[QUOTE="Alchemist, post: 1251443, member: 6594"] The weretiger is ECL +3 by my MM, not including the 6 levels of tiger (animal class) the monster has. That's probably where you're hanging up. ECL adjustments don't take the "level" (HD) of the creature into account, only the extra-nifty powers it posesses. The 9 level class given takes the +3 ECL bonuses as well as the 6 levels of animal from the animal form. That's 3+6=9. :) So a book weretiger has, essentially, taken 3 levels of shapechanger powers and 6 levels of tiger. That's where the 9 level advancement comes from. The advancements given on the Wizards site are for only the lycanthrope portion of the race, not the animal portion. It tells you to take levels of the appropriate animal to round out your lycanthrope and make him the same as the book. Does that make any sense? [/QUOTE]
