That he is.

Yeah, basically there was a whole lot of energy tied up in maintaining the Weave, making sure the entire Great Wheel didn't suddenly moosh together in one big cataclysmic worldquake, et cetera. When Mystra died, everything pretty much unraveled at once in what they called the Spellplague. The...

If I'm DMing? [2] initially, transitioning over to [1] if (or when) I feel it necessary.

Ooh, seconded. (As for sunrods: sure, they have a duration, but it's 4 hours; they weigh a measly pound each; ten of them cost no more than a single first-level shot of holy water; and for the price of one first-level magic item, you can flood a whole football field with bright light for one...

Omm.

Bugbears need more love. They're really, really great. But the wood elf occupies a deep archetypal niche, and moreover is laden with first-party support both in fluff and crunch.

They could be. Personally, I can only barely imagine a deva sent by Sehanine not having long, flowing hair.

It isn't. That's the githzerai picture in the Monster Manual. The picture in question is this one:

Incense. Exotic wood. Magnesium, barium, sodium, phosphorus. Illustrated incunabula--precious, delicate, and rare. The blood of a demon. Faceted sunstone. The breath of a dragon. Mirrors. Light-catching lens arrays. Prismatic artifices of gemstone and glass. Radium. A salamander in a cage of...

DDI exclusive, actually. Won't be in any book, PHB3 or otherwise.
