Fwib: The problem here is extradimensional pockets, from your examples. And when it comes to Wish economy, well. That's self explanatory.
Time travel, instant relocation, bending reality like a demigod, these things all break credibility of SciFi and Fantasy genres, yet why do people insist on including them?
Overblown pseudo-science/magic practically ruined the first Star Trek, let alone Forgotten Realms... ughh
Damn I fell behind, losing internet for a day and a half.
That's what I get for trying to switch from Kerio Firewall to Zonealarml; blue screen of deaths, sudden-reboots when connecting to internet, and general loss of ALL firewalls.
Scrubbing registries, digging for 'complete uninstall' utilities, and ample reboots later, I'm back on track.. and.. using Windows Firewall since neither will install now.
Here's to Sunbelt/Kerio and Zonelabs! May your software ever suck.
Woops, more to add:

Well, most of them run into the Fighter problem that they don't really have theme-appropriate crap to do at higher levels of the game. It's worse, really, because Fighters can thematically go Karate Kid and whip out all kinds of crazy kung-fu tricks, while a turtle is just a turtle.
The answer is to make the animal classes short, because there really is only so far that beaks and shells can take you. After that, they have to multiclass.
I like that. And not to spoil anything, but.. oh what the hell, I'll spoil it.
4th Ed with have 'monster roles' very similar to this.
PC classes too.
Nevertheless, that doesn't mean anyone else can't make their own. In fact, judging from history, it would probably be better if WOTC didn't make 'animal levels' since they would just fuck it up and errata them repeatedly.
If you're at a loss, how about categorizing loosely by Class (or if really weird, Phylum.. for like... oozes, invertebrates, etc)

Although, mammalia would need more subgroups like Predator, Scavenger, and Herd Beast. They could be subtypes, or PrCs haha
