    Here you go, /tg/ as promised.

    Redwall races statted as PCs for 3.5, both Gentlecritters and Vermin, as well as Sparrows and Owls.

    I'll start with what I posted before.

    Rats might look like shit, but they've got one power that makes up for everything - their breeding cycle.

    Seriously, every book there was at least ten times as many rats as there were the gentle defenders of wherever was getting attacked. Then the book would end with the horde getting routed and crushed when their leader died, so the only explanation is the surviving rats fucked like... rabbits, I guess?

    Either that or there's so huge fuckoff rat kingdoms halfway around the world and the invasions are a result of migratory departures of surplus population.

    Seriously though those rats were like the Krogan of Redwall. I wish they could have gone against type just once and had the rat horde be lead by some cunning-ass motherfucker who does sensible things and mostly reigns in his horde's destructive capabilities. Build a Rat-town and dazzle the stupid hedgehogs and otters with diplomacy then deride any raids that happen as the actions of a few rogue rats that you'll take care of with internal security.

    Leman Russ seems to be doing a pretty good job so far, but I'm curious, what do you think good classes for Redwall would be?

    Variations on fighter, rogue, and monk might work well. It's an incredibly low-magic setting though, so it might be necessary to spin these out into much more narrow kinds of fighting classes. Maybe do it through variant classes or prestige classes.

    I'd reccomend stealing some ideas from other D20 games. Action points are a must, but I'd also reccomend the idea of gaining a character bonus to AC with class levels - most characters don't wear much armour, but as they get better at fighting they get better at avoiding harm.

    3.5 may work fine, but taking the Warlord class idea from 4th might work - healing as inspiration might be a good concession to the narrative rules of Redwall where there are relatively few miracles but plenty of cases of people fighting harder as needed.

    Guosim's a tribe to which even children can belong. Maybe something like "Guosim Veteran" or "Guosim Farstrider" or something like that, with an emphasis on water and boat combat and abilities that take advantage of their small size (more tumbling, a grapple equalizer, bonuses to swinging onto or off of ships, something like that.)

    personally I think GURPS would let you design characters easier. I mean if you look at all of the heroes at the beginning, they are humble individuals, unless they (matthias!) are already a hero of redwall.

    You know, I really enjoyed the series but it's a pity Jacques was so damn rigid about the race stuff. He wrote a whole book just to reinforce that it's nature, not nurture that determines what a character is like - Outcast of Redwall, a ferret raised from a baby in the abbey is unable to stop being evil like the rest of the ferrets, doesn't care for anything or anyone, and at the first opportunity runs off to join his father's horde.

    Even in the end his redemptive moment is clearly meant not to be redemptive since his motives are expressly not good. It is canon, the 'vermin' races are Always Evil.

    The scales are a bit different though so i'd imagine Dogs would only be slightly bigger than Wildcats which were big but not enormously so. As far as I can remember the only mention of a Dog was of a travelling merchant dog, which also included a mention of a town, something else I don't think you've ever seen in Redwall.

    There is a certain impression of "lands unexplored" in Redwall, wherein live more kinds of creatures and nations and such. As time went on and more and more villains were rooted out of more and more distant lairs, Redwall's world did seem to grow.

    So yeah maybe they live in fantasy gaul and a few hundred miles south of Salamandastrom there's fantasy Italy where all the races live in cosmopolitan cities with aqueducts and see the tiny rural populations in the north as primitive and forgettable.

    Dunno if I agree completely. There was a lot of mistrust concerning Veil the entire time, being expected to be a vermin and spending his earliest formative years in a vermin horde couldn't have helped a damned thing, but it was pretty obvious he made the most unselfish choice he possibly ever could have when he saved Bryony at the end.

    And in a book earlier than even Outcast, the Searat Blaggut not only expresses incredible guilt when his former captain kills a Redwaller, he goes so far as to kill his captain and return the stolen merchandise and offer himself up to the Redwaller's and their justice. They're few and far-between, but good Vermin exist much like how shitty critters exist. There's been a number of Shrews, Mice, and Squirrels who've been greedy and self-serving bastards as well.

    You know there is a difference between anthropomorphics and a furry. The biggest one is that furry characters were created with the idea of poking a dog in the butt in mind. Anthropomorphics are created without that idea in mind. The biggest case in point here would be a Redwall D&D campaign versus a furry roleplay board. Whereas the furries would be interested in yiffing and god knows what else, a group of people interested in roleplaying in the Redwall setting would be...interested in roleplaying characters in the Redwall setting. And you know, making a story in that setting.

