POLL: Furry Races

[Dannyalcatraz]

I'm designing a campaign that will include sentient animals or animal-like creatures as PC races.

What kind, if any, do you prefer?

 

[Nifft]

My favorite are the ones that have been killed by fire.
But any other dead furry is also acceptable.

Cheers, -- N

They're fine if they fit the setting, and aren't just plastered on. (Do gnolls count as a furry race, by the way?)

(Do gnolls count as a furry race, by the way?)

Yes. And they fireball nicely.

Cheers, -- N

I like catgirls.

 

[D.Shaffer]

Who DOESNT like catgirls? Ok, I can think of a few dozen myself...anyways.

I dont mind furry races myself, just so long as they're not in there JUST to be a furry race. If there's a good backstory element involved? Good. If you have them in there just because you want to be a catgirl? Ehhh.

Humanoid animals only work if you divorce them from the "they're upright animals" notion. Look at gnolls and lizardfolk, for instance. They're pretty much homanoid hyenas and lizards. Yet, aside from their appearance, they don't have the inspiring animal hammered at you at every single opportunity.

Anything but catgirls. Dear god. No catgirls.

 

[Desdichado]

I like the shifters, and I don't mind a more full-blown lycanthrope, a la the hengeyokai. For certain games I could even see awakened animals, although the ways in which that could go wrong make me cringe in advance.

No interest in anthropomorphic animals per se, though. Seriously none at all.

 

[Raven Crowking]

My setting includes the Beast Lords, which are deities of different animal types. The Beast Lords occasionally create sentient or anthropomorphic animals, and sometimes these breed true. Thus, as magical beasts, both humanoid animals and awakened animals exist in my campaign world as PC races.

I have adapted the OA hengeyokai into "Faerie Animals"; westernized fey which are also a PC race.
