Unless characters are going to cast banishment and then cast follow via interplanar teleport, I can't see that detail having a major impact on the game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And now for today's entry:JACKALWERE Magical Beast (Shapechanger)Jackal FormSize: SmallHit Dice: 4d10+8 plus 1d8+2 (36 hp)Initiative: +3Speed: 40 ft.

In its natural form, a jackalwere appears to be nothing more than a jackal. It is, however, a malevolent shapechanger able to assume a hybrid jackal-human form as well as a completely normal-seeming human form.Jackalweres know Common. Most learn one other language as well. Of course, a jackalwere can only speak in human form.COMBATJackalweres prefer to fight in hybrid form using fang and claw. They typically use their human forms to infiltrate human society in order to "cull the herd." Their jackal form is most often used when pursuit, wilderness travel, or escape are necessary.Sleep Gaze (Su): Sleep for 6 minutes, range 40 feet, Will DC 13 negates. This power cannot affect a creature with more than 10 HD. It is a mind-affecting compulsion. The save DC is Charisma-based.Alternate Form (Su): As a standard action, a jackalwere can assume any of its three forms.Skills: Jackalweres receive a +4 racial bonus to Jump checks. *Hide, Jump, and Move Silently in human form include -2 armor check penalty for large wooden shield. Jackalweres enjoy a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.Design Note: The jackalwere was built as a 4-HD magical beast with one "level" in human. This accounts for its additional 1d8 HD, 4 extra skill points (3 + Intelligence modifier), extra saving throw bonus, and bonus feat. If you decide to give a jackalwere levels in a class, replace its extra 1d8 HD with HD appropriate for that class. The number of extra skill points may change, and a jackalwere with a character class gains 1 extra skill point at each level just like a human.</blockquote>
