Werewolf
CR 6
Hits 6
Yen Factor: 1
Master of the Claw
Master of the Wolf
Student of the Claw
Student of the Forest
Dirty Trick (x1)
Fist of Fury (x1)

Shouldn't one of those Claw things be a Fang ?

And also the doppleganger ability to mimic its opponents style as a master of that style is underpriced as a normal Master type. Interesting inspiration for a power chain. Say:

The Mirror Style ability proposed by Cirian, dropping the cost to 3 XP with a requirement of being a student of at least 1 style and the restriction that it can only be taken once.


Flowing Style
Pre-Req- Mirror Style, Expert of at least 2 styles
Cost: 4 XP
Benefit: Become expert of one of the foes styles of your choice.
This power can only be taken once.

Epic
Dazzling Style
Pre-Req- Mirror Style, Flowing Style, Master of at least 3 styles
Cost: 7 XP
Benefit: Become Master of one of the foes styles of your choice.
This power can only be taken once.


A similar chain could be done to mirror locations.

Not that it's a big deal, but this comes out to 10.5 XP for a CR 2 Monster.

Lizardfolk

Master of the Cautious Lizard
Student of the Spear
Spear (+1 Spear)

I figure this to be 14 XP for a CR 3 monster. Just make it a "Student of the X Spear".

Tisvon, the general consensus has been that its ok to overspend on a monster by 1-2 points and it doesn't add much of a difference (usually), but try not to do so all the time.

I'll add a few mods to stuff missing 1 or so exp, but it doesn't make much difference, nice flavor though.

Thanks for your comments and contributions.


Chain of powers looks interesting Kal, perhaps weak, I'm not quite sure, probably put it in that proposed powers thread tho? or start your own, maybe it'l get approved. Thanks for your version of the Solar.
