This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[Eberron] Shifters?

So tell me what do the types of Shifter's in Eberron represent animal wise? I know they're descended from lycanthropes (apparently atypical version for D&D.)

The reason I ask as a friend is sorta of running it, and I'm not a huge fan of D&D3.X, but since its X-crawl I'm trying to like it--but he's set it in Eberron.

So can anyone tell me about the shifter subspecies?

My take:

Longstrider = cheetah or other fast cat.
Beasthide = bear
Cliffwalk = mountain lion
Razorclaw = big cat
Wildhunt = wolf
Dreamsight = ???  Raven maybe?
Gorebrute = boar
Swiftwing = bat
Truedive = seal or whale

Cool, thats very helpful.

Right now I've got a Warforged Monk to play, but he may not live long, based on how deadly the game seams to be and the fact that I'm a face among heels.
