[QUOTE="LeifVignirsson, post: 805666, member: 10833"] [b]And I quote...[/b] From [i]Races of Faerun[/i], page #144 Hit Dice and Hit Points: Same as character plus those of the animal. To calculate total hit points, apply CON mods according to the score the lycanthrope has in each form. For example, a human commoner with a CON score of 11 as a human and a CON score of 15 as a wolf has 1d4 plus 2d8+4 hit points. So, as a Weretigger... er, tiger... You would add the HD for your class, 6d8 for the animal form and any difference for the CON mods. And from page #146 Racial Hit Dice: A lycanthrope adds the Hit Dice of her animal form to her base Hit Dice for race, level, and class. This modifies the lycanthrope's base attack and base saving throws accordingly. With that you see that it affects your attacks and saves, HOWEVER you know that as with the Savage Species book, you will be playing as a EL7 character in an EL1 campaign. That gives your DM the right to level it out a bit to make it tougher on you, but it might be murder on your fellows PC's. [/QUOTE]
