It's definitely been interesting so far, even if the GM basically handwaved the whole weirdness aspect for the most part.

Wemics are centaur-like creatures, but with lion parts instead of horse parts. Liontaurs allow you to play with many nifty archetypes: plains savages, wild herders and hunters, and gladiators/slaves are all common wemic tropes, especially for fighters and barbarians. Or you could emphasize the nature/fey link as a druid, ranger, fey bloodline sorcerer or nature oracle. Or you could be inspired by the Quest for Glory game and play a paladin liontaur. Another advantage is that wemics are not inherently evil, and depending on the campaign, may have a reputation as wise nature seers and expert guides, so you do not necessarily have the "orc walks into a human town" problem.<br /><br />Do not use the PF race builder to make your liontaur, however; that system charges a huge amount to make a Large PC, assuming you will be bipedal and have reach. A Large quadruped has no natural reach, and centaurs and liontaurs have the "Undersized Weapons" disadvantage to boot. I've fiddled with and collected lots of liontaur rules over the years, but the very best PF-specific rules are in my free PDF ebook you can find at cayzle.com/splat.Cayzlehttp://www.cayzle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606376637537506644.post-77714043802989277122016-09-14T14:17:52.000-04:002016-09-14T14:17:52.000-04:00Very nice article!

I've always been a fan of more monstrous races myself, very rarely playing humans, dwarves or elves. <br /><br />Part of why I enjoy Pathfinder is the great diversity Golarion offers so that my party and I can feel justified in keeping teammates like the Orc Paladin who hides his face, the wandering lizardfolk who tries to keep quiet and asks teammates to speak for him, things of that nature.<br /><br />Just playing these races is fun, but having that deeper roleplaying experience, getting into the headspace of the character and the world makes it much more rewarding.Alphonsiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662415603770618482noreply@blogger.com
