Racial Templates: Hengeyokai

Racial Templates: Hengeyokai

Oh boy, do I hate statting up shapeshifters! Oriental Adventures for D&D 3.0 has a race of hengeyokai - sentient animals that can turn into humans or a humanoid hybrid form. And 13 subraces of them, and as far as I know, there are many more in the previous editions. Good lord, I wanted to tear my hair out. Big props to Anon's Animal Album and GURPS Animalia.
