[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 6156848, member: 95493"] So? It is no more different than if you wanted to make an Outsider (Demons) into an aberration in 4e. It is NOT at all what the topic of this conversation is, at least to my knowledge. If we want to talk about how monsters are made then we can do that, but that has nothing to do with the right about of lore (especially planar) that goes into DnD books. Actually, there was a topic of monster Types a little while back. We could go there to discuss those kinds of things. Then we agree. This is my main point either way. As far as added back into the DMG, it may have been. I don't have the 3.0 for reference but I assumed both versions were more or less the same. Either way, yes there are some references to some planar stuff in DMG - that's almost exclusively where it is because it is a DM's reference and not meant to be the player's basic assumptions. Even then it is largely overlooked and under used. It was still very minor and serves as little more than knowledge of how things theoretically work, as opposed to a direct framework that was used in 4e - where it mattered. So, my point still stands.
