[QUOTE="Zerith, post: 5448710, member: 99953"] ... Snipped O_o; As for the cheese, Shifters I don't think would work: he is meant to be easily written off as an energetic youth, and otherwise not stand out when not getting from A to B to Z much to fast for a normal human on foot (he is going to start with 50 or 60 base speed, yesh, Very, very fast…) and shifters stand out, a lot. As for a druid, they actually clash with him a bit, he is actually fairly naive; I’ve never think of druids as naïve. (for example, he is going to have a low will save; Druids’ best save is a will save.) And I never got the whole Racial Alignment for lycanthropes: it says right there that there that their Racial Alignment is assigned arbitrarily. And the proof? Lions would fit definitively under LG given the theme while Hyenas would be CE. Lions eat Hyena cubs, and Vica versa, and (male) Lions will kill Lion cubs that are not their own. (can also point out that Wolfs act a lot more lawfully then Bears or Tigers but this is getting off topic) so yesh, this part of Lycanthropes is just a bit of "Whaaaah????" to me And as for Racel class levels being a bad thing, depending on the Lycanthrope, you’re getting 4-6 ability scores per a level, the semi wizard BAB can easily get countered, hit chance wise, by the raised Str/Dex. and there no bonus attacks with animal form so it get felt even less there (Rats get 8 per a level, Wolfs get 5, Dire wolfs get 4, Tigers get 3 and 2 3ths, Cheetahs get 6) Also, forgot to ask, are flaws allowed? … Sniped again!!! O_O I do want the perks ( wouldn't? XD) but I also know that starting out at ECL 4 or 7 is just unreasonable given the start out level of the RP and how it’s set up, so instead I’m proposing having my character grow into its race levels/level adjustment so that is ECL is earned and not just a “I want it! Give me now! Ger!” hand out of lame B***ieness. That said, I’m not really attached to getting the fluff one way or another. But yes, depending on the options, as long as it can walk like a Lycan, shapshift like a lycan it will work as a lycan for me. [/QUOTE]
