Beastmen

Post by AndreiChekov »

So, continuing with making egypt themed stuff, I've done raptorans into an egyptian thing, and now I am working on Shifters.

Fluff
Seeing the creations of Horus and Thoth, the other gods became jealous, and decided to make their own creations. They worked together to create the beast men. Although the origin of beastmen is from jealousy, they get along fairly well with anyone, because they themselves are so diverse. The form of a child is always that of the mother.
Beast men live all over the place, and are interspersed with humans throughout the north and south kingdoms. They don't really have a unique society, as they are part of the human societies. They are the second most populous species around. Humans make up 50% of the population, and beastmen come in at 30% (Irikara and dwarves are both 10% each.).

Mechanics
• Humanoid with the shapechanger subtype, unless otherwise noted
• Size medium
• Land speed 30 ft.
• +2 survival and diplomacy
• Lowlight vision
• +2 to saves against transmutation
• Assume animal form (Su): as detailed below, except that all changes have a duration of 10 minutes per level. Any armour or items held meld into the body and become ineffective for the duration. You lose any class abilities you have, while in this form, but keep your feats. From 6th level onwards, you keep your class abilities, and can cast spells in this form. Transforming takes a full round action. Ending this before the duration runs out takes another full-round action.

Where is Ra?
The first rule of Fatclub. Don't Talk about Fatclub..
If you want a game modded right you have to mod it yourself.

I'm making a campaign setting, and the hawk race thing is already covered by the irikara of Horus.

Khelep, the scarab beetle, was considered to be an alternate form of Ra, so that covers him being a part of it.

Also, in later mythology, Ra was joined with Amun, making Amon-Ra, and all of the bird features were gone.

And, I might take Nekhmet's vultures and just put them under irikara, the only problem I see with this is that thoth and horus are quite clearly bird headed, and nekhmet looks like a human.
