Satyrs in the SRD don't have more than +2 stat bonuses, anyway. In my mind, they could be lost. How about: - Type: Humanoid (satyr) - Medium size. - A satyr’s base land speed is 40 feet. - Low-light vision. - Racial Skills: Satyrs have a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Perform, and Spot checks. -...

A wall of an alley has writhing rats embedded into it. A goat wanders down the street. It has no eyes, and its horns grow from its eye sockets. Anything with transparent skin. Cats with hands. A ginormous stray dog. Each time it is wounded, a smaller (normal-sized) dog erupts from the wound, and...

I was going to suggest taking your first two levels in Ranger. You essentially trade a couple of hit points for a TON of skill points, favored enemy, track, wild empathy, and a better reflex save. -Stuart

Obviously, you're entitled to your own opinion - but it isn't the only one out there. Personally, I like the new cosmology. I'm a huge fan of Planescape, but I dislike the D&D alignment system and the Great Wheel's reification of it never excited me. The idea of adapting Planescape into the new...

To me, the question is beguiler or no beguiler... and that depends on your players and your play style. If you have a player who is good at coming up with creative solutions and you as a DM are comfortable with being flexible about them, then give that player a Beguiler. It will be a lot of fun...

A lot of it need not be junked. Much of it could be adapted - or even kept pretty much as-is. How important to the setting is it that the Great Wheel is a circle? I can think of two ways this comes into play: (1) the Modron March (an adventure) and (2) the fact that Sigil is presumed to be at...

You can have alignment without Alignment. Outside of D&D we have conceptions of, for example, Angels of Peace... or Angels of Justice... or a Demon of Falsehoods... or what-have-you: entities that are the embodiment of moral concepts. These things are in no way dependent upon the D&D alignment...

I agree with most of what Quickleaf said. Moreover, I don't think alignment or the Great Wheel are really at the core of what Planescape is about. I think Sigil would work perfectly fine as the city (that claims to be?) at the center of the Astral Sea. -Stuart

...and the Ewoks. Sneakers Mission Impossible -Stuart

How about: Medium size - they are pale, with an average height of around 7' and unnaturally slender by human standards Base land speed is 30 feet Low-light vision Weapon Familiarity: Composite bows are treated as simple rather than martial weapons Racial Skills: +2 racial bonus on Knowledge...

This introduces Dragonborn and Spellscales as PC races. Neither really excite me. It does have a ton of info on Kobolds - so that might be useful. There is very little on actual Half-Dragons. The prestige classes, feats, and spells are pretty good. There were a few nice things in there for...

I'd agree with those. I use PHBII, in particular, all the time. As far as the complete books go, a lot of it depends on what you're looking for - I get the least use out of Complete Scoundrel and Complete Divine - and the most use out of Complete Adventurer, Complete Mage, and Compete Arcane...

This is a scary, scary build. Scout+Dervish is nasty. Also: Scout+PHBII Wizard/Conjurer (w/immediate magic option) - a quick way to get full attacks+skirmish. (If you end up boosting your Int for this, a 3-level Swashbuckler dip is tempting). -Stuart

Exemplar is from Complete Adventurer. It's really best for people who excel in their skills. Some thoughts on classes: Warblade (Tome of Battles: Book of 9 Swords) would work decently: pick up Stone Dragon and Tiger Claw maneuvers that boost your strength, toughness, and unarmed attacks. Monk...

The sharakim hate orcs, though. How about saying that the sharakim have made a study of those methods that have been successfully used against orcs. The most implacable of the enemies of orcs, of course, are the elves. While the sharakim are ill-suited to replicate the success of elven woodland...

How about this: Dashing Swordsman Hit Die d8. Requirements To qualify to become a dashing swordsman, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Base Attack Bonus +5. Skills Perform 8 ranks, Bluff 5 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks. Feats Dodge, Persuasive, Weapon focus (rapier). Class...

Does disintegrate say that someone killed by it can't be reincarnated or brought back to life in any way? If not, then it isn't part of the spell's effect. -Stuart

Chaos Gnome (Races of Stone) would work well - it is +1 LA, but gets +2 to Dex/Con/Cha, entropic shield as a spell-like ability, and a free reroll 1/day (+ most typical gnomish things). -Stuart

I believe there's a Druid spell in the Spell Compendium that grants Scent. You could use the standard rules for creating a wondrous item and base it off of that. -Stuart

...and/or extra uses for action points. -Stuart
