Anthropomorphic Animal PCs!

Btw as far as 3.5 is concerned, Champions of Valor in FR had a lot on non-humanoid heroes, including a few class substitutions for animal followers of Lurue.

Look at the Druid. The druid can wildshape between its Druid and "Wildshape" form. Some of the powers require the druid to be in the Wildhsape form.

I wonder if an inteligent animal druid would wildshape into a human?

Didn't Monsters of FR have PC stats for elves that turned into wolves?

The Druid wildshape says that the aesthetics of the druid's wildshape is up to them. They could turn into a specific animal, or "a cloud of wings and fangs" or a bunch of other things. The dwarf druid I played for a session turned into an Earth elemental.

For the love of -

Again, there's a difference between an anthropomorphic animal and a furry. Is it not designed to be specifically sexualized? Then it's not a furry. Here, have this handy dandy photo for reference:

I'm confused?

Second, as far as I'm concerned any athropomorphic animal, no matter how stupid and/or lazy an idea, is better than another "human with funny features" (unless the latter has a really good concept). Raptorians are a good example of what I hate.

Also I really like races that evoke primality, and it's very difficult to do that with anything that looks human.

Haha. I still find the loxos as the worst offenders.

The more threads like this I read, the more I am convinced that my back-burner campaign concept Nature of the Beast might have an audience, after all; a magical wood filled with mysterious ruins, a band of animal adventurers, and a dark foreboding secret.
