[QUOTE="FoolishFrost, post: 5142050, member: 24319"] Well, it's a matter of interpretation. The changeling got rabbit as a matter of personality. Keep in mind, I needed 12 zodiac races, so some had to be merged in at a touch of an angle. If you look at monkey, the personality traits seem perfect for the tiefling. As to shapeshifters, with 4th edition, you can take a multiclass feat and become part druid to get the ability to take animal forms. Considering that, I figure it's not too off an idea to allow a feat that allows anyone to shapeshift into a single animal type and keep the ability to use the basic melee attack at 1d6 unarmed damage. You suddenly have kitsune and swanmays that way. And glad you liked the Shardmind. Along with all the other Kami races, it seemed a nice method to keep the race and change the concept. no reason not to shuffle around the zodiac races, though. Switch them around and let us know what you came up with. Mine are just a first example. Oddly, I'm not bothering to change the name of the classes. Samurai seems more of a social title than a class. A paladin, ranger, fighter, or even swordmage could easily have the title samurai. We've pretty much just decided to figure out some kind of social or feat system for samurai, clans, and the like.
