Awoken Species
Play an animal that has woken up. An awakened wolf can think and talk, but it is still a wolf: four legs, sharp teeth and a good nose. Now it levels up like any other character.

One choice covers class and species.
Each Awoken type is a class and a species at the same time. A level 10 bear on the Primal path plays roughly like a level 10 barbarian. A level 10 bird of prey on the Sky Lord path sits somewhere between a ranger and a druid.
Because that one choice covers both, it works the same way at a 5E or a 5.5E table.
Having no hands has a cost. You cannot hold a sword or use tools, though cloaks, rings and amulets still work. Your natural attacks count as magical from level 6, and like a monk you gain something new at every level.
