Technically since they are found in temperate forests, and the entry reads "Medium Fey", they would only be an outsider (with that applied template thingy) whenever they are not on their home plane of residence. You could probably say that since Arborea has temperate forests they could reside there too, I would probably assume that most would live on the material plane and would be native while they were there, and some would live on Arborea and be native to that plane instead. Unless I'm missing some random fey plane in the standard 3.5 cosmology, but idk.

Thats just what I think, anyway, I could be wrong.
You're thinking Extraplanar. Outsider is a specific type that indicates the being is composed of planar stuff, and that the body and soul are one. Extraplanar is a subtype that indicates the being is native to a different plane.

Regarding the fey, most fey in standard 3.5 cosmology are native to the Prime Material. Arborea has the eladrin, who are vaguely fey-like outsiders. However, we really don't know what there is to go on because this is not necessarily the base 3.5 cosmology.

Oh right :P.
That would explain why Roy's GF (Whose name I cannot recall right now) would be dead is dead if she ever died. That would mean that outsiders can't be banished on their home plane, unlike with what I said, I think.

I've been wondering, if Redcloak can summon elementals from the Periodic Table, if he were to call a uranium elemental, would that be usable as a nuke?

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Uranium is naturally composed of 99% U-236, which is pretty terrible for nuclear weapons, so no. Natural uranium isn't even used for power generation, because it just isn't reactive enough.

He can however summon a transuranic elemental. It will fall apart as soon it's summoned, but people nearby will immediately die of radiation disease.

Two words. Lead. Shield.

Only Belkar has a lead shield, though.
Your point?

What about Belkar turning into a vampire - shouldn't that fulfil the prediction as well?

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

I'm leaning towards Lichkar, personally.

You seem to forget that said nearby people also include Redcloak.

The original point was a question if he could shield an atomic bomb elemental, so...

The thing about the prophecy is, although the Oracle specified that Belkar would 'breath his last', which seems to be ripe for tricky interpretation, informally he spoke as if Belkar was going to die. So while Lichkar would be a terror to behold, he is probably not going to happen.

I suggest that we add a clause permitting the keelhauling of anyone who suggests a plan involving "zombify the crew".

He's going to acquire some sort of magic item that makes it so that he doesn't need to breathe, I bet.

That could've been the oracle just messing with him.

I'm pretty sure the oracle added that he was going to die - properly - in an aside to the audience.
