[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 3279533, member: 26473"] Mostly. Here's the breakdown - "Giant class creatures are: bugbears, ettins, giants, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, ogres, ogre magi, orcs, and trolls." - 1e [i]AD&D PHB[/i], p. 24 "Tribal spell casters are found amongst the following races of creatures: BUGBEARS, CAVEMEN, ETTINS, GIANTS, GNOLLS, GOBLINS, HOBGOBLINS, KOBOLDS, LIZARD MEN, OGRES, ORCS, TROGLODYTES, and TROLLS." - 1e [i]AD&D DMG[/i], p. 40 Add cavemen, lizard men and troglodytes to the "giant class" creatures list, and remove ogre magi, and you have the list of races with tribal spellcasters. Interesting note regarding cavemen: they have normal clerics, not shamans, so they are not limited in level or spell list like humanoid shamans.Our assumption was that the shaman's or witch doctor's divine spells were granted by the same sources as normal clerics. A witch doctor's spellbook could be something fun - I used cave paintings and rune strings, as I recall. [/QUOTE]
