I’m running a campaign with an alien invasion theme, which was inspired by a 3.5 prestige class from Complete Arcane called the Alientist. The description for this guy mentions a place beyond the planes where alien things lurk.

The great thing about this idea of a completely alien environment is that none of the conventional “knowledge” skills work to identify these creatures. I’ve used wisdom rolls for the players to guess at what functions their unusual anatomy has.

We already describe aberrants this way, the thing is that people forget what happens when that sense of wonder that comes from something u haven’t seen being described. This would also work well for combat, as they wouldn’t know what they were about to face.

The game I am currently running is all about a rebellion against a successful alien invasion. The aliens in this case are Rakasha and have held dominion over the world for the last thousand years.

I think in the next world i create i am going to try to strive to keep the non human races from being so human on the inside.
