[QUOTE="toshi, post: 5350365, member: 34204"] ...as shifter hybrid druids. ------------------------------- And if you liked the classical way with lycanthopy as an affliction:---------------------------------------- The race and half of the class are given, but lycanthropy is quite defining, so you only have the other hybrid class left to choose... In 4e lycanthropy is no longer an affliction, but lycanthropes are a race on their own. This is why you simply take shifter as race for the hybrid druid, so you get the regeneration through longtooth shifting. But this will work with different classes as well, leaving only the "Longtooth-Shifting"-instead-of-"Second Wind"-option for regeneration. Playing around with Healing Surges is meant to reflect the lycanthropic nature on the one hand, and on the other hand it is meant to increase the costs of using the shifter racial power(s): as you gain one HS back every second encounter, the shifter racials are meant to be used only every second encounter. The reason for this is to adjust the power level of the lycanthope. Diseases are still missing. Are they needed for PC-lycanthropes? Maybe something like "on a critical strike with a beast form power, the target gets infected with the disease (moon frenzy, filth fever, etc...)." You can pick druid wild shape feats, but they work only in animal form, not in hybrid form. Primal Aspect (if chosen with hybrid talent option) works in hybrid and animal form. Silver - if you want, you can make silver hits disrupt or surpress (for one round) the shifter racial powers. But if you want you can even add a vulnerability to silver! Because you can use weapons as implements, they will transform along with your other equipment when you change shape into your animal form. The fact that all equipments transforms is for simplicity for PCs. Lycanthropic druids are no problem either: they just choose hybrid druid a second time, and they can shapechange into any animal or their specific hybrid form. The "Weapons as Implement"-thing though is still only useable for beast form powers. Some paragon paths for the different animal types would be nice, too. What du you think? [/QUOTE]
