12-20-07, 09:27 PM From what started as a funny/interesting off-the-fly RPing session I am building a celestial cat. I want him to be a caster for his first class. Now I just need a little advice, I would really like the idea of a wizard... the whole book thing is kind of a problem for the little guy... and I'm not sure I see him as a sorcerer... I have thought of bard... which would present some interesting options... so what can you all suggest class-wise?

THANX!!!

Just the idea of a cat snapping it paws and making a book larger than itself appear, then putting his glasses to read it is very comical!

There's always Surrogate Spellcasting from Savage Species (ow, the alliteration!).
