What I need is some advice with making a character that would fit into both FR and PS and possibly a fighter/ranger/paladin/barbarian..since the people playing are a gnome wizard and an elf cleric. What I was thinking was a Bariaur Fighter after I read up on PS3e (Just found out about the site, it is nifty!). But I can't figure out how I would bring it into Sigil since I guess they don't like city settings too much..and a Rogue Modron I am having difficulties with because from what I remember there aren't too many outside of Mechanus. And then there is the Githzerai..possibly a fighter..I mean it would definately fit with the whole Githyanki attack..I am just freaking confused here!
So it would be nice if people gave me some advice, tips, help or whatever else possible for a level 10 character for what I was talking about..and give the +ECL cuz I didn't see any of them on PS3e.

You'll have to downlad the Chapter 2 .rtf file to see the races.
Would a githzerai be a rogue? I really have a feeling I wanna do a githzerai character.
A githzeri rogue? With a +6 dex modifier you can safely say that there are many githzeri rogues around (though Monk is their favored class).
I havn't heard anything about updating to 3.5. I don't even have the 3.5 core books yet myself. Not that I'm likely to have a roll in the number crunching aspect of Planewalker, because I'll admit that I stink with balancing things from a number's aspect. I play too loose with the rule 0 as is.
As for Sucineri, you could pick pretty much any planar race to pick up in Sigil, it's not your average city. Even though it's smoggy and distinctly urban, it's really just another plane, and a sodding well-connected one at that. Even though bariaurs don't like cities, the quickest way between pastures is sometimes through the City of Doors. I would recomend a githzerai (they would make good rogues come to think of it) or a bauriar (probably your best bet for a strong arm basher, their general attitude is like a Gaulic centaur, friendly but fiercly independent). Modrons, while they're fun to play and definitely easy to find in the Cage, are probably to problematic if you're going back to the Realms. The planetouched are also good choices for going back to the Realms but, since FR has... ahem, "aquired" them as their own, you might not consider them exotic enough to be cross-over characters.
If you're looking for a resistance leader against the githyanki, the githzerai are a good choice (obviously) and bariaur are always up for helping freedom fighters.

Your kidding me, right? THE Chaotic PC race (other than Chaond, I guess) favors a lawful-only class? I guess I should read the .rtf's I download a little more closely.
To a tiny extent the chaos/law rules of alignment don't fit snugly into place for describing either of the Gith races.
And yes Mephit James I routinely spell githzerai the wrong way. Thanks for keeping me on my fiendish little toes
*runs around Sigil, taunting mephits by shouting "Githzerei w/ two e's!" at them*

Githzerai aren't inherently chaotic, they simply live in the plane of utter chaos because they're weird like that. Most are neutral (except the monks who are usually LN, and the xaositects, who of course are CN).
That's actually a departure from the githzerai from 2nd Edition. They were a race in Limbo that were mostly chaotic neutral, with some being either true neutral or chaotic good. The githzerai also looked at lawful members of their race pretty strangely. They even preferred to be either fighters or wild mages. Now 3e has changed all that and made monks the favored class to what used to be an inherently chaotic race.
