Are cherubs even listed in Dnd?
And, anyway, aren't we coming up on the need for some good-aligned Spheres?
An anti-Imp breaking out stuff from the Bone and Carnage spheres...Well, that's just not something you want to see.

Re: Energy Mages
I am in awe, Frank.
Friends have accused me of pulling fun BBEG concepts and good names out of my ass, but Frank, you are pure amazing.
(Edit: Okay, the awe subsided some, and I have one question: Does Magnetism work on people wearing plate armor?)

You *do* get some aquifers out in rocky deserts. Really, if you're going to have a desert culture, rocky is the kind to do it in.

Re: Advice for an Icy Adventure
A lot can be done with some basic magic. I think there's a low-level druid spell--Goodberry or something like that--that can feed a person for a day on one berry. Clerics can make basic food and water. So you could say that the people have learned to adapt to the cold--mostly by dint of a lot of hun...
