It got more than anything else decanonized by being ignored and unused. And then of course Planewalker made parts of it not valid.Planewalker also is going to be giving some reasons to reconcile 3e game mechanics and monster stats with the events of Hellbound where the Maeldur et Kavurik was dunked in the Styx thus depriving the fiends of their teleportation abilities. We've discussed this already and come up with a solution that keeps both the story from the box set and the 3e presence of fiends with teleportation valid and kosher with each other.As far as Planescape material no longer being canon just because of the edition and rule changes, I don't see your point fully. That's the same as throwing away every single greyhawk and FR book and product as never having existed just because some things they contained aren't repeated verbatim in the 3e FR and Greyhawk material. I wouldn't blanket invalidate anything fluffy and storyrelated unless it was fully contradicted, and then I'd be a bit likely to mock the contradiction if it didn't pass muster. But that's just me being picky on the last part.</blockquote>
