POOH

(Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh)

Climate/Terrain: 100 Aker Wood, a demiplane; temperate woodland with the occasional blustery day Hit Dice: 1-2

Organization: Solitary No. of Attacks: 1
Activity Cycle: Day Damage/Attack: 1
Diet: Hunny Special Attacks: Nil
Intelligence: Average (8-10) Special Defenses: Nil
Treasure: Nil Magic Resistance: Nil
Alignment: Neutral Good Size: S (22 inches tall)
No. Appearing: 1 Morale: Unsteady (5-7); have to watch out for heffalumps and woozels
Armor Class: (you want to hit Pooh! Bad man!) 9 XP Value: Pooh has no XP value. You are a sick individual if you try to hurt Pooh.
Movement: 8"

Pooh is a small, golden bear, about 22 inches in height. An amiable fellow, he has been described as a chubby little cubby, and a bear of very little brain (not true, he is just a little slow). Pooh often goes without clothes, but sometimes he is known to wear an old red t-shirt.

Pooh lives a happy simple life, one of visiting friends (especially if they have hunny), playing poohsticks, hanging out with his best friend Piglet, humming, thinking up poems and songs, and having adventures. Though the demiplane of 100 Aker Wood is a peaceful one, sometimes Pooh has to contend with Jagelurs, Heffalumps, and Woozels (rarely seen, but all a potential hazard). Pooh has been known to set traps for the Heffalumps, but hates to use his hunny, mostly he uses yellow cheese, which looks like hunny if you put in a jar marked "Hunny."

If Pooh had to contend with hostile planewalkers, he would not face them in combat, but probably set a trap for them. Likely though the trap would work only if the intruders liked hunny, if Pooh can be bothered to part with it.

However, there being no treasure of any kind in 100 Aker Wood, just peaceful woods with friendly folk, Pooh is never much put out. Visitors are welcome to sit and tell stories or play poohsticks, just as long as they don't stay too long.

TIGGER ("That's T - I - Double Guh - er")

Climate/Terrain: the demiplane of 100 Aker Wood Hit Dice: 1-2
Frequency: Unique (there's only one Tigger!) THAC0: 20
Organization: Solitary No. of Attacks: 3
Activity Cycle: Day Damage/Attack: 1/1/1 (on a good day)
Diet: Extract of Malt. A Fussy Eater. Known to hate hunny, haycorns, and thistles. Special Attacks: Jump from tree
Intelligence: Average (8-10) Special Defenses: Bounce away
Treasure: Nil Magic Resistance: Nil
Alignment: Chaotic Good Size: S (about 23 inches tall)
No. Appearing: 1 (thank goodness) Morale: Unsteady (5-7)
Armor Class: 7 XP Value: I don't think Tigger has an XP value. Why are you asking?
Movement: 14"

Tigger is a tiger-like being, very active and almost hedonistic in his fun-loving ways. A very bouncy animal, he has described himself as having "a top made out of rubber, and a bottom made out of springs." And while quite capable of walking and an excellent tree climber, bouncing around is his main form of locomotion and his favorite activity. Indeed, he is bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun.

He is a fairly common sight, in 100 Aker Wood, bouncing around exclaiming such phrases as "Hoo hoo hoo hewoo." It is not known if this is a magical incantation or merely a unique form of Tigger language.

Although there is little hard research on this subject, it is believe one can "summon" Tigger on his home plane by beginning the following incantation:

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers"

To which Tigger is 85% likely to appear and provide the last lines of the spell, which are:

"Is I'm the only one"

He will then proceed to finish the remaining five stanzas (at last count). Tigger will then proceed to frolic with his guests, assuming they are there to party and make in general merriment.

Tigger is sometimes confused with the Jagular, a creature thought native to the demiplane. Very rarely seen, this catlike creature is known to hide in the branches of trees, and drop on you as you go underneath. Clever creatures, they are known to call "Help! Help!" and then drop upon their victim when they look up. While Tigger is known to leap from trees on friends, he generally shouts "Hoo hoo hoo hewoo," an important distinction for the wary planeswalker.

Tigger is not to be confused with two other tiger-like beings of similar size. Tony, who has an addiction to frosted children's cereals and can be apparently summoned by pouring a bowl of them. Hobbes, a somewhat schizophrenic little being who is sometimes wise philosopher and sometimes savage beast, and is known to accompany a small human boy.

PIGLET (P-P-Piglet)

Climate/Terrain: 100 Aker Wood, a demiplane in the Deep Etheral Hit Dice: 1-4
Frequency: Very Rare (unique) THAC0: 20
Organization: Solitary No. of Attacks: 0
Activity Cycle: Day Damage/Attack: Nil
Diet: Haycorns Special Attacks: Nil
Intelligence: Average (8-10) Special Defenses: Nil
Treasure: Nil Magic Resistance: Nil
Alignment: Chaotic Good Size: S (about 10 inches high)
No. Appearing: 1 Morale: Unsteady (5-7) at best, he is easily frightened.
Armor Class: 10 XP Value: None. Why do you people insist on looking at the xp values of these poor creatures? What did he ever do to you? Move along, move along!
Movement: 12"

Piglet is a very small intelligent being, in appearance of a timid pink pig of about 10 inches in height. Bipedal, Piglet has a preference for wearing a long, striped shirt.

Piglet is often encountered with Pooh, either playing and on adventures together, or in his lair, a beech tree south of Pooh's house. There are few souls more harmless the Piglet. Aside from associating with Pooh, the demiplane's chief inhabitant, Piglet likes playing Poohsticks, bright colors, balloons, and to blow dandelions.

