[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 6878415, member: 6801226"] I agree with shidaku. So far all PC options are humanoids, even if there is a nonhumanoid version in the monster manual (minotaurs and revenants). I am pretty sure it is to avoid the annoying "My PC should be immune to that spell, because he/she is an X, and the spell says it only affects humanoid" (almost inevitably followed by "What do you mean this buff doesn't affect my PC? That is so unfair."). Long story short: everybody can be healed the same way, are affected by the same buff spells, and they can all walk on hallowed ground. It is simpler and more easily accessible for new players. [/QUOTE]
