, but still shouldn't be stayed in for very long. 

The only friendlies here are a bunch of [[Dustmen]] maintaining the Fortress of the Soul, a skull-shaped outpost maintained only barely by their combined effort. If they find a lost non-undead on the plane they'll take them in for a few days: once a week a portal to [[Sigil]] opens up inside here and the lucky sod is sent on his way. 

The Dustmen also maintain the Court of Woe here. This courtroom built almost entirely out of desiccated bodies is presided over by a lazy Nalfeshnee who rules based on how he's feeling that day. There is really no point to it being on the Negative Energy Plane, as the court has no windows and no entrances or exits except for the portal back to Sigil.

In 5e, to make things even more complicated, any time someone enters the Negative Energy Plane, a shadowy monster called a [[Nightshade]] takes their place on the plane they came from as a counterbalance, and you can't leave the plane until your nightshade returns.
