Playing a sword is a bit off-topic, not being about animals, so I glossed over it originally, but it has piqued my interest. What does an intelligent sword do? How did that campaign play out?
I would probably write up a new dolphin race and leave the class alone. MMadsen would likely recognize this as good d20 game design, though.

I haven't spoken to him since...
I played a monkey monk in one campaign.

That reminds me, of course, of the Vanara race from Oriental Adventures -- monkey men along the lines of Hanuman. I still find it odd that they're smarter and weaker than humans (+2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Str).
In the animal world (not counting humans) monkeys would be the smartest, so when converted to humans they would get the plus to intelligence.

Just imagine how smart a human converted to human would be!
