Lycanthropes as Characters
Becoming a lycanthrope does not change
a character’s favored
class but usually changes alignment (see above).
This alignment change
may cause characters of certain classes to lose some of their class
features.
Lycanthrope
characters possess the following racial traits.
- +2 Wisdom. Physical
abilities are increased by the animal
form’s ability
modifiers when a lycanthrope changes to its
hybrid or animal
forms.
- Size same as the base creature or the base animal
form.
- Low-light
vision in any form.
- Scent in any
form.
- Racial Hit Dice: A lycanthrope adds the Hit
Dice of its animal form
to its base Hit Dice for race, level, and class. These additional
Hit Dice modify the lycanthrope’s base
attack bonus and base saving
throw bonuses accordingly.
- Racial Skills: A lycanthrope adds skill
points for its animal Hit
Dice much as if it had multiclassed into the animal type.
It gains skill points equal to (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per
Hit Die of the animal form.
Any skills that appear in the animal’s
description are treated as class skills for the lycanthrope’s animal
levels. The lycanthrope’s maximum
skill ranks are equal to its animal form
Hit Dice + its racial Hit Dice (if any) + its class levels + 3. Any
racial skill adjustments of the lycanthrope’s base
race and its animal form
(but not conditional adjustments) are added to its skill modifiers
in any form.
- Racial Feats: Add the animal’s
Hit Dice to the base character’s own Hit Dice to determine
how many feats the character has. All lycanthropes gain Iron Will as a bonus feat.
- +2 natural armor bonus in any form.
- Special Qualities (see above): Alternate
form, lycanthropic empathy, curse of lycanthropy (in animal or
hybrid form only).
- Afflicted lycanthrope: damage
reduction 5/silver (in animal or
hybrid form only).
- Natural lycanthrope:
damage
reduction 10/silver (in animal or
hybrid form only).
- Automatic Languages: As base creature.
- Favored Class: Same
as the base creature.
- Level adjustment: Same as the base creature +2 (afflicted) or
+3 (natural).
