Or, "I don't want to play a minotaur, I want to play a human with horns and oversized breasts."In such cases, I think the best solution is to make your character a related species. For example, there could be a group of hyena-people related to gnolls, but smaller, smarter, and ECL +0. Your cowgirl could be an aasimar with cervidal blood or a tiefling, or a human with distant minotaur ancestry. A racoon-person could be a halfling-phanaton crossbreed. But a lot of animal-people with low or no ECL adjustment already exist. Kenku are humanoid crows with a +0 ECL, for example. And you do want to play a giff. Oh, yes you do.The only thing I can think of that D&D doesn't have is fox-people (although certain arcanaloths have vulpine features). But what you really want, based on your nickname, is a wolf guy, right? Wolves are easy. Wolf-people are as common as dirt. Almost as common as spiders and frogs. Also, the Scarlet Brotherhood commonly experiments in human-animal crossbreeds, as detailed in the Greyhawk supplement of the same name.</blockquote>
