06-30-07, 09:29 PM Came across a mentain of these characters from Watership Down and it made me think how they would be presented in a setting like D&D 3.5. Frith is a deity of course and i'm thinking that the Black Rabbit of Ingle could pull double duty as a deity and avatar. Would anyone be up for doing a write-up of domain and abilities? Just the thing for a Bunnies and Burrows 3.5 game or my Savage Species rabbit cleric. :)

06-30-07, 10:52 PM I believe that's correct. I think Frith was basically the 'overgod', in charge of everything. You'd also want El-ahrairah and his owsla (Rabscuttle?) in the pantheon. I reckon, though Adams doesn't mention it (IIRC), that the other animal species all have their own patrons.

07-03-07, 04:40 AM I think the Black Rabbit of Inle would have domains over: fate, disease, death. I believe this would be so because there are strange pits in his realm that contain diseases, that death is obviously his main domain and fate because he states that he knows when life will be taken. Also he enjoys gams of chance which he always wins.
