Oh, nice. :xd:
Ah, I see. Another friend who's tried to get me to play DnD before told me a lot about Lycanthropes when I asked her the same question about non-human characters. Of all the non-human options, I'd probably say lycanthropes are the most appealing to me. I was reading that page... two questions about it. It says I can pick any animal (that eats meat anyway) that is within one size category of the primary race. Assuming I'm a humanoid race, what animals would that include? I don't know the size categories. @_@ Also, due to the fact that it talks about the chosen animal's stats, am I correct in assuming that I'm only allowed to pick from animals directly included within DnD's monster lists? But if that's true, does that also include the fantasy creatures too, and not just the normal real-world animals?
