Look what you have done Rich! This is all your fault! ;-) Before you know it everyone will be playing in underwater campaigns. And the blood of the LARP players who play these campaigns will be on your hands! |

Many years from now when all TTRPGs take place underwater, will the world realize the prophecy hidden in this poster.  The Seven actually refers to the 7 dice found in a standard Chessex polyhedral dice set. |

It would be awesome to have a campaign where the players only played anthro-beast folk. It could be Redwall in D&D! I once had the opportunity to play in a one shot campaign that we all played small or tiny creatures. Many of us were anthropomorphic beastfolk. I played a mousling, named Roquefort. We had a rabbitfolk, a pixie and some sort of beetle thing. It was a great time, a lot of fun. So I agree a Redwall type game would be fun! So, what exactly are the stats you used for a mouseling? I would absolutely love to add on of those things into my campaigns as a playable race. |

After looking through these I am starting to wonder what a Hedgehog-folk would be like. Just the quill aspect would be pretty interesting... What do other people think?

Definitely need an anthro-rodent list. Hedgehogs, Mice, Squirrels (already have those in this thread), moles, and badgers. Badgers would be like the Goliath equivalent for rodents.

I wonder though about specialized armor to better utilize the quills. They could be a grappling death machine, and that would be awesome! Thinking about a super buff version of Sonic tearing people up makes me happy. |

On the Wikipedia article
"There are about 5,000 to 6,500 quills on the average hedgehog, and these are strong on the outer surface, but filled with air pockets on the inside. The hedgehog uses its quills to protect itself from predators, using muscles which draw their quilled skin to cover their full body, and pulling in the parts of their bodies not covered, such as their head, feet, and belly. This form of defense is the hedgehog's most successful, but is usually their last resort."
Makes me think of it having a higher AC or something similar or a proximity attack(or whatever it would be called). Also, one of the main predators of Hedgehogs is badgers so if you had badger-folk the relations would likely be bad.

The armor can harden after the quills are through. That would be awesome. |

I'm trying to think of how this would work. Maybe the armor is just custom made or the race would have to have some chemical they could excrete to harden their quill to allow them to pierce through... but would it really warrent them having special armor or could they just have the ability to poke their quills though once and then their through?

Armor types could be a limitation of the race. They could wear leather easily, but metal armor would be custom and expensive.
