Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zerith" data-source="post: 5454880" data-attributes="member: 99953">I Forget to mention this about being on the Feral side, depends on who you mean; If you mean, crazed and mindless like a wild animal that got hit by the busies end of the club one too many times on the head: No. If you mean animal tendencies: Yes, For example:-He likes raw meat and loves Livers; and if he was not worried about appearances, would likely just  eat it without a knife or fork either-Ignorance of normal, none defined, boundaries: if he considers someone a frined, he would not think twice about being in their personal space, at the same time though, if he was told not to go somwere by someone that, to him, held authority to do so, he would not arbatraly become ignorant of that boundary later, he would also not wander into someone else’s home or room (unless he considered that person a friend, in which case said friend could awake to him looming over them as he waited for them to wake up) Needless to say, this is a very complex part of his mind set, and exceptions do ably were I see fit.-Seeing blood and gore Differently; a carcasses does not hold anything revolting to him, nether dos blood (or having some blood on his person) he just sees meat, a;;though if the sence is horiric enough he might see otherwise. But in general, jest meat, and depending on what it is, and if it is under a day or two old, possibly dinner…-Making animal noises: Churring, Growling, Purring, etc (Cheetah’s can’t roar, so that’s out of what he might do, that said, they do chirp among other things. No joke, YouTube “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSickcDomwo" target="_blank">chirping cheetahs!</a>”)Etc.So while I’m planning on him being notably animalistic, he is one: Smart by human standards (14 Int, if my character is smart, it is stated to show it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />) and two: he has lived ‘in’ normal human society, all though, and by no means as much as a normal human would, as seen by his aptitude for ‘forgetting’ normal day to day etiquette (buying something, he will pay for it and ask for his change, but he might also first sniff at it if it is meat…) and while he can be considered a member of it, he tends to spend a lot of time out of it when possible. (He has been rather successful at finding work as a currier, so he tends to never stay long at any one place and tends to spend most of his time going place to place.)---Looked at werewolves, and the feats for Hybrid/Animal forms says “Same as human form” so that is how I’ve taken it so far, but is there a house rule saying otherwise? ---     As for having upped stats: with how I’m planning on leveling him, he would have +6 (in hybrid/animal form) by ECL 2, + 12 by ECL 5 and +18(full) by ECL 8.  Admittedly his Dex, his best stat, gets the largest boon, literally half (+8); so I can really see what you mean right here ^_^;[the Damage reduction that is, from what I can see the next largest boon, he would get at ECL 6 and 9: 5/silver and 10/silver respectively.]    --as for tacking the skill points away, I think that is nerfing a weakness; lycanthropes ,natural ones, have 3 level adjustments to eat, they don’t get skill points for those, and animal levels are only 2s naturally. So the hose rule shorts them(when they have all three level adjustments) 6 skill points at any time before ECL 15, short changing them on skill points even with that seems a bit extreme to me. Not saying they aren’t a bit OP giving the setting (I’m a newbie to D&D so I Don’t rely know details about balance yet) but I think if they need to get hacked at, maybe they need to be weakened somewhere else. Also, doesn’t low character wealth make Monks relatively better? (No weapon/armor to buy, and from what I understand, their unarmed bonus helps natural attacks… but pah, lawful is boring <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />)--Any ways, if you would rather not continue along this line of debate I could just use another character. And as for why I wanted to use a Lycanrope, it is because their a none standard choice that would be highly unequal in the setting that I thought I could sneak in; I loathe RPing “a perfectly normal guy.” Normal is boring, normal is real life, and I don’t think any of us are here to RP Joe Some pushing his cart at the store to buy beans and then roll the dice to see his he makes the spot check. Not saying I RP “Chaotically insane” at every turn though. (It can be fun, but not every character is a half devil that is having their soul shredded by their mere existence.)But I digress, give me an idea of what you might like instead and I’ll see what I can do with the concept while making the character unequal. (Odd is amusing to me you see ;3)</blockquote>
