[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 3370305, member: 31304"] [B]Which monstrous races would live in or visit Sigil and why?[/B] Aside from the PHB races, and the “Planescape” races (aasimar, bariaur, genasi, githzerai, planar races, and tieflings) what specific monsters would most likely be found in Sigil? Which ward(s) would live in or visit? [U]Criteria:[/U] I think that Sigil would be populated by humanoids, mostly medium or large size--none too big to fit comfortably in the city. Fairly intelligent. If they’re common, they probably have an interest in what Sigil has to offer: portals, philosophy, and/or interplanetary commerce. Here are my thoughts so far: [I]Good Guys[/I] 1.
