When Savage Species came out for the main 3E D&D system it truly opened the door to play any character you want! When Noble Wild debuted I was ecstatic. Noble wild presents many types of animals for you to play as a character class, but keep in mind with the rules presented here you will need to follow the spellcasting system and class progression. However, remember that you can always use what ever you want! Keep in mind that there are two versions of these products, one updated for the Pathfinder System....and this base one that is OGL d20. Also try to look out for the Web Enhancements, sadly these extras did not make it into the Pathfinder version. I really enjoyed the book a lot, I just wish there were more animals to choose from!!!!
