Pathfinder 1E [Paizo] Dragon #317

[Alzrius]

There have been a few varieties of cat people in 2nd Ed.....the Tabaxi and the Rakasta among them.

This is probably the wrong thread to ask this, but why was it that in the 2E Monstrous Manual, the tabaxi were anthropomorphic leopard-people, and yet in the Forgotten Realms "tabaxi" was what the humans who lived in Chult were called?

It is out.

And there are no, I repeat, no cat people in the issue, except the cover art.

They should have save the art for an issue with an article on Rakastas. I mean, it does seem to be carrying a katana...

Rat people are cooler.

So true! I played a rat necromancer once and it was a blast. I think the Fafhrd and Mouser book "Swords of Lankhmar" has the Rats being formidable foes.

As I just posted above, I got my Dragon #317 today. But, has anyone posted the list of #318's coming articles yet? I would hate to duplicate someone else.

Looks like you're the first one to get the issue...

I'm thinking urban druids as racial (or city) guardians. Just as a more typical grove druid would protect their forest from non-forest incursions (not only woodcutters but also an encroaching marshland), so a human urban druid would protect their urban area from incursions by non-humans seeking to 'defile' the city. Their gnomish counterpart would protect the gnome town nearby, & they would likely even work together to ensure that each culture maintained its 'proper' place in the Great Balance.

If anybody's played Shadowrun, I'm thinking shamans with urban totems. I'm interested in this urban druid class, since it might be really cool.
