Planar Handbook any good?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

That's a funny connection to make. Isn't the convention of using secret doors to hide valuables (Rather than locking them up like any sane person would) much more like video game secret levels than the focal site planar touchstones?

I have the same issue with the "Stuff Hidden Behind Secret Doors Instead of Locking It Up Handbook."

If used right they can add a spiritual depth to the planes that's sometimes lost, I don't think they're necessarily "video gamey" as the generic complaint goes.

I think the generic complaint is there because people don't think it will be used right.

And isn't kicking butt through spirituality what the monk class is about?
