8 months from now our DM is going to run a Pathfinder Fantasy Adventure Path (I belive skull and shackles). Where we all get to be Pirates by the sound of it. Anyway I was helping my fellow players come up with character ideas... and then I had it. The ultimate troll vs Lycanthrope Hunters.
Ratfolk, were-rat. Only thing is I'm concerned about a few things in regards to this actually kinda funny idea. When I came up with it I came to the conclusion that: If Ratfolk are small rat humanoid hybrids, and were rats are in term similar. How would people know when he transforms? I believe by rules they would stay the same size so they could potentially wear the same armor. The transformation I couldn't see much of a difference, statistical difference shore, and defintly a difference in attitude/emotions/thought process would be much more animalistic than the normal ratfolk. So I guess the major question is...
Would a ratfolk wererat be as "stealthy" so to speak as it sounds? (What I mean by that is how would people tell the difference if they can.), would this confuse lycanthrope hunters? What level of DC of whatever skill would they need to spot the difference? Am I even right about physical differences not really changing much?
It's a funny idea, but it also seems horribly confusing so I would like to see other input on it.
