Where do the Hooves go? (Herd Animal + Lycanthrope / Animal Lord)


Rules Questions

Slightly odd question - when an animal has hoof attacks (like, say, a horse or an elk), are these front hooves or hind hooves?

The reason I ask is because if a shapeshifter like an animal lord becomes a half-man, half-elk, and is using a weapon, then I want to know whether or not the shapeshifter still gets hoof attacks (yes, because they become kicks, or no, because they become claw-like attacks and he's using those limbs to hold his weapon)


Hooves are considered secondary attacks to start with, so I'd argue that if you've got some kind of hooved humanoid hybrid the hooves are likely going to be on the feet and become kicks.


That's not a very persuasive argument, really. Lots of creatures have claw secondary attacks, and are in no way assumed to be with their rear feet...

But. I do agree with your answer, just not the way you arrived at it.
Hoof-handed people? That's like the inverted mermaid... For everyones sanity, go with hoof feet. Horses usually kick with their hind legs, rights?
