My players all want to play intelligent talking birds. How should

>>54997783
In what setting?

>>54997783
>How should I run this, /tg/?
By getting a new fucking group.

>>54997966
Forgotten realms 3.5e

To the goddamn letter. They have bird stats with elevated intelligence and the capacity for speech, and can only speak bird unless they specifically choose to spend languages on others.

Thanks anon

Am I being that GM if I have most NPCs try to chase them out of shops and the like, even if one or more of them can speak Common?

Eclipse Phase.

It's in the core rulebook.

Thanks anon, I'll check it out as a backup

Depends on what kind of town they're in. If they're in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere village where the population is nothing but humans, then yeah. But if they're in a bustling metropolis that sees multiple races living together then I would give the NPCs more of a curious and weirded-out reaction rather than being automatically aggressive.

>>54998236
If anything, NPCs should treat them as curiosities. Birds that can talk? Those fetch a pretty penny.

Cheers anons, good ideas, and I agree NPC reactions ought to vary from location to location.

Now I need to come up with quests and enemies suitable for birds.

Is their life goal to become a wizard's familiar?

Also, the cockatoo is the murderhobo.

Maybe larger cats, I think they plan on carrying weapons like daggers and maybe short swords depending on how big they are

Plenty of enemies to choose from. Cats have insane stealth and should make going to the ground very scary. Predatory birds like Hawks and Owls in the sky.

Birds naturally form flocks and defend territory so you can have assassin Hawks.


Them having weapons seems to defeat the purpose, why not play it straight intelligent birds? Or at least create fitting weapons for birds.