EEYORE

Climate/Terrain: the demiplane of 100 Aker Wood Hit Dice: 1
Frequency: Very Rare (Unique) THAC0: 20
Organization: Solitary (oh so solitary) No. of Attacks: 3
Activity Cycle: Day Damage/Attack: 1/1/1-2
Diet: Thistles Special Attacks: Nil
Intelligence: Very (11-12) Special Defenses: Nil
Treasure: Nil Magic Resistance: Nil
Alignment: Neutral Good Size: S (18 inches tall and 27 inches long)
No. Appearing: 1 Morale: Average (8 to 10)
Armor Class: 10 XP Value: None. Eeyore has enough problems without some heartless munchkin PC going and bashing his brains in.
Movement: 12"

Eeyore is a gray donkey-like being, a sentient inhabitant of 100 Aker Wood. Although described as being stuffed with sawdust, he is as much a living, breath creature as Pooh or Tigger is.

Intelligent and quiet, one might argue he is the wisest being on his homeplane. Perhaps because of this, he is always depressed, keeping very much to himself. Indeed, his lair is often referred to as Eeyore's Gloomy Place (in the typical simplistic naming scheme of this plane's inhabitants). To add to his problems, Eeyore's tail often falls off and his house keeps falling down, most inconvenient. This poor creature, seems to be the focus of all pathos and misery on his homeplane, as most of the other inhabitants, especially Tigger, are so very happy go lucky. In fact, some planar scholars theorize that Eeyore is some kind of misery magnet, sucking all of the misfortune from the plane into one being.

Eeyore seems to radiate misfortune; any task he attempts is 75% likely to fail. Although the natives of 100 Aker Wood are largely immune, any planeswalker within sight of Eeyore is 50% likely to fail proficiency checks, miss on "to hit" rolls, and have spells misfire.

About the only thing that thrills Eeyore is being remembered on his birthday.

RABBIT

Climate/Terrain: the demiplane of 100 Aker Wood, located in the deep etheral Hit Dice: 1-2
Frequency: Very rare (unique) but see below THAC0: 20
Organization: Solitary No. of Attacks: 1
Activity Cycle: Day Damage/Attack: 1
Diet: Vegetables Special Attacks: Nil
Intelligence: Very (11 - 12) Special Defenses: Nil
Treasure: Nil Magic Resistance: Nil
Alignment: Lawful Good Size: S (28 inches tall)
No. Appearing: 1 (not counting his family members, friends, and relations) Morale: Average (8-10)
Armor Class: 7 XP Value: Maybe dfenz would like to kill him, I don't know. Normal folks don't be asking such things!
Movement: 14"

Rabbit is well, a sentient rabbit, no beating around the bush here. He is about 28 inches tall, and represents actually the most common group of creatures in 100 Aker Wood. While Tigger, Pooh, and many of the others are unique beings, rabbit has seventeen family members by his last count, and an unknown number of friends and relations. Some believe that rabbits are the original inhabitants of the demiplane, and that all others are latecomers. In any event, anyone encountering "Rabbit" is at least 65% likely to be encountering a friend, family member, or relation.

While these other rabbits may look like Rabbit, let me tell you they are not Rabbit! Rabbit is an arrogant little being, very pushy and decisive (hence his lawful alignment). Rabbit loves to organize things and take charge of any group events in 100 Aker Wood, though things rarely get accomplished under his leadership. Rabbit gets very flustered if he is interrupted. Indeed, any event over which Rabbit becomes in charge of is 50% likely (base chance) to end in disaster.

Further adding to Rabbit's personality quirks, is that he appears to the best speller in 100 Aker Wood, which is not saying much (well I mean look at it, they can't even spell the name of their own universe).

I would postulate that Rabbit represents the original native race of 100 Aker Wood, and a number of individuals exist. No one knows their original connection to 100 Aker Wood, or other rabbit-like beings. It is possible that a number of sentient rabbits exist throughout the multiverse. The Trix Rabbit is a deceptive being, bent on lying to children and stealing their hard-won fruity cereal, though he is apparently so inept at this that he is somehow endearing. Peter Cottontail is very close to Rabbit in appearance and closer in personality, mostly living a quiet life on the Prime Material Plane. The Easter Rabbit is somewhat of a mystery, and represents either a large number of sentient rabbits (perhaps plane-hopping rabbits, if you will excuse the pun), a demigod of some sort (Demigod of Chocolate and Painted Eggs?), or an outright lie told to children (hmmm). Bugs Bunny is probably the most powerful rabbit, owing to that he is capable of using all human tools, is nearly human-sized, and is apparently indestructible (the most any attack can do on Bugs is to stun him). Based on previously recorded exploits, Bugs can survive explosions, being shot, falling from the sky, and breathing in a vacuum. A tough individual, he has bested pirates, vampires, dragons, knights, witches, and something called a Martian.

The notion of a sentient race of rabbits is lend credence by the rabbit race of Watership Down. It is possible that entire nations of rabbits exist, perhaps with priests, fighters, legends, and such. More remains to be explored. With the odd exceptions mentioned above, they would appear to be a peaceful, quiet species that is much in tune with nature, not constructing large buildings like humans or the demihuman races like to do.

I don't know about them being a PC race. Send suggestions if you have them. Ability score minimums and maximums, classes eligible, suggested kits, level limits, innate abilities, etc. They might be mages, hence the Easter Rabbit Myth and might make suitable druids or priests. Owing to the sometimes thief nature of Bugs and the Trix Rabbit, they might be rogues as well.
