I'm playing in a Wraith of the Righteous campaign and we are adding new players just as we're about to meet the chief of the mongrelmen (with the hope that we can recruit the mongrelfolk to our cause). I figured it'd be a seamless transition to have some of the new PCs play mongrelfolk, but sadly Paizo never made a PC race for them. I found a monster entry and an overpowered 3rd party attempt.

So I set out to make one myself.

Inspired by the D&D version, and other bits and pieces I've seen elsewhere, I put together my Pathfinder Mongrelfolk race here.

The basic idea of Mongrelfolk is that they can breed with any humanoid and manifest strange combinations of the features of any of their component pieces. It seemed like a neat idea for a race so I went with it. I added a ton of alternate traits since there is such incredible diversity among members of the race. You can swap out claws for wings, or gills, or flippers, or whatever other strange body parts you want.

The cool thing though is that I ran with the idea that as a composite of various races they can count as different races for activating magical items, casting spells, and even picking and adding subtypes to gain access to racial feats/traits for that race.

Please let me know what you think!

I've got a question about the Linnorm Hunter Style feat from the Martial Artist's Handbook.

You and your animal companion work together to make coordinated strikes against your enemies.

Prerequisites: Cha 13, must have or be an animal companion.

Benefit: Once per round while using this style, when an ally with this feat hits a target that you both threaten using a melee attack, you gain a +2 bonus on attacks of opportunity made against that target for 1 round. Enemies that provoke attacks of opportunity from your ally also provoke attacks of opportunity from you so long as you threaten them (even if the situation or an ability would normally deny you the attack of opportunity).

Special: Animal companions with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2 can take this feat.

It says that animal companions can take it, but it also has a CHA 13 prereq. Looking through a list of animal companions there are very, very few that meet that requirement.

Is this feat only intended for those handful of animals? Or does the Special text supersede that prerequisite?
