Not to take it off topic TOO MUCH, but can were-creatures speak in hybrid form in your campaigns? I know 3.5 made it so they couldn't, and I liked it that way, since they were bestial, but one of my players plays a weretiger, and almost dropped the character altogether over it, so I just let it go. To me, talking in that form is more "furry" and less "monster"...
