But there are animal forms that have hands able to make gestures. Monkey hands should be as able casting as Treant, demon, or lizardfolk ones. (The examples all allow for somatic components.)

I'd always been under the assumption that somatic components were more than just hand gestures, but required body postures as well, which would be subtly different between ape and man (longer arms etc.).
However, it's an interesting borderline case. I don't want to make it too difficult to achieve spellcasting and/or speech in animal form. I'd be willing to go with the fact that some animal form choices are better than others (which I think is the case anyway). Any thoughts?

As I said, it is raw and common opinion, that wizards polymorphed into treants can use verbal and somatic components freely. And yes, there could be some perks for choosing an animal form without flight or claws.
(Baboon being powerful form is costing the medium sized feat and not part of being monkey.)

I thought I'd addressed this, but perhaps I composed a post that then got lost.
I'm going to go with two feats - one a variant of Natural Spell that lets you cast spells in your nai-nek-chai animals form, the other one that lets you speak in your nai-nek-chai animal form. If you happen to also have a monkey or ape animal form, this is human enough that you can perform somatic gestures well enough.

Here's how hit points work for levelling up with the grace/health system:
Same as before, basically, except...
Hit points from the class hit die are added to Grace
Hit points from Constitution bonus are added to Health
+1 point to Health.
No-one has a negative Con bonus so we don't need to worry about that, but it would come off Grace (so you'd get +1 Health and Class Hit Die-Con Penalty to Grace).
You can Invis. Castle your hit points or get me to do it if you Fear The One.

I've been suggesting in other threads I'm in that we move the game off Enworld.
It's been so bad lately that I can no longer promise to post with ANY frequency.
There are many PBP sites that could easily host us.
Thoughts?
PS - To save myself a post, this applies to your Babylon 5 game too.

Further to the last, I've got a forum attached to the Creative Conclave site which we could use. It's an EZboard one, I don't think it does much singing and dancing in terms of different fonts and that (although I've not really explored it). We could use that if necessary.
