Beast Blooded- Lycanthropy Race Template


Homebrew and House Rules


With a lot of effort to create a 0 level adjust template for PC characters I have come up with this.

The Beast Blooded v.2.1

For those who know it, originally this was way more powerful with the lycan spawn, but balancing it was next to impossible with keeping the flavor.

Summary-

Pros
*+2 Con
*+2 Circumstance bonus to desguies
*+2 Handle animal with one specific animal type
*1 Racial Feat

Cons
*-2 Int
*Racial physical stat and con bonus counter-able as a spell
*Transforming counter-able by fatigue
*Silver Allergy- sickened by silver
*Most prey animals, including horses -5 to handle animals and ride

So I think it is rather balanced, if not over balanced.

Feedback is wanted and welcomed!

Thanks.

What the hell does that mean?

Also +2 con is NOT equivalently balanced by -2 int.

If you read the file on the link, which is on the OP, it states that they can lose their racial physical stat bonus and the additional con bonus if they are made fatigued, as well as have the option of taking their hybrid form denied via a special counter spell. This also, obviously denies them access to their racial feats as well.

It is by 3.5 DMG standards. Was there a listing in the Pathfinder GMG?

I know it isn't when you put a +4 to a single stat, thus I made those who got a con bonus as their physical stat bonus be exempt from getting the template.

The statement on the OP is as stated a "Summary".


Whoa - wait, what ? Lose CON due to the fatigued condition - in addition to the penalties of being fatigued or exhausted? O.o

Yep. It is quite a negative. Their bodies cannot maintain their strengthened and toughened form. So they lose its bonuses. This is also seen with barbarian's rage.

P.S. Thus why I removed the silver vulnerability, in favor of the allergy.


Turin the Mad, do you suggest I tone it down?


Well I went to v.2.2 this does not have the fatigue effect, so you can't force them into humanoid form any more, only stop them from changing forms. I added silver vulnerability back again.


Short, this got kicked to archives. I was hoping to get some hits from other people by now.
