01-06-07, 05:47 AM Strange as this sounds, I am interested in finding a way to make a cat playable. While the "awaken" spell would be the most logical option to give it speech and intelligence, but it does not allow the cat to weild weapons or stand on 2 legs.

I would like to know if there is a template or creature out there that allows for what is essentially a Cat to become a playable race?

I was thinking for another creature to polymorph into a biped cat, but thats not really the same thing... if anyone has any ideas that would be appreciated.

01-06-07, 03:07 PM Try altering the title... the boards aren't happy with it.

You might want to consider a Tibbit (Dragon Compendium), a small-sized race with the ability to transform themselves into a cat.

01-06-07, 08:39 PM Play a rakshasa. Those are neat, you could be lawful neutral and have all kinds of great abilities.
Unless you wanted to be diminutive and weild a longsword that would deal 1 point of damage.
It would be fun to make a rogue though. A true cat burglar. You may be onto something there.
Just make a gnomish alchemist and make the potion that would do what you specify. Then give it to your cat and ask if you can switch characters.

01-06-07, 10:52 PM What about Catfolk from races of the wild? If you really wanted it to be the small cat maybe it could be a midget or a throwback or something. Heck, maybe a catfolk with some gnome or halfling in his ancestry.

Although, housecats in DnD are plenty dangerous anyway, aren't they? Statistically, yer average housecat dishes out enough damage to take out an entire family of commoners in about three rounds flat.

01-13-07, 07:39 PM If it doesn't need to be a normal cat you can play as a Tressym from the FR Campaign Setting. It's an intelligent winged cat. We had someone play as one in an old game. Spent most of his time at the temple of Sharess getting worshipped. He couldn't shake the name Squishy.

Don't forget the "Feline" player character race from "Star Munchkin D20" (By SJ Games). They're pretty interesting.

03-04-07, 10:45 AM You have too many letters in the title, and that apparently changed it into a word you may not post.

The character's name (and the name of the story he's from) is "Puss in Boots", which should post fine.
