I liked 'em as clearly insects, who went on 4 legs, or 2 if they wanted extra damage output. Much more fun!Lol, Nerd Rage over an insect's bum... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" />Also, for 4th ed, their 4 legged nature is good, I was thinking they'd have an ability like:As for mutli-limbed fighting and thier poisonous bite, that should eaisly be handled by feats or powers, shouldn't it?How could you do the fact they can't wear amrour though?An increasing AC bonus based off level? say +1 AC/2 levels? How ot takein class restrictions on armour etc since a thri-kreen wizard with good AC is very odd, or is that a bad thing?The githkya and chatckha would need stats too of course.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh I found an amazing artist out there who does D&D and Dark Sun stuff, check his thri-kreen out, wow!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://gandhi.gfxartist.com/artworks/177020" target="_blank">Athasian Thri-Kreen - GFXartist.com - Served over 20,000,000 artworks</a>then of coruse you have Tohr-Kreen and the wonderfully weird xixchil "You wanted a third leg and four eyes?We did that! But you never specified which species they should look like, you know..."</blockquote>
