[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 3537364, member: 2795"] As work slowly progresses on my [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=196085]new campaign[/url], I've decided to take inspiration from the likes of Brian Jacques and Kenneth Grahame. As a start, I'm removing all humanoids (and possibly monstrous humanoids) from the game. Available character races will include several anthropomorphic animal-fey creatures. Here's my rough draft of the badgeroid. [b][color=lime]Common Racial Traits[/color][/b] [b]Dual Movement (Ex):[/b] All of the races below except ravens have this racial trait. Races with this trait can move on either all fours or upright on their rear legs. When moving on all fours, the character receives a +10 foot racial bonus to base speed. [b][color=lime]Brocc Racial Traits[/color] (Version 1)[/b] [b]Ability Scores:[/b] +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: Broccs are hearty, but mentally dull and irritable. [b]Automatic Languages:[/b] Common and Brocc. [b]Bonus Languages:[/b] Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). [b]Bonus Feats:[/b] At 1st-level, a brocc chooses one bonus feat from the following list: Agile, Track, Weapon Finesse. [b]Favored Class:[/b] Barbarian. A multiclass brocc's barbarian class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. [b]Movement:[/b] A brocc's base land speed is 20 feet.
