This is awesome. What's the story with the hands?

Rakshasas just have backwards hands in Forgotten Realms and other modules.

He looks so amazingly self-satisfied and arrogant. Your style is awesome!

In Dungeons and Dragons, yes, but Pathfinder spiced up the rakshasha fluff a little bit more and allowed them to have any animal head, as long as that head embodied the depravity that the rakshasha possesses (for example, the tiger head is supposed to symbolized cruelty and ferocity).

In the new Bestiary 3 product, they actually expanded the rakshasha into an entire outsider subtype, adding in roughly four new types of rakshasha.

Yeah, Rakshasa have always been described as having animal heads (With Apes and Tigers being the most popular), however, the are always depicts them as Tigers.

What different kinds of animal heads can Rakshasas have? Up until now, I've only known of tiger-headed and monkey-headed types.

Где-то я видел уже слово "ракшас"..) А фишка с вывернутыми руками - интересная. Вроде бы даже нигде ещё не использована?)

Ракшасы есть в D&D, а конкретно их можно встретить в Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of Underdark, только там это "гуманоидные тигры" (Оо), руки у них там прямые, но люди у них там тоже ценятся как рабы.

Про тигров - они ещё и в Everquest были вроде.. Но гуманоидные... Я бы обыграл как тигролики\тигролюди\что-то в духе. Локализации наши всегда отличались неадекватностью некоторой)
Например, перевести класс из L2, Scavenger(собиратель), как добывательщик(!!!) это суровищно. И таких случаев тонны.
Поэтому во всё более менее интересное играю на инглише)

Убей не помню где, но точно знаю что у Желязны были ракшасы. Эт был один из крутых демонов.
А про индуизм помним, как же) В курсе лекций оно было в универе.

Heh, I bet I wasn't the first to read about those hands in the Monster Manual and wonder why they did something so weird... unless they were in the second Manual?
