{{#switch: {{lc: {{{gravity|}}} }}
  | normal= ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Normal Gravity 
{{!}} <small>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.</small>
  | ligh = ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Light Gravity
{{!}} <small>Gravity on this plane is less than normal, all weights are reduced in half, and characters take a -2 circumstance penalty to attacks, [[Balance]], [[Ride]], [[Swim]], and [[Tumble]] checks because of reduced mobility.  Although, characters gain a +2 circumstance bonus to [[Jump]] and [[Climb]] checks.  Characters taking fall damage only take 1d4 damage per 10 feet rather than the normal 1d6. </small>
  | heavy=  ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Heavy Gravity
{{!}} <small>Gravity on this plane is more than normal, all weights are doubled, and characters take a -2 circumstance penalty to attacks, [[Balance]], [[Climb]], [[Jump]], [[Ride]], [[Swim]], and [[Tumble]] checks because of reduced mobility. Ranged weapons have their range reduced to half that of normal. Characters taking fall damage take 1d10 points of damage per 10 feet rather than the normal 1d6.</small>
  | no= ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} No Gravity
{{!}} <small>There is no gravity on this plane, instead characters simply float around unless there is a mode of movement (often force of will or magical effects such as ''[[teleport]]'').  
  | objective= ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Objective Directional Gravity
{{!}} <small>Gravity on this plane carries the same force as the material plane, though it may be in the direction of any object, and not necessarily what is normally considered down on the material plane.  Gravity on this plane may tend to change depending on where you are, even when walking through a normal room up may suddenly change to down.</small>
  | subjective = ! style="width:200px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Subjective Directional Gravity 
{{!!}} <small>Gravity on this plane carries the same force as the material plane, though it is wherever an individual desires it to be, because of this unattended objects and non-sentient creatures have no gravity and simply float.  If an individual wills gravity to pull his feet toward a wall, then he may walk up a wall as if gravity was holding him to it.  An individual may take use a free action to set a new direction of gravity on this plane. Setting a new direction requires a DC 16 [[Wisdom]] check, an individual gets cumulative +6 to this check in successive rounds after a failure, until he or she success.</small>

{{!}} <small>Time flows normally on this plane, for each round you spend on this plane, one round passes on the material plane.</small>
  | flowing= ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Flowing 
{{!}} <small>Time flows differently on this plane, extended time spent on this plane usually results in much less time passing on the material plane. While on this plane, {{{flow|'''Fill in the flow trait: (such as 1 year equals 1 round)'''}}} on the material plane. <!-- (example: 1 year equals 1 round --></small>
  | erratic= ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Erratic Time 
{{!}} <small>Time on this plane changes at random.  It may flow normal for a time, and then change per the DMs discretion.</small>
  | timeless= ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Timeless 
{{!}} <small>The effects of time on this plane are dimished. You can not heal naturally, and any spells cast do not take effect while you remain on this plane.  If you leave this plane, time "catches up to you" and you age rapidly for the time spent on the plane, depending on how much time you spent on this plane you may also be extremely hungry and exhausted.</small>

  | alter = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Alterably Morphic
{{!}}<small>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.</small>
  | divine = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Divinely Morphic
{{!}}<small>This plane is much like a normal one, objects stay where they are put unless moved through physical or magical forces.  Although, a specific deity has control over this plane and may change any of its physical properties instantaneously.  Such as creating a mountain where there once was an ocean.</small>
  | static = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Static
{{!}}<small>The objects and natural citizens of this plane can not be affected by travelers.  This world seems to function as if under a ''[[SRD:Time Stop|time stop]]'' spell.  To even move a small unattended object on this plane requires a DC 16 strength check, objects that are larger or heavier are sometimes impossible to move.</small>
  | highly = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Highly Morphic
{{!}}<small>This plane is often changing, this do not stay where creatures left them, and the matter in the plane often moves at random.  This plane is considered quite unstable making mapping through natural means quite difficult</small>

{{!}}- style="text-align:left"
{{#switch: {{lc: {{{element|}}} }}
  | fire = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Fire-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is extremely volatile. It is dotted with volcanoes, lava floes, self-burning fires and the superheated air scorches all that it touches.  Any creature attempting to travel this plane takes 3d10 points of fire damage per round (A creature with heat endurance takes half damage, while creatures made of water take double damage). Not only are creatures susceptible, but any unprotected clothing, paper, wood, or other flammable material catches fire immediately.</small>
  | cold = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Cold-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is completely frozen over and quite hazardous to life.  Any creature attempting to travel this plane takes 1d10 points of cold damage per round (A creature with cold endurance takes half damage, while creatures made of fire take double damage). The frozen air makes it difficult to operate and move effectively, and rapidly freezes objects.  Any creature wearing mundane armor made of metal may only move at half speed from the cold conditions. </small>
  | water = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Water-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is almost entirely made of water.  A creature without water breathing may have a difficult time finding an air pocket to breathe. Creatures made of fire (such as elementals) take 1d10 points of damage each round.</small>
  | elec = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Electricity-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is quite unforgiving, the air is electrically charged, and there is little, to no solid ground.  Any creature attempting to traverse this plane takes 2d10 points of electricity damage per round. Creatures made of earth take double damage.</small>
  | acid = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Acid-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is a noxious graveyard, the air is extremely harmful to most travelers.  Any creature attempting to travel this plane takes 3d10 acid damage per round.  Not only is the air harmful, but it also eats through unprotected clothing, paper, wood, or other soft materials begin to deterriate instantly as if they had caught fire.</small>
  | air = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Air-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is comprised mostly of air, and while generally not harmful, there may be pockets of poisonous gasses, or acidic vapor.  Creatures of the earth subtype are quite uncomfortable on this plane, though they do not suffer any damage.  It is generally hard to find solid ground on an air-dominant plane. Though sheets of ice, and even clouds can often act as "ground" on this plane. </small>
  | earth = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Earth-Dominant 
{{!}} <small>This plane is made almost entirely of solid earth.  A traveler teleporting in often runs the risk of being trapped inside earth, and suffocating to death. A traveler without a burrow speed may dig 5 feet per turn.  Creatures of the air subtype are uncomfortable on this plane, though they suffer no ill effects. </small>
  | pos = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Positive-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is charged with positive energy, all living creatures on this plane gain fast healing 2, this counts as an [[extraordinary ability]], magic on this plane seems flashier, and more alive.  </small>
  | neg = ! style="text-align:left; vertical-align:middle;" {{!}} Negative-Dominant
{{!}}<small>This plane is charged with negative energy, all living creatures on this plane take 1d6 damage a round</small>
  | ! No Elemental or Energy Trait
{{!}}<small>This plane has no specific energy or element that dominates it.</small>
