Catfolk

[Arianrhod]

In the original version of "Oriental Adventures" you can find a race called the "Wu-Jen" wich is a race of shape shifting animals. The animal variations are selectable and each have specific pro's and con's. They are considered outsiders and often feared as they typically choose the path of a sorcerer type.

Different and fun to play...

I believe that was actually Hengeyokai. Wu Jen was essentially the Oriental Adventures version of a wizard.

Say no to Furries!

Yeah no furries. People with those furry fetishes are some weirdos. Prolly sit around watching thunder cats and rubbing butter in their belly button yelling "Thunder Cats HOOOOOOOOOO" SNARF!!

[Lymnus]

Eh. Lets not start picking at furries. That's not cool

But, Catfolk might actually be kinda fun. Something not too overpowered, but not severely underpowered either. They get +2 Dex and +2 Chr. However, the issue is, the reason people used to go Catfolk is for the feat Catfolk Pounce. I'm curious how one would implement Catfolk Pounce into DDO.

For those who don't know, Catfolk Pounce is a feat that lets you make a charge, then perform a full round attack at the end of the charge.

I think I'd perfer them to work on other things than Catfolk over all... Catfolk are sorta nifty I suppose but there are other Races I perfer.

Half Elf
Gnome
Half Orc
Shifter
Changeling
Aasimir
Tiefling


Those would be the tops of my list (no particular order) Aasimir and Tieflings could be Favor Rewards for 1000 General Favor... or maybe tier 3 12 Favor or some such.

Perhaps even Half Dragon for tier 3 Argonessan Favor

Why shouldnt we pick on furries? Nothing good comes from adults dressing up pretending they are animals. The same with people dressing up pretending they are Klingons, Vulcans and Elves for that matter. The furry community is not a healthy one by any stretch of the immagination for many reasons I am not going to go into on a forum where kids may be reading. move along and no furries for you.

The Ricasta are a goofy race same as Rakshasha. Lets get the starting races first then maybe in 2025 we can work on the animal fetish races.

But I can forsee that the Druid Class will be the exclusive shape-shifting class in DDO.

Umm kind wrong there wu-jen was class not a race but there were an animal like race forget the name though. never like OA stuff much myself

I hope not....that would be pretty much throwing Eberron lore right out the window. Just consider the story of Vol...

Vol's parents, conspiring to find a way to end the war between elves and dragons, create a half-dragon, Vol. Once Vol's existence is revealed, elves and dragons do unite (briefly) - to destroy the abomination of a half-dragon, and wipe out the entire House Vol while they're at it.

The Dragons of Argonnessen should never even permit the existence of half-dragons, let alone encourage them as a favor reward.
