Hello all
Quite a straightforward question here.
In all the wonderful things that Paizo blessed us with in the 2E, we are missing the animal races and some "side" classes.
I know it just got out but I am excited to DM the new and awesome rules. However I got 2 tables and can't wrap my head around some races and classes. I need your help since we don't have the DM powertool we had. Here's the list.
Table 1:
Player A is a half elf Oracle. There's nothing that feels Oracle-ish. No curses or anything. I've seen sorcerer with a divine bloodline but it misses something.
Player B elf rogue unchained. Straightforward
Player C Catfolk wizard. We are missing some animal races in here ! We got them coming next year but I want to convert this year; the new rules and mechanics charmed me.
Player D vanara shifter. Now that's a big problem since neither are in the rules yet. Yet.
On to table 2
Player A: Custom race I made (pixie) shaman. No powertools to reproduce the race and no shaman. Sad panda
Player B: Vanara monk. See vanara above
Player C: Human druid. Straightforward
Player D: Human beings ninja. Never liked it. Gonna make a human rogue !
Any thoughts / inout ?
Thanks in advance

Races you would have to play around, you could potentially take inspirations from the bestiary for the catfolk.
But anyway quick run down:
-Half-Elf Oracle: Do sorcerer with divine bloodline, the curse part, you can just make a custom background (not that hard) to represent the curse.
-Elf rogue: nothing to add
-Catfolk wizard: see explanation above
-Vanara shifter: Vanara like catfolk just play around with ancestries, but anyway shifter you can just do an animal form barbarian.
Table 2:
A: take inspiration from the pixie in the bestiary
B: Vanara Monk as explained above
C: Human druid
D: Human Rogue, you could potentially add a custom background if being part of a ninja clan is really important to the character.
Note: Oracle playtest starts in October, so you could potentially just wait.

Hey there
Wow I can't believe I missed the barbarian with animal instinct. That's such a snug fit thank you.
I'll see what I can do for the races with your advice ! What about the Shaman ?
