Is there a 3.5 werefox?

[NewJeffCT]

Just curious if there was - I couldn't find one with a search on google.

Lycanthrope generally applies to any animal so if you use small dog stats for a fox as indicated in the srd you can go with that.

For foxish shapechangers there are a number of kitsunemori oriental spellcaster versions in various books. Complete Minions by Bastion Press is 3.5 and there is the Kitsunemori Japanese setting book by Dog Soul Publishing.

I tried updating the werefox and it was irritating.

Namely because the werefox had some fairly unique qualities to it - only effected Elven and Human females, had a charm-person aura, etc - that really didn't translate well to 3e, since lycanthrope can be applied to any humanoid or monstrous humanoid.

There's a fox shapechanging trickster in "Creatures of Freeport", a fox shapeshifty race in Oriental Adventures, etc etc.

Thanks - but as Rechan said below, there were some unique features to the werefox from 2E/1E days.

There's a template for a werefox in the Ravenloft Gazetteer, Volume I (pages 120-122). The publisher was Arthaus. (Though it is 3.0)

Was there anything specific you'd like to know?

Just some of the unique features - I know in the old editions, it was only females. Was it limited to only humans, elves and half-elves? I have an old 2E module that did not really give stats, but said that the werefox gradually becomes elvish over time... but, it was not a TSR or WotC module.

There was a 3.5 edition of the Ravenloft monster book as well. I can look up the info later, after I get home.

Yes, this is only available as a template for women. (The subtitle of the monster is "Vixen".)

The template can be added to any female humanoid creature.

In addition to normal lyncanthrope traits, it has a supernatural power called the Bewitching Gaze, which is essentially a charm person cast by a 9th level sorcerer that only affects males (save DC = 10 + 1/2 werefox's HD + werefox's Cha mod). Also, after one year of being infected, the werefox's humanoid form slowly changes to that of an elf (a trait called Elfmaid (Ex)).

The werefox is not in the 3.5 Ravenloft monster book. (At least, not in my copy. )

The Gazeteer Vol 1, not the Denizens Of Dread.

Except that it references the DoD for most of the stats.

Most irksom, only "True" Werefoxes get a hybrid form, and it doesn't give you all the stats of the hybrid form either, annoyingly.
