A stocky, furry humanoid with the striped head of a badger.
Werebadgers in humanoid form tend to have a stocky build and large hands. Their hair is usually grey or black, often with a streak of the other color.
The werebadger presented here is a 1st-level gnome warrior and natural lycanthrope, using the following base ability scores: Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8.
COMBAT
Werebadgers prefer to hide or flee from threats, but if pushed they fight with furious tenacity. Werebadgers usually fight in hybrid form, since they dislike raging in animal form and being forced to fight to the death.
Alternate Form (Su): A werebadger can assume the form of a badger or a badger-humanoid hybrid.
Badger Empathy (Ex): Communicate with badger and dire badger, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against badger and dire badger.
Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): Any humanoid or giant hit by a werebadger's bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.
Gnome Traits: Gnomes possess the following racial traits:
A gnome has +2 Constitution, -2 Strength, Small size, low-light vision and a base land speed of 20 feet.
Gnomes have a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against kobolds and goblinoids (including goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears) and a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type (such as ogres, trolls, and hill giants).
Gnomes treat gnome hooked hammers as martial weapons rather than exotic weapons.
Gnomes have a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions. A gnome adds +1 to the Difficulty Class to all illusion spells it casts, this bonus stacks with those from similar effects, such as the Spell Focus feat.
Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—speak with animals (burrowing mammal only, duration 1 minute). A gnome with a Charisma score of at least 10 also has the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation. Caster level 1st; save DC 10 + gnome’s Cha modifier + spell level.
A gnome has a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Craft (alchemy) checks.
Automatic Languages: Common, Gnome. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Goblin, Orc.
Favored Class: Bard
Rage (Ex): A werebadger that takes damage in combat while in animal form flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, and -2 to Armor Class. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Skills: A werebadger in animal or hybrid form has a +4 racial bonus on Escape Artist checks.
Gnomes have a +2 racial bonus on Craft (alchemy) and Listen checks.
