Tengu Character

[Mark Topper]

I have been wondering if there are any character stats on Tengu Warriors around the web.

I haven't been able to find anything directly for WFRP, but found this (LINK - page 73) for Warhammer Fantasy.

With a few modifications it might work out, any clue on some stats and items that this should have?

I don't know WFRP, but at least for Pathfinder, there's a product called In the Company of Tengu by Rite Publishing, some of the content in that supplement can be found at d20pfsrd.com. While the mechanics might not be ideal for your purposes, there's a ton of background fluff that is entirely based on authentic Japanese folklore - I know because its work was based on my expertise on the subject.

Thanks, I will take a look at it and see what I can come up with.

WarHammer is not a good setting for trying to play anything that isn't human.
Sure, you might do Halfling just fine...

But, beyond that... everything is considerably else is considerably more alien and limited than it is in other fantasy series. Even more 2-dimensional with little individual defining characteristics. Particularly if it is something like a Tengu. They'd likely end up some sort of demon devoted to change that feeds off of terrorizing people and seeding chaos and gain strength and reproduce solely through doing that.

That would more or less fall in line with the way things that don't look perfectly human are portrayed in that setting. They would also be almost certainly saddled with a lot of ridiculous Japanese stereotypes as well.

4e has a Kenku race. It was presented in the back of MM3 IIRC, though it might have gotten a gloss in Dragon mag as well when they did their 'OA' issue. I'm pretty sure RadianceRPG also has a Tengu playable race.
