Nearly every Malhavoc press release has spawned some ideas that I have applied to the Realms, and when I was looking at Anger of Angels there was no exception. While I got a lot of ideas from it, one jumped out at me that I wanted to run by my fellow scribes.
What about a fallen Inevitable? We hear about fallen angels and the like, but we never hear about the "eithics primary" outsiders "falling." Obviously a fallen Inevitable isn't going to turn into a Slaad, but if its possible, what would happen to it?
Heck, for that matter, what would happen to a fallen modron?
The funny thing is that not only did I get an idea about Anger of Angels and fallen Inevitables, but I also was thinking about how to tie all of this into Chaositech, but I'll go into that elsewhere.
At any rate, thoughts?

Would that be like a rogue modron? What happens to them is explained in the Planescape lore.... Planewalkers Handbook I believe mostly. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| Nordom (haha, that's modron backwards) from the Planescape: Torment game is a really good Rogue Modron. |

"That attitude should be stomped on, whenever and wherever it's encountered, because it makes people holding such views bad citizens, not just bad roleplayers (considering D&D was structured as a 'forced cooperation' game, and although successive editions are pointing it more and more towards a me-first, min-max game, the drift away from 'we all need each other to succeed' will at some point make it 'no longer' D&D)." - ED GREENWOOD |

Thanks Kuje, I'll do some research along those lines . . . Nordom . . . oh my . . . I'll likely not name a "rogue inevitable" Elbativeni . . . although spelling it out it actually kinda looks cool . . .  |

For another intriguing example of a rogue modron... check out Trictacalus from "The Modron Judge" sub-adventure in The Great Modron March.

Yup Yup Planewalkers has two pages or so on Rogue Modrons. :) |

There's also a series of "rogue modron" tales over on planewalker.com that brilliantly portray their individual natures and aspects -- always good for potential role-playing ideas.
