Personally, I'd be inclined to have the elves replace the Native Americans- make them more "natural" in their technologies than they are generally represented in fantasy literature (no iron or steel, using wooden/bone/stone weaponry) but having advanced knowledge of nature magics (either have them be very druidical in their leanings- change their favored class, or else maybe more sorcerers than wizards). Dwarves certainly fit the typical "prospector" niche, with gnomes filling the roles of the technological innovations nicely. The current "nomadic" halfling archetype of 3E works well with the frontiersmen/explorers of the "New World".As far as your specific questions, I've always thought that the Owlbears would make some really interesting domesticated beasts of burden. For that matter, maybe you could have the owlbear serve as the replacement for the buffalo on the plains.Most of the other types have been done before to one extent or another (hippogriff, griffon). A gorgon might be a cool domesticated type of beast replacing cattle (despite their entry saying they can't be domesticated). Wonder what type of milk it might make? Maybe it just produces yoghurt? (You know, the whole "stone breath" thing?)As for weaponry, as others have suggested you might just go with guns. Crossbows are a more than suitable fantasy replacement, as are wands as you have mentioned.</blockquote>
