plan B

Well, the new monster manual does indeed include the Spriggan.. thank frak I did not write an ecology article for that race!
What I am going to do is create an entirely new one.
I tested out these guys in a Play by Post game a few years ago and I have a real soft spot for them (akin to my abiding love of Kobolds).
They are an alpine race of people with the body of a goat and the upper torso of a humanoid, with goat ears and horns, but a face a bit like a gnome. They do wear clothes and tend to decorate their horns, travel widely and have a great sense of adventure. The Dwarfs like them because they can be hard workers and canny traders or merchants, plus they are really good miners when they set themselves to it, though it is not really in their nature to mine without a fair bit of encouragement.
Bray are not a very exciting monster race, but I think they make a great player character race.
The Centaur is cool, but they are just too damn big! Minotaurs are too monstrous and Satyrs are lumped with the whole Greek mythology thing.. and the whole sex crazed drunkard stereotype.

I keep imagining a Bray in combat, and can just see them rising up on their hind legs, in that classic head butting posture, only they are about to swing a sword with great force, or smack something across the chops with a wicked right cross!
The nimble grace of goats is well known, as is their hardiness and ability to eat pretty much anything.. also, they are gregarious and intelligent critters, who enjoy company.
So.. this is my next writing (and art) project.

The Bray!
