[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8050038, member: 57383"] Erm, that's pretty much what the draft template proposes using the Wyrmling as the "base age category" and adjusting it for the base creature's size. The tables are for what values these result in for the standard SRD true dragons for ease of calculation. The "Creating a Weredragon" text allows other true dragon based weredragons, I just didn't include every variety in the example tables. I considered including those but decided to stick to true dragons to start with just to make it slightly simpler at least to start with. If we do decide to add them just using the standard lycanthrope template's approach to the HD and size would be the obvious way to go. Some such weredragons would only work with a Giant as the base creature - the Dragon Turtle's Huge size would require a Large base creature for example. Could have a Medium Humanoid base creature's for a Weredragonne or a Small Humanoid for a Werepseudodragon. Hmm… a Forest Gnome or Halfling Werepseudodragon would make an interesting NPC… So before I do a copy-replace for "Weredragon" what spelling do you prefer, Dracanthrope or Drakanthrope? I think I like the "k" version better. Do you want to do the Cynanthrope in parallel or leave it until we've finished these lizardmorphers? [/QUOTE]
