Message: <blockquote data-quote="Graf" data-source="post: 515367" data-attributes="member: 3087">I have to admit that I'm not a fan of shallow races... a lot of the races I've seen based on animals are painfully underdeveloped. But that doesn't make animal races bad...Rifts did a great job of making dog-men and (for a roleplaying game) went into overdrive relating them to their oppressive creator society, their psionic hound-masters, the average citizen which trusted and affirmed them, etc. Despite being pretty weak the class was pretty popular, it was an engrossing and fun personality concept.Having said that (and I haven't looked at story hours so please don't think I'm including your homebrewed version in this statement): the most recent example's of animal-races haven't been much to speak of so I can see why there might be complaints about the overall trend...For example: S&S recently put a cat-people race into their books (in Termena) and it was, unfortunately, a classic paragraph-of-text-followed-by-stat-block. Far less detailed that the (well done) presentations of some of the core races like Dwarves/Elves/etc.(Hopefully we'll see more in CC-revised to make a liar of me)</blockquote>
