2 people marked this as a favorite.

Since it might be a bit too much for just the regular Campaign Setting + Player Companion combo.

And it would avoid the headaches associated with them being spread over multiple Monster Codices.

Fluff and crunch, how to play them, how to make them... Feats, Traits, Archetypes, Items, etc.


In this book I would especially like more Skinwalker options.

Perhaps even a re-written Skinwalker. As-is they're chock full o' flavor, but their mechanics make them lackluster at best (their stat bonuses are essentially +2/+2/-2/, with an additional -4 Cha...not the best).

they would be welcome, as long as they aren't the majority of the stuff in the book.


Ehhh, quite honestly, they're the closest you can come to a balanced PC lycanthrope. If there are going to be a bunch of Feats, Traits, etc. (PC options, for the most part) most of them are likely going to be for that, Lycanthrope THEMED (like Wolf Style), or ANTI-Lycanthrope Feats.

Remember Blood of the Night?

and technically, Lycanthropes are more suited for PC than Vampires.

and it would give GMs more options.


Blood of the Night is an odd book. Especially since a lot of the Feat options in there simply replicate abilities other variants of Vampire get already (EX Swarm Form versus the Nosferatu's...Swarm Form).


I feel like Lycanthropes would be best suited for a Lycanthropes Unleashed book, or maybe a Revisited volume. Otherwise it sounds awfully niche, and we already have Blood of the Moon.

Which was way more about Skinwalkers than Lycanthropes.

Maybe a Revisited + Blood of the Moon 2... but if they add more skinwalkers stuff, it wouldn't be enough.
