However I will add my voice to those who say +2 int & chr is out of balance.  There have been long arguments here on if any + to a caster stat is worth +1 LA. I would have them either concentrate on wizardry or sorcerery, and fix the bonus. If they are a small group they would logically all have specalized in one or the other. Plane of Shadows carries lots of baggage - vision, negative planar links, bows being useless due to sight range, etc. Limbo on the other hand could be interesting - see the githzari who also have solid outposts there.  I don't think they have any energy resistances.  I have found that even though they are a +2 LA the +6 to wisdom makes them playable, if very specalized. Bows might not be much use in limbo, and compound bows are inefficent with a str penalty.  Other benifits that could come from limbo: +2 to concentrate. + to reflex saves (to dodge changing conditions) + spot, listen and search the knowledge planes bonus works best if they had contact with other residents, or the ability to observe other planes.</blockquote>
