Tigermen/Lionmen/Bearmen are probably a flat advantage, aside from needing custom equipment.

Being able to fly (birdmen) is a huuuuge survival advantage, being able to escape from danger pretty easily in most situations. They tend to be smaller, and thus able to carry less. I'd recommend Albatross people, I think they're the largest flying bird people you can get.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

A couple of unusual suggestions.

Giant Tortoise Man: just make sure you figure out the command for hiding in your shell.
Jumping Spider Man: jumping spiders are awesome little critters, plus having a bunch of arms is cool right?

play brown recluse spider man. if your doing modding, give im ability to swim when learned and the size of a human. but even without that its pretty fine. minus that at beggining nearly everything will weight you down to crawl. they are similiar to jumping spiders tho

However human crossbowmen and mayby other races too are perfectly capable of hitting you with a bolt even if your several z levels above them. Avoid setting them off.

Well then, get on with it!

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Id like to put forward a suggestion of playing a female mosquito woman wrestler, a stealthly bear-hugger who draws in people into a lethal embrace, repeatedly bites them looking for latches and then using her (female only) special animalmen ability begins draining them of blood until they die.

venom/poison bites arent quite cool cause it takes a lenght of time for em to kick in, and they are useless on larger targets

Yup. Animal men that can wear dwarf/elf/goblin-sized armor include aardvark men, cassowary men, cheetah men, ibex men, impala men, leopard men, mountain goat men, sponge men(?!), capybara men, wolf men, and emu men. Cougar and hyena men can wear armor sized for dwarves and humans. Jaguar men and wild boar men can wear human armor.
