[E-Tools] Lycanthropy

[FCWesel]

Has anyone figured out a way to do Lycanthrops in E-Tools? In specific Were-Panthers. I have a player interested in something like this.

Ugh, I don't even want to think about the problems inherent with lycanthropy!

Assuming that the thing you're most concerned about is the hybrid form of the lycanthrop, what I would do is create a Werepanther (Hybrid Form).rac file using the race builder. (I'm assuming you have stats for this critter somewhere). Then in the character editor build the character from that race.

You'll probably also need to build the character in his original race. And then you might want to build a .rac and a .mon for the creature's animal form.

No wonder they call lycanthropy a curse.

uurgh. Okay, that's it, back to good old paper, books, dice and pencils!

I wonder if it is possible to do templates in general then, vampire...etc.

Vampires would be done the same way -- with races. Someone made all of the PHB races as vampires (human vampire, etc.) and those work out pretty well.

That was me that did the vampires. I started on the lycanthropes but that was such a royal pain.

Vampires wasn't so bad, but creating "Lycanthrope, Werewolf, Human" and "Lycanthrope, Werewolf, Human Hybrid" and "Lycanthrope, Werewolf, Human Animal" just for one character seemed a bit much. I'll just do them as I need them.

I am tackleing all the MM2 art. Changing the pics to a format that will fit in eTools so when people start creating/adding the MM2 monsters then there will be all the pics that can be linked to.

Hey Talmar, did you ever post your Vampire file for everyone to Electronically consume?

 

[talmar]

Yes, I posted the vampire.zip file to the eTools Repository and the MSN boards. The both are still there.

Eric Noah made a few modifications as well so the special abilites and such are a bit more detailed and print out better.

Thanks.
