I will post every few turns with my analysis of them to date. I am not
a VERY experienced player so my analysis may not be as good as I might
like.

was also impressed at how effective the Bite skill is.  By the way, he

I started my Feline because I wanted several things:

- Good dex multiplier
- Ability to use a large weapon to hurt the big critters
- Thieving skills

I am not going the Bite, Claw, martial art route. I am going the
Mid-range attack, dodge, Great Sword, speed route. So far it is good..
so we will have to wait and see.

I started with a 1 Strength and never plan to raise it... So let's hope
there are some real good Halle's and Fostil's coming out!

Starting with a 16 or 18 stamina makes them incredibly useful early on.
They can cast a LOT of low level CM spells before tiring.

I dropped out of Dulemasters a few months ago. The costs, speed, and
length of development before you had a usable character turned me off.
