nuts, I was hoping for changelings to be previewed
I really like the feat to change into a human with a big nose.
I vote for Catfolk for next week's preview.
Tengu arn't my favorite race but it makes me think about how they fit into my homebrew world and how they might interact with the PCs. I'm acutally takeing a few notes for next Monday.
Maybe next week we can see some Tiefling/Assamar love? =3

Does the nose feat make you look like Steve Carrell?

I've always found Tengu to be hilarious, and now I'm going to have to play one again.
I vote for Kitsune for next week's preview!
Construct race, please!
after the signal kite I thought "weird, but perhaps useful", but when I read the terror kite description I just asked myself what you are smoking. I'm not saying I dislike it, nore do I like, I just think it's crazy. But I always like minigames in games, but this took me perhaps a little bit too much by surprise.
Anyhow for next week, since you already presented goblins, I won't ask for them again (altough they obviously deserve two presentations). So please tell us about all the different dwarven beers you've thought up. We know you have, no use denying it.
I not only want names and effects, but full recipes.
Edit: is the strength bonus from the feat untyped and thus stacks with everything?
Edit2: strength is probably size bonus as you just repeated what the spell does. Intention seems clear now.

Just to throw something in about kite fighting, my wife and her family are natives of Hong Kong and her father talks foldly of kite fighting as a favorite adolescent hobby. So, while I too am a bit surprised by an item specifically for this, it is a time honored Asain game of chance/competation and fits well into an Asian themed campaign...
HMMm that feat explains Igor from Persona 4 so well.
@Jeffrey Palmer
I've heard of kite fighting, but when some muggers surprise me in the alley, don't won't use kites, and I sure as hell won't defend myself with a kite. I mean, can I use my kite to sunder the weapon of a giant?
It seems like they wanted to make a cool mini-game (me like) but used existing mechanics (or at least key words) which makes it weird.
Is there really someone who takes weapon specialization kites? Will there be kites for real combat that drop bombs? Can I have a kite of flaming burst? How much ale did it take to think of this?
Questions over Questions.
Perhaps I'm just missing a critical piece.
In my opinion it would have been better to have a chapter about mini games, and the use of certain skills, abilities, items instead of packing a mini-game in an item description.
But again, I didn't say I dislike the idea, it just baffled me, and still confuses me and I can't really explain why.
I hope the preservationist got a mini-game too, like you've got a list of your summon spell, you draw some, got like 200 life and every turn you throw your monster into the ring and try to take the life of your opponent away, pika pika!
I don't know why people are so baffled by this kite fighting thing or the idea of 'minigames' existing in Pathfinder. I mean, all the rules are right there and it is just a fun thing they thought up for tengus.
Richard- Yes, preservationists can already do that. It is called looking up the monster's stats and running the combat normally! ;)
Hm, it sounds like James Jacobs has a secret obsession for chocobos, as they are the birds that go "Wark!"

It kind of strikes me as filler material, personally.

Yes, the bonus is a size bonus, as the alter self spell.
There is no mini game for kite battles in the book, but it may be a great subject for a future blog. I'll have to brainstorm with Chuko...er, I mean James Jacobs.

Gonna vote for catfolk. With fanservice-y picture if you could, please.
this book is going to be awesome!!! Catfolk preview next week please!!!

I'm hoping for a sphinx-like race that combines the features of gnomes and bunnies.
EDIT:
I always picture tengu as avian versions of the kif from C.J. Cherryh's Chanur series.
Tall but stooped, with the tips of their beaks or snouts extending from the darkness of their black robes, sharp-clawed and sharp-tongued, gifted linguists, sinister thieves, unexpected sensitive appetites, cruel and ambitious.
Kitsune or kobolds!
I love that tengu picture; he makes me think of some raven necromancer, eating the eyes of his victims to see what they saw in life (sorry, I'm morbid). Hmm, maybe a sin-eater inquisitor?
And for that bit with the long-nose transformation, I can see you covering for it another way: take Perform (comedy) and make your gigantic schnozzle a part of the act. "No respect, no respect! I'm mortified!"
Kitsune, Kobold, Changeling, Hobgoblin, Drow or Catfolk would all be great options for what to show next week.
Let me tell you, I am LOVING this trend toward giving races spell-like abilities through feats. I think it adds some really interesting flavor to possible characters.
Kitsune!
Kitsune!
Kitsune!
... that counts as three votes, right?

I may be behind on the times here, but I noticed that the spell header above says "Tengu Spells." I know the player companion series of books had race-specific spells, but does this mean we're going to be seeing race-specific spells added to the Roleplaying Game series with this book? This is important for me to know because I consider any roleplaying game book to be "core" and would therefore start allowing race-specific spells in my game.
Also +1 to Catfolk and Vanara while we're at it.
*ahem* Kweh

The headers mostly has to do with the section in the book the spell is found in, but there are spells that only target or affect members of specific races. So, yes, there are some race specific spells in the book, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

Good to know. I should have been more clear by saying "spells only certain races have access to casting" (like only a tengu may cast the spell above) instead of "race-specific." I'll take the omission of this in your reply as a hint that isn't the case. Groovy stuff.
