[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9294805, member: 58172"] I already do sense of smell as part of my Werewolf feat. This feat grants the ability to cast the [I]Wolf Shape[/I] innately, a slot 2 spell per Long Rest, whose duration is until the next Long Rest ends, whence stay in wolf shape indefinitely. Of interest here, the feat also grants Canine Olfaction, which augments the spell. It would be balanced to simply have the feature, but I want to have the flavor of becoming a wolf fully or partially to benefit from the sense of smell, thus make the wolfiness more flavorful in play. I want to see player characters become wolves to go sniffing about. I didnt do the "advantage to ability checks that rely on scent", because in the case of a canine, be it wolf or dog, the check is pretty much an autowin. In reallife, the scenting of dog or wolf is extraordinary. [B][I]Canine Olfaction[/I][/B]. While in [I]Wolf Shape[/I], your sense of smell heightens preternaturally.
