Gnoll Were-Hyena

[Wize Harlequin]

If a gnoll contracted lycanthropy from a were-hyena what would be the effect?

Would said gnoll become more gnolly once a month?

[The Raven Black]

We now need a were-human monster.

Also were-elf, were-dwarf, were-halfling ...

I'm now picturing a werehalfling Jotunborn.

Kholo wasn't actually an ogl change. Kholo has been the cultural name since at least before ogl with the Mwangi Expanse, the way ysoki is used for ratfolk, amurrun is used for catfolk, and Iruxi for lizardfolk. Though I haven't read much 1E books on gnolls to know if kholo was used back then.

Unrelated: I always liked how Starfinder favored the cultural name ysoki instead of ratfolk. I hope PF3 embraces the cultural names, as it's always a shame to see so many players overlooking those names in practice.

I do too. We're seeing it a bit more with PF2 ancestries, Azerketi are called, well, Azerketi now, instead of Gillmen, but it's still not applied equally across all ancestries.

And far as I know Halflings still have no name for themselves, unless it's slipped in somewhere that I'm not aware of?

All my time I've never ran into that one. Can you please put a spoilered title of what book that's from? I'm curious to check it out.

My apologies. It was a joke. This is not from Paizo. It comes from the Dragonlance setting where the mere mention of the name sent people in frothing fits.

Clowns tripping on clowns out here!

[moosher12]

Ah, thanks for the clarification then. All good.

I originally read them as just Krynn's name for the same thing so the repulsion never jibed with me (especially from those that enjoy halflings). PF2's sling staff even seems a carry over from that.

As for the OP, I had thought of making a non-mammalian PC Animal Barbarian that chooses Ape. And when they Rage they adopt human facets, us being apes and such. :-)

I've played two PFS sessions alongside a Lizardfolk T-Rex Barb, and I'm thinking whether his arms retract when he Rages. Hmm. "You're looking a bit stubbier, buddy."
