Thus I would as a DM determine that in humanoid form this bite would remain a d6 as well. This is further Confirmed when you look at the entry for the Wolf pg 278 as a medium size creature which the Rougarou Change shape's into has. Also by the rules for Change Shape pg 298 they retain their stat abilities and gain any Special Qualities of the new form if any which the Wolf has none so they being a wolfen creature themselves would neither lose or gain anything in the wolf form.
<p>This is just my humble opinion based on the rules set for from the Bestiery books and as a DM of 35 plus years.</p>Dragon78 wrote:So is the rougarou's bite damage a d6 or a d4 because the creature's stats say d6 but the 0HD rules says d4?