    Dammit, hit submit.
    Anyway, gnolls have two HD, and 1 LA. So, at level three, you're a gnoll with 2 racial hit dice... two levels in the "gnoll" class. At level four, you take your first class level. Then you're a gnoll 2/fighter 1 or whatever, with one LA, and you gain experience as if you were 4th level.

    Racial classes work similarly.
    You want to be a badger, but the party is starting at level two? Well, maybe you're just a kid, and don't have all the racial abilities yet. As you gain levels, you progress through the "Badger" class, until after four levels, you've got all the abilities of a starting badger. At which point, you can begin taking class levels.

    Assume 10s in all stats across the board, plus racials. An average badger (+4 LA) Barbarian 1 has 1d12+2 hp (average 8.5).
    A mole Barbarian 5 had 5d12+5 hp (average 37.5)
    A squirrel (+0 LA) Rogue 5 has 5d6+0 hp (average 17.5).

    Now do it my way. A level 5 badger (3d10+6) has an average of 22.5 hit points, which is more than the aforementioned squirrel. Still less than the mole, but look at how much better you are at ripping and tearing.

    In any event, I think Redwall would work better with a Wounds/Vitality system then with the classic D&D "I have fifteen arrows sticking out of me, but I still have one HP left, so fuck you."
    As you lose vitality, you're taking bruises, and flesh wounds, and tiring out, and narrowly dodging things.
    As you lose wounds, well, I say, I do believe that's a javelin sticking out of my belly, wot wot? I rather think that's going to need some serious patching up.

    This also makes it a little easier to justify healing via INSPIRATION and by DELICIOUS FOOD. That treacle didn't seal a big gash across your chest, but it did give you the nourishment to heal your cuts and bruises. Your captain's speech didn't close those arrow wounds, but it did let you ignore them long enough to keep fighting.

    Consider how many times that an army of ill-equipped communists, children, and churchmice, perhaps three of whom have ever held a weapon before in their lives, come up against a numerically superior force of hardened, vicious pirates and looters and barbarians.

    Now consider the typical body counts on either side.

    I really would suggest adding a bit more AmbiguousGrey, as far as race and morality goes. In the 14 books I have read, I think a grand total of seven vermin decide that they don't want to be evil anymore. TWO of these survive until the end of their respective books.

    Anyway, I support Warlord Fenris The Ruthless in his new rat city-state... I mean, Mayor Fenris The Pragmatic.

    Redwall is fairytale heroism in a can, and not much else.

    It was my favorite book as a kid. As I read more books in the same 'series' I became progressively more and more disappointed, until I finally stumbled across The Hobbit, got into 'real fantasy' and never turned back. But I still think there's a very powerful boyish appeal there, especially in the first book.

    There were a few good rats, yea. They didn't fight for the goodguys, but they "repented" and lived peacefully in/near Redwall. The only one I can remember is the guy who liked to make boats (and that's all I remember, so, I arguably don't actually remember him).

    The races are all a combination of fairytale archetype ("The fox", "the hare", "the snake") and quasi-fantasy cultures. There is a lot of variance in personality and behavior, but the archetypes are very loud and colorful, and that's intentional.

    I think that you're completely missing the straightforward, nostalgia-seasoned, fairy-tale appeal that it has for me, and I think that many others like it for the same reasons I do.

    Fantasy races are not allegorical of any real-world "races". Fantasy races are allegorical of various aspects of humanity, of the reader. Fantasy is at its strongest when it takes reality apart then puts it back together in a way that seems fantastical yet still resonates.

    But clearly you feel differently, and I'm sure there are others who agree, and would have fun playing with you. Just saying my piece.

    I loved redwall.

    Then I realized all the stories were really similar. And got a little irked by the races good/evil business.
    Still, they hold a place in my heart.

    Also they made me furry.

    as someone else mentioned you forgot the Monitor Lizards and also if I remember properly there was a Wolverine villain in one book so it would be nice to see stats

    Okay, never played D&D, but somehow the stats for hedgehogs seem kind of shitty.
    I also don't get where the -2 strength comes from.
    They're the cellar keepers who manage and brew the booze, and they wield mallets in battle!

    I only care since long ago some friends said I would be a hedgehog...

    And what about toads and pikes? There was that one kite too.

    I'm not going stat everything, especially if they're only in one book.

    As for those I've already statted, well, it's back to the drawing board now that I've some more information.

    Pikes and adders/snakes appear infrequently as mini-boss-ish characters.
    Well, pikes aren't really characters so much as that big thing lurking in the river everyone's trying to cross, but snakes are rightly feared.

    I was speaking more along the lines of the Wolverines and Seals and stuff, Monitors, Snakes, and Pikes are now on the to do list.
