[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8031455, member: 6802378"] I was thinking after publishing my last post if shen/spirit-folk are beaitufl, loves to live in the nature and can speak with animals, then the are perfect to be characters like Disney princesses. And the koropokurus could had got some kawai(cute) touch to the something like those innocent kid-friendly cartoons about little people who lives in the nature. They could be used for stories about conflicts for the honor, because not all have got the same codes, or even the painful dilleme among to choose the prestige among the rest of the society or fidelity to your own conscience. Hengeyokai maybe need a little nerfing with the shapesifter powers, maybe more staggered between levels, but they are perfect for jianghu ("rivers and lakes"), and I mean stories about underworld, tricksters and criminal groups. They could vigilantes or survivors who want revenge against some mafia capo. Hengeyokai can be example of the hypocrite honor, prestigious members of high society in the cover, but cynical rasctas inside. Something like the fantasy version with superpowers/ki technique of the serie "[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior_(TV_series)']Warrior[/URL]". * The nezumi PC is from the Legend of Five Rings. Can be used by WotC anyway or are they copyright by Fantasy Flight Games/Asmodee? * My theory is WotC isn't going to create new IPs directly first for D&D and later adapted into other lines (cartoons or videogames) but the opposite, new IPs for movies, teleseries, videogames, and later adapted into D&D.
