Definition of Traits

Trait	Description	Required	Valid Parameters
name	This is the name of the plane	Yes	any Proper Noun
gravity	Gravity types: Objective Directional, Subjective Directional, None, Heavy, Normal, Light	Yes	obj, subj, no, heavy, normal, light
time	Time types: Normal, Timeless, Flowing (different than normal, such as 1 year on this plane is 1 round in 'normal time'), Erratic (Flowing time, but the exchange rate changes randomly)	Yes	normal, timeless, flowing, erratic
flow	This trait is only required if you select the flow for your time trait. This describes how fast time passes on this plane vs normal time (1 year = 1 round).	Yes/No	equation of planar time = normal time
size	Size types: Infinite, Self (the plane wraps in upon itself, or a creature that reaches an edge is teleported to another edge), Finite	Yes	infinite, self, finite
shape	A shape you want the plane to be such as: Cube, Sphere, Globe, flat, circle, square or similar	Yes/No	any string
morphic	Morphic types: Alterable (normal world, items stay where they are put), Divinely (same as alterable, but a God can change the plane at will), Static (very difficult to move objects), Highly (Unstable & always changing on its own), Magically (only magic can mold the plane & move objects), Sentient (the plane changes of its own will)	Yes	alter, divine, static, highly, magic, sentient
morphicm	This trait is only used when you select 'magic' for the morphic trait. Here you should describe what magic can alter the plane.	Yes/No	description of magic
align	Align types: Neutral, Good, Evil, Law, Chaos	Yes	neutral, good, evil, law, chaos
alignstr	The strength of the alignment: Mildly (minor penalties to opposed alignments, if a plane is mildly neutral that means all alignments are at home here), Strongly (All non-matching alignments take penalties)	Yes	mild, strong
element	What kind of Element dominates the plane: Fire, Water, Electricity, Earth, Acid, Air, Positive Energy, Negative Energy; defaults to none	No	fire, water, elec, acid, air, earth, pos, neg
magic	How magic functions on this plane: Dead (No magic works at all), Limited (Some magic Works, some doesn't), Normal (Magic functions normally), Wild (Magic functions erratically)	Yes	dead, normal, wild, limit
enhanced	Sub-category to Magic, list rules for magic that is enhanced on this plane (ex: casting a fire spell on a fire plane may give +1 caster level or +1 DC or a die step increase in damage (d6 becomes d8))	No	description of enhancement
impeded	Sub-category to Magic, list rules for magic that is impeded on this plane (ex: trying to cast a fire spell on a water plane may not work unless the caster makes a spellcraft check.)	No	description of impediment
borders	How this plane borders others: No Borders (this plane does not border any other), Shifting (firm borders, but they change randomly, Firm (Distinct edges to the borders, magic does not pass through), Soft (edges of the planes meld together, magic passes through)	Yes	no, shift, firm, soft
links	Any links this plane may have with other planes: No (This plane has no links at all), Spell-Created (Spells can create links on this plane), Holes (holes open from the elemental planes creating points of access), Portals (Your generic doorways to the other side)	No	no, spell, holes, portals
natives	List the creatures or types of creatures that are native to this plane	Yes	description of natives
desc	More detailed description of what makes this plane unique from the rest.	Yes	general description

Test Example

The Material Plane

Physical Traits
Normal Gravity	Gravity on this plane functions as normal, something that weighs 5 pounds on the material plane weighs 5 pounds on this plane. Use the normal rules for encumbrance, ability scores, carrying capacity, and skill checks.
Normal Time	Time flows normally on this plane, for each round you spend on this plane, one round passes on the material plane.
Infinite Globe	This plane is an infinite globe, its lands continue on forever, though the setting may only describe a finite number of places to go on this plane.
Alterably Morphic	Like normal, objects on this plane do not move unless interacted with either by physical forces or magical. You can dig a hole, or build a wall and unless another force destroys it, it will still be there when you return.
Element, Alignment, and Magical Traits
No Elemental or Energy Trait	This plane has no specific energy or element that dominates it.
Mildly Neutral-Aligned	This plane has a balance, since no alignments are opposed to neutral, all creatures can exist comfortably on this plane.
Normal Magic	Magic on this plane functions normally, it is not any harder to cast a certain spell, and spells don't run the risk of randomly changing into something unintended.
Impeded Magic	spells that are impeded on this plane
Planar Links, Boundaries & Natives
No Borders	This plane does not directly border any of the other planes, though there may be links, paths, or holes that can take you to other planes from this one.
Spell-Created Links	Magic on this plane functions like normal. Spells, spell-like abilities, and other magical abilities that draw power from other planes or allow creatures to shift between them function properly.
Natives	Home to most of the creatures and monsters in the DnD cosmos.
