Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 1639292" data-attributes="member: 1465">This preview doesn't excite me very much... the positive thing is that the Planar Handbook may have 99% of new material and nothing revised: probably some of the spells are going to be adjusted, but of the 4 PrCls in MotP I haven't heard yet if they needed any update.It seems like PlH reprints some Planescape material without being fully a campaign setting. To me it sounds like the possible definitive proof that there will never be a Planescape campaign book for 3e.  :\ Anyway, if it has many factions, it can provide ideas to incorporate into any other's setting.Depending on many things, I may prefer to buy some 2e Planescape box at the end.About the previewed bits:Spikers - I suppose that one of the points of playing a planar setting is to have many weird races from other worlds  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> This example seems interesting and quite balances, with a couple of new abilities for a race (DR and Acid Res). The mistake about DR entry format is quite lame however...  :\ Planar Monk - Bah, there was no need to introduce any concept of "substitution level". All they needed to do is a few line describing each new feature and say "a 5th level Monk can choose Resistant Body instead of Purity of Body..." because all they are is simply alternate class features. It looks to me that WotC is becoming unable to work outside their concepts of class/prCl and feats even when it would be easier.By the way, the alternate features are fine themselves.Heritage Feats, Spells and monster - Nothing gamebreaking but fine.Touchstones - To me they sound an interesting addition, let's see what are those special abilities conferred...</blockquote>
