So I'm running a modern-ish Pathfinder game at my college--the basic premise is that they're using their fantasy character classes as super powers to fight monsters--and one of my players decided he wanted to play his monk as having amnesia. And he's allowing me to come up with the character's history which he has forgot.

Yeah. He'll probably regret this.

I've got some vague ideas, but nothing concrete, and I'm hoping there might be something one of you guys might toss out that sparks my brain to work better.

What we know about the monk is this: that he killed someone and felt guilty about it (which led to the amnesia), that he's a devout Catholic, and that he was working at a taco stand when the other PCs encountered him.

So I'll be getting married in about a month and I'm trying to persuade a friend of mine to run a one-session game for a possible joint bachelor/bachelorette party. (Most of our friends are gamers.) Anyway, I've been telling said friend that I totally want an all-goblin all-bard game, but that's mostly just me messing with him. I'm actually looking for suggestions, though, as for what kind of game to get him to run. Things that can be played while drunk may be helpful.

Say you have an adult, huge-sized silver dragon who is quite friendly to your party (by virtue of being the half-dragon barbarian's mother.) Is it possible for her to give some or all of your PCs a lift on her back if it were an emergency? (Assume five PCs of normal size, one of which could fly on her own if need be.)

So I'm running my first campaign ever and it's in a self-created world in which, among other things, there is a sizable natural lycanthrope population. It's your basic Defeat The Evil Overlord And Save The Kingdom deal, though I've hopefully got enough twists to make it interesting. We played our first campaign last Thursday and the players seem to be enjoying it. Anyway, I'm trying to get stuff for later sessions prepared before the end of my winter break, which brings me to the matter I need advice on.

Two of the NPCs I plan to have my players encounter once they've leveled up sufficiently are a pair of lycanthrope Failed Heroes who tried defeating said Evil Overlord and got their butts righteously spanked because they were unprepared (ie didn't level up enough first.) The first of the two, Macavite, I've got mostly figured out. (He's a chaotic neutral weretiger Rogue/Bard/Arcane Trickster who is trying to become a god.) It's the second, Oengus, who I need advice on. Basically, I need to figure out what kind of werecreature the guy is.

Oengus is, as it says in the subject, a ranger/druid/nature warden. He started out as a ranger for his first four levels, did three levels of druid, and then prestiged classed into nature warden. Alignment-wise he's true neutral. His animal companion is an auroch named Oleary, his favored enemy is monstrous humanoid, and his favored terrain is the prairie. None of the pre-made lycanthrope types in the bestiaries seem to fit him--though the werebear comes closest--but I can't seem to figure out what kind of werething he should be otherwise. (Wererabbit? Weresheep? Werecow?)

So. Advice?
