For myself, some of the PrC's look interesting, at least from the perspective of my heavily influenced (currently) Blood War incursion into Faerun. Some of the PrC's and champions devoted to Celestial Paragons may be just the thing to go head-to-head with some of the Baatezu and/or Tanar'ri Warlords conduction yugoloth assaults from Acheron.
Some members of the ruling Celestial Hebdomad like Domiel, or Raziel could probably measure up well against some of the Lords of the Nine, like Bel or Levistus...especially if you wanted to add a new 'Epic' level dimension to your FR games.

The Player's Guide to Faerūn is supposed to have some specifics for using Book of Exalted Deeds. There's the obvious incorporation of some of the prestige classes and domains into FR:
Apostle of Peace- Eldath
Beloved of Valarian- Mielikki, Lurue
Defender of Sealtiel- Helm
Emissary of Barachiel- Torm, Tyr
Fist of Raziel- Torm
Initiate of Pistis Sophia- Ilmater
Lion of Talisid- Nobanion
Endurance Domain- Ilmater
Glory Domain- Torm
Herald Domain- Torm
Joy Domain- Lliira
Pleasure Domain- Sharess
Prophet of Erathaol- Savras
While I don't think we really need the Celestial Hebdomad in FR- considering, of course, the lack of Mount Celestia in the FR cosmology- they certainly are a useful mechanism for inhabiting the planes, as are the new celestial types, since there's no reason you couldn't just change the name of one and throw it out there. |

I don't mae change in the BoED. For me the archons are just something different from the gods. Different place, diffrent followers, diffrent beings.
Actually i'm using Manual of the Planes, Fiend Folio, Book of exalted deeds and book of vile darkness. And IMO, i think the D&D cosmology fits the FR campaign quite well |

PLAYERS OF ZEMD... DON'T READ!
No one of the Three... The group will have to make deals with devil and demons. And the action will be in the Abyss, in a Blood War battleground. They will live the fall of Orcus. He possess the famous Balance of Tyr. So against the Lords of the Nine, there will be themselves, the Abyssal lords and the PCs. They won't be helped much because one of the players mother is believed to have betrayed the archons |

I have been dealing with the fall of Orcus in my campaign recently as well...hmm...
Well, does this mean that the Demon Lords of the Abyss won't be fighting any of the groups presented in the BoED either?.

| It depends on the players, if they prove themselves convincing... maybe. But they'll have to work their image hard! |

I'm still not sure about using the Exalted feats in my campaigns just yet. It took me several months to allow Epic feats due to their potential to sometimes unbalance a game. The Exalted feats have the same potential, especially when you consider the natures of two of my players at the moment...

| I didn't allow the Epic feats. And the only player i'll give access to the exalted feats i'm sure he'll be worth |

No. There is very little FR material presented in the tome. Although I think there was mention of a enclave populated by a small number of one of the creatures presented in the tome, somewhere in Faerun.
I can't remember which, I'll have to check.
