Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

An excellent idea if it didn't already have Run.

Have no fear, Captain Obvious is here!

Cats are not noted for their stamina.

They are good at bursts of speed and fast reactions, so maybe Combat Reflexes, Improved Initiative, or Dodge?

I favor Improved Init of that bunch.

I favor Improved Init of that bunch.

Fine by me, shall I update it with that?

By the way, are the proposed weapons (longsword, spear & longbow) OK.

I'm toying with the idea of swapping the longsword for something a bit more "hunterish", any preferences?

I'm fine with all that (including the longsword), but I'm OK with a different melee weapon if you desire.

I fancy something unusual like a bolas. Not a melee weapon obviously. Although the spear can cover that role.

How about a kukri or shortsword? That seems more the sort of thing a hunter would carry.

I'd rather not, since there's no hint of them using such a weapon in the original text.

Besides, it requires an exotic weapon proficency.

Unfortunately, I don't think they're OGC.

I'd slightly prefer the latter.

Bolas are in the SRD under "Exotic Weapons".

I'd slightly prefer the latter.

Me too. Shall I substitute the longsword for one?

If I do, I'd bump the Spear up to the main weapon.

Sweet!

Sounds good.

Sounds good.

Updated Working Draft with shortsword.

Ready to talk skills?

The SRD Lion has 8 skill points, divided Balance 0, Hide 0, Listen 2, Move Silently 3, Spot 2.

The Werelion has 10 lion skill points - put one each in Hide and MS?

Handle Animal 3, Jump 2, Intimidate 3 for the Warrior's 8 skill points?

That'd make:

Skill Ranks: Balance 0, Handle Animal 3, Hide 1, Jump 2, Intimidate 3, Listen 2, Move Silently 3, Spot 2.
