The industry needs to bring back rhino people and ant/bug people. Much better than furry shit

That's literally just more furry shit you cretin.
Why can't they just draw inspiration from mythology or some shit? Why do player races have to be anthropomorphic animals or insects?

You're just furry shit. rat king? You're a furry and a degenerate. At least you won't get the black plague from a rhino. You model yourself after one of the most dirty fucking animals to exist. Go back to your sewers, ants are cool. Most mythology shit is just animals anyways. Here's a human with a bull head. Here's a women with a fish tail. Here's a man with horse feet. Here's a girl with wings. Here's a man but he's icy. Here's a short man.
Was about to say, there's tonnes of mythology based around animal people. I don't really see an issue, but I agree that when they look like they come from some pervert's Deviant Art, it's a little off-putting

All of those sound way more interesting than "Rhino that walk on hind legs
"I'm not an anthropomorphic rat, you walking cum stain.
Ant people can be represented as Swarm-That-Walks. I think there was one of worms in Kingmaker.
Also, ants do not have fur.

Does it? They're all just descriptions of things that already exist but slightly modified. The interesting part of different races has always been about their societies and cultures and differences from other races. It's never been about what the actual thing looks like or it's physical features. Who cares about a race if it looks cool but acts exactly like every other race? If you want to make a cool race, it can look like anything and be made up of any real existing things as long as you expand on it more than it's pure physical features. Look how this forum jerks itself off about dwarfs. They're just short people but if you give them some love for axes and beards and beers and make them mine a lot these codexians love them. I want ant and rhino people in my video games because I feel the wizardry games set them up to be cool. I don't even like rhinos. Fat bastards.

Very good points, actually. I guess I'm just disappointed that the anthro races usually look like they shouldn't even be part of a medieval fantasy game. They look like they come straight out of some furry fan fic, but as you say the interesting part are the societies and cultures even though, sadly those are usually very generic as well.All of those sound way more interesting than "Rhino that walk on hind legs

Wouldn't even be against adding anthro races if they included cool shit like mothmen.
They're restricted by generic ass pathfinder races though so I won't hold out any hope for any actual creativity.
It seems that the best minds of Codex are on the brink of shocking discovery: everything humans fantasize about are related to humans. Be they robots, androids, Kitsune, aliens, sentient beetles, jedi knights, Khajiit, elves, orcs, direwolves and dragon queens. "The human heart in conflict with itself." In this regard games are art, and they are about humans, too.
So every meaningful zoological form is some reflection of humans. Even the Skaven.

Anyways. So who's excited for Oreads? They have some good mechanics for monk builds.

No. You just need to take into account that a player race must be humanoid, or things generally won't make any sense, like wearing armor and wielding weapons for instance.
Thanks for calling me the best mind of Codex though, nothing I said even warranted the dick sucking and I got it anyway.

He called me a best mind too. And unlike you, everything I've ever said warrants the dick sucking.

It's really good but RAW that armour bonus doesn't stack, which is balls. I homebrew racial bonuses like that to be increases to NA rather than NA bonuses.Anyways. So who's excited for Oreads? They have some good mechanics for monk builds.

That said Owlcat doesn't seem to understand what stacking means so chances are it'll stack anyway lol

Thanks!
+2 Strength and +2 Wisdom can still be useful. No clue if I am willing to give up Humans with their extra feat. But if Owlcat gets the critical hit confirmation with unarmed to work, it might be viable to pick rock monks.

To add to this, it is usually used as opposed to RAI, or Rules-As-Intended, with this opposition causing approximately 99% of the heated arguments in dedicated tabletop forums. Especially in the more... autistic parts of the internet. And for once, I don't count 4chan among them. /tg/ is practically an oasis of civil discussion compared to some other forums I've seen over the years.
Yeah. The pathfinder general on /tg/ is nice.

Still no answer from Mortheim on the missing badge topic. He must be a kitsune spy.
