Special Conversion Thread: Lycanthropes and their ilk

Good idea.

How's this:

In Ravenloft
Many leopardwere prides in Ravenloft serve a race of shapeshifting feline humanoids called the paka. Leopardweres native to Ravenloft speak the paka's language as well as their own.

I'd peg 'em at +4 or +5. I think we should have one, since seawolves have one and they have some "by character class" advancement.

Very well, do you prefer the +4 or the +5 LA?

+5. They've got good ability score adjustments, excellent DR, mulitple bonus feats and skill bonuses, multiple natural attacks, and some highly effective SAs.

Updating Working Draft.

Looks like we've only got their skills points to divide.

The Wereleopard conversion we did uses the following:

Warrior 12 SPs, Leopard 6 SPs
4 Warrior ranks in Handle Animal:
1 Warrior ranks in Hide (cross-class)
1 Warrior rank in Listen (cross-class)
3 Leopard rank in Listen
1 Warrior ranks in Move Silently (cross-class)
1 Warrior rank in Spot (cross-class)
3 Leopard ranks in Spot

The Wereleopard has 16 skill points instead of 18. Shall we give it the same SP distribution but make them class skills, then cut a point from Listen and Spot?

Hmm... Also, they don't really need Handle Animal since they use Command Cursed Wereleopard on their minions. I'd move those 4 points to increase Hide, Listen, Move Silently and Spot by 1 apiece.

That works out:

Leopardwere 16 SPs
4 ranks in Handle Animal:
2+1 ranks in Hide
2-1+1 rank in Listen
3 rank in Listen
2+1 ranks in Move Silently
2-1+1 ranks in Spot
3 ranks in Spot

Skill Ranks: Balance (Dex) 0 ranks, Climb (Str) 0 ranks, Handle Animal (Cha) 0 ranks, Hide (Dex) 3 ranks, Jump (Str) 0 ranks, Listen (Wis) 5 ranks, Move Silently (Dex) 3 ranks, Spot (Wis) 5 ranks.

Skills: Balance +12, Climb +12, Handle Animal -2* [+2 vs leopards], Hide +11* [+15 in undergrowth], Jump +16, Listen +8, Move Silently +11, Spot +8
