Racial Skills: A lycanthrope adds skill points for her animal Hit Dice much as if she had multiclassed into the animal type.

For example, a human commoner with a constitution score of 11 as a human and a 15 as a wolf has 1d4 plus 2d8+4 hit points. To calculate total hit points, apply Constitution modifiers according to the score the lycanthrope has in each form.

Hit Dice and Hit Points: Same as the character plus those of the animal.

This modifies the lycanthrope's base attack and base saving throws accordingly.

Racial Hit Dice: A lycanthrope adds the Hit Dice of her animal form to her base Hit Dice for race, level, and class.

In addition, the lycanthrope may also gain an additional ability score increase by virtue of her extra hit dice. For example, a were-crocodile (Str 19, Dex 12, Con 17) would add Str +8, Dex +2, and Con +6 to her normal ability scores when she takes crocodile or hybrid form. These adjustments are equal to the animal's normal ability score -10 or -11. In addition, the lycanthrope's physical abilities are increased by the animal form's ability modifiers when the lycanthrope changes to her hybrid or animal forms.

Table 9-2: Lycanthrope Feats and Skills NameĪlertness, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative Lycanthrope characters possess the following racial traits and template modifications: Table 9-1: Lycanthrope Traits Name Natural lycanthropes have a +2 level adjustmentĮach of those lycanthropes can transform from its normal humanoid form to that of a particular animal or a hybrid form that is a cross between the humanoid and the animal form. The level adjustment of +1 is true for afflicted lycanthropy. The example above assumes a human base creature from Faerûn regarding size, speed, languages. 'Lycathrope' is a template rather than a race, that can be added to any humanoid or giant. In Faerûn, the following kinds of lycanthropes are common: Werebat, werebear, wereboar, werecats, werecrocodile, wererat, wereshark, weretiger, werewolf, and the elven lythari, a special kind of werewolf. Any kind of giant or humanoid can suffer from lycanthropy. Lycanthropes have the ability to change into animal or hybrid forms, and they sometimes do so unvoluntarily. Lycanthropes aren't a race, so much as a group of people whom all suffer from a common curse.
