Me "Death is inevitable no matter what I do.  I will act with honor."<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh, and if you're playing in Arthaus's Warcraft D&D, Panderans are BAAAA-roken as monks.  You get a bonus to Con and Dex with no penalty, a natural AC bonus, a bite attack in addition to the hands/claws, and a bonus to speed if you go on all fours.  Only down side is a penalty to speed on 2 legs and fighting, but your monk abilities quickly make up for it.Besides, who can resist playing a Kung-fu Panda bear?  And when something goes wrong you get to say "That makes me a sad panda..."</blockquote>
