I had an idea to set of NPC only critter characters with mythology based abilities. For starters I wanted a cat that could see and interact with the astral plane. I got the idea after watching my cat one day. She was staring at the corner for the better part of the day (the same way she stares at any stranger that visits our condo). That corner use to have a chair that was used by my wife's grandmother when she owned the place (she has since passed on). To get back on track I thought giving common critters abilities such as psy-ad or sorcery that would be along the lines of traditional mythological abilities that have been attributed to those animals (such as cats having the ability to see the dead). Here are some of the ideas I had:
Cat with Astral Perception and maybe even an Assessing and Astral Combat skills
Wolverine/Weasel/Badger Psy-ad (Attribute Boost)
