==Chocobos as Characters==

While it is unorthodox, chocobos can be played as characters. To do so, the world should be populated by sentient chocobos primarily, sentient chocobos should be commonplace, or the character should be an [[SRD:Awaken|awakened]] chocobo. For more specific rules and details on having chocobos as characters, see the variant rule about it, [[Playing Chocobos (3.5e Variant Rule)|here]].

===Chocobo Race===

There is only one chocobo race, rather than having a unique race for each color. The character begins as a drab-colored chocobo and later develops its unique color after gaining levels by incorporating a variant rule ([[Scaling Races (3.5e Variant Rule)|scaling races]]) made by [[User:Lord Dhazriel|Lord Dhazriel]].

The chocobo race can be found [[Chocobos (3.5e Race)|here]].

===Chocobo Base Classes===

Chocobos are not like normal character in that they cannot take levels in normal base classes or prestige classes. Instead, they have their own specialized base and prestige classes. There are five base classes: the [[Choco-Mage (3.5e Class)|Choco-Mage]], the [[Choco-Priest (3.5e Class)|Choco-Priest]], the [[Choco-Thief (3.5e Class)|Choco-Thief]], the [[Choco-Warrior (3.5e Class)|Choco-Warrior]], and the [[Psy-Cobo (3.5e Class)]].

Choco-Mages are chocobos who dabble in and attempt to master the arcane arts. Besides the regular spellcasting capabilities you might expect, they can also cast things like ChocoBall and other abilities linked to their color of choice.

Choco-Priests are chocobos who revere nature and draw from it divine power. Some of them are evil, but most are good and helpful. They protect chocobo kind with their abilities, especially the Hallow Forest ability.

Choco-Thieves are sneaky chocobos with a penchant for the seedy. They are skillful and dextrous, and just as capable as a humanoid rogue.

Choco-Warriors are powerful physical combatants and adversaries not to be trifled with. They make use of the chocobo's ability to jump and run in their attacks.

Psy-Cobos, while weaker in power due to their detriment to intelligence, are capable of great things through their psionic powers.

===Chocobo Prestige Classes===

Like base classes, chocobos have prestige classes all their own: the [[Archwark (DnD Prestige Class)|Archwark]], the [[Chocobo of War (DnD Prestige Class)|Chocobo of War]], the [[Choco-Burglar (DnD Prestige Class)|Choco-Burglar]], the [[Chocomancer (DnD Prestige Class)|Chocomancer]], the [[Choco-Phant (DnD Prestige Class)|Choco-Phant]], the [[Chocobo Runner (DnD Prestige Class)|Chocobo Runner]], the [[Choco-Ssassin (DnD Prestige Class)|Choco-Ssassin]], the [[Choco-Thug (DnD Prestige Class)|Choco-Thug]], the [[Divine Wark (DnD Prestige Class)|Divine Wark]], the [[Shadow Chocobo (DnD Prestige Class)|Shadow Chocobo]], and the [[Warkserker (DnD Prestige Class)|Warkserker]].

'''''~ATTENTION~''''': The Prestige Classes with their names in red have not been made yet, and so the links do not work.

===Chocobo Character Equipment===

Chocobos have some unique equipment, but much of it is similar to that used by regular characters.

Chocobos have their own weapons, which can be found listed [[User:Valentine the Rogue/Chocobo Weapons|here]]. They use barding, but their armor is less expensive than regular barding, due to the expected ubiquity of chocobos in a setting that has them as characters. Their armor is listed, along with AC bonuses, armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, speed, and weight, [[User:Valentine the Rogue/Chocobo Armor|here]].

Chocobo equipment is very similer to regular characters, using much of the same items changes to the list of equipment for chocobos can be found [[User:Valentine the Rogue/Chocobo Equipment|here]].
