[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5975074, member: 57383"] When I upload the Weresmilodon to the Creature Catalog I'm going to include the "Were-Sabretooth" version by adding the following: [CENTER]* * *[/CENTER] [B][SIZE="3"]In Mystara[/SIZE][/B] Weresmilodon are not known to exist on on the surface of Mystara, but can be encountered in the hollow interior of that world, where they are known as weresabretooths. A Mystaran weresmilodon, like other lycanthropes that live in the Hollow World, is not affected by the full moon — for there are no moons inside Mystara's Hollow World. A weresabretooth gains the Hollow Hunger ability described below, giving it shapeshifting problems based on hunger instead. [INDENT][COLOR="White"][B]Hollow Hunger (Ex):[/B] The lycanthropes of Mystara's Hollow World are not tied to the cycle of the moon, their shapeshifting is driven by hunger instead. A Hollow World lycanthrope (both true and afflicted lycanthropes) can only derive nourishment by eating fresh meat while in animal or hybrid form. It may not satisfy its hunger with any other food. If a Hollow World lycanthrope goes for 24 hours without satisfying its hunger for flesh, it must succeed at a DC20 Control Shape check or involuntarily assume animal form and hunt for prey. If it succeeds, the lycanthrope must make additional Control Shape checks every 24 hours (DC 20 plus 5 per additional day), or whenever it is presented with fresh meat or prey. Once a hungry Hollow World lycanthrope makes an involuntarily change, it cannot change back to humanoid form until it has fed. A true lycanthrope with hollow hunger has Control Shape as a class skill for all its classes and its levels of animal. It also has a +5 racial bonus on Control Shape checks.[/COLOR][/INDENT] This variant is based on the "Were-Sabretooth" from the [I]Hollow Earth Campaign Set[/I] (1990) by Aaron Allston. [/QUOTE]
