I have an idea for campaign in my head but I need to find a good system to run it. Main thing I want is a system that would allow people to play humans, humanoids, and non-humans, with enough system and character customization depth to make the differences feel interesting and meaningful. Basically, if a player wants to be a fire magic-wielding phoenix or a psychic cat, they should be able to do that.

Ideally the system would also have at least some level of support for typical fantasy adventuring stuff (dungeon crawling, combat, social intrigue, etc.)

    Pathfinder is pretty close to what you want

    Especially now that they've officially added Awakened Animals and Tsukumogami to the mix

    I have a character all set up that's a psychic umbrella, one that's a Minotaur detective and one that's a skeleton looking for some meat to wear

    It's a damn robust system

      Ah, cool! I don't have much experience with Pathfinder. I'll have to check it out.

        Yeah, you can check out the rules on this website

        They're currently remastering some of the content, which they haven't gotten to on there yet, but the fact that all the rules are up somewhere for free is very nice
