It's nothing like crystal. You can use it. 10% or so add a noticeable amount of flavor.
A pale ale dosen't have to have crystal malts but I like them them better with some.

Right- it's nothing at all like crystal malt. I use it in one of my IPA recipes with no crystal, and I really like it.
I used it at 5% in a brown and its clearly noticeable. Crystal and caramel malts are relatively interchangeable, so try for one of those.
But no harm in using biscuit, give it a try. It certainly won't make a bad beer.

I just made one using .75 buiscuit malt. It was too much for me, gave it too much of a mild roast flavor. It deff is nice to add but I personally won't add over .50 lbs again.
