[MISC][RULES]: Planetors

Planetors
(suggestion for new astronomical body for 2e or 3e spelljammer)

Planetors are wandering planets devoid of a solar system or other "governing system", drifting in the flow.

Some Planetors, most in fact, break up and are eventually lost to sight
as they become intersystem meteors or rubble.

A small number however have an internal composition of a strange nature,
such as elemental rifts, an interior sun making the Planetor a hollow
world or a powerful god-given enchantment. These rarities wander the
flow as viable inhabitable or at least colonisable worlds, in effect
spelljamming bodies the size of small worlds. Internal heat and gas
escapes provide a surface that is extreme but not so hostile that life
is impossible.

Unlike the legendary space creatures which resemble meteorites or
planets, the Planetor is only a nonliving object, albeit one of
prodigious size.

A few Planetors are known to have a naturally occurring or artificial
ability to preserve an atmosphere that is breathable by humans and
humanoids. Most of these strange wandering worlds with a true atmosphere
already house surface or subsurface life, either native or panspermic.
In one case strange colossal obelisks on the surface of a Planetor
generate a force field powerful enough to preserve a complete world with
all the trappings. The disadvantage of the field for visitors is that it
shuts down Helms, permanently...
