07-20-07, 07:30 PM Are there any playable monstrous races with digitigrade legs, hooves, horns, and tails that are +0 LA? Something that is not animal-looking.

07-20-07, 07:58 PM Playable monster races that have +0 LA, there are none I know of. The Dungeon Masters Guide lists a number of monsters that are LA +0.

You would be looking at things like Orcs, Goblins and Kobolds. Now I know they do not have digitigrade legs,(whatever that is?) hooves, horns, or tails.
Well, Actually I believe Kobolds have horns and tails, though their horns do not provide an attack and they are quite animal-like.

Honestly I do not believe there is much out there to choose from unless you want to have a LA above 0.

No, kobolds are digitigrade too. It means they have elongated feet and walk on the balls of the feet (much like dogs and cats). Kobolds are definitely one choice for this (odd) request.

07-21-07, 02:30 AM you could try a tiefling (MM1). They have horns, tails and can have digitigrade, hooved feet. They're LA+1, but I've heard of ones that are LA+0.

Although they are evil, you can work with your DM and ask if you can play it as a good-aligned character, as long as you can come up with a good back story. (Although the tiefling may have some evil urges, very interesting to roleplay)

digitigrade- walking on your toes like many quadped animals.
(the hoof on a horse is actually one giant toe).

While a peaceful but chaotic society, they look very much like the traditional 'devil'. Hooves, horns, tail with a stinger etc.

It is the lesser tiefling from PGtF IIRC.
It just don't have the outsider type.
