Lycanthrope DR

[Kiaring]

Did... Did... DD... Just... Take it TO THE MAX?



....unbelievable. The world is indeed full of surprises.


I support the suggestion.

[DangerousDan]

60%.

Some of the time.

AFAIK subrace classes get more then average DM attention and likely some sort of loot to make up for their (minor) disadvantages, but let's not forget that nearly every subrace gets some (major) advantages.

5/+2 dr is too powerful. that literally means lycanthropes become -even more- powerful. And the amount of lycanthropes popping up currently is quite a lot imo. Especially considering that no-one ever bothers to hunt them, or even be remotely suspicious of their presences.

If they were truly hunted, persecuted and hammered into the ground by everyone. then maybe. but i'm not in favour of making them even tougher than they currently stand.

Such cold hatred, Sir Snoteye. And here I am, loving you. Tsk.

Such said, I can agree with what you said, about the silver weapons not working with PCs, though.

[AfroMullet]

The amount of lycanthropes is quite a lot? You seem to have difficulty counting.

They are powerful, until someone uses one of the easily found items that enchants your weapon. They are not as tough as you think. Then they are not that much different from a regular character.

They cannot receive bonuses from their armor, nor any weapons in their animal or hybrid form. They are limited to 1d6+str base damage.

[Kiaring]

If people are concerned that lycanthropes are too easily accepted by the populace/adventurers of the Colony/island, they should make an effort to hunt/persecute them.

[Caddies]

That post by Dan showing my submission for a Lycanthrope app is bullshit BTW!

[Halfbrood]

Dan hasn't the technical knowledge to pull such a stunt.

I know Drago Jather became a local hero/villain by hunting one who alot of people loved.

[Gippy]

Lycans certainly need this -- but also need a damage boost while shifted. 1d6 + str does not scare anyone.

[Gippy]

Also, if they were not pathetic I think more people would hunt lycans. Cutting up a 14 AC opponent with a magic weapon is not hard.

[Not.Him.Again]

I think there is a major distinction here between the adventuring community and the local populace. The local populace would likely be scared to death of lycans ... (remember they are the people without magic weapon trinkets or in some cases weapons period). The adventurers .... eh they face a lot more scarey stuff on an almost daily basis.

[Mort]

I'm for boosting the lycans. Of course, that means that the app. will be harder!

I was for this 5/+2 DR a while back. It's nothing too serious and it would help a lot for them to survive being hunted or assaulted for being what they are (i.e. mean sonuva that everyone should fear or mistrust).

I'm also for changing their claw damage based on character level BUT only in hybrid form.

1d6 for 1-4 levels.
1d10 for 5-7
2d6 for 8-10

Or something like that. Something that gives them some fear factor.

[Not.Him.Again]

I agree with the claw idea a hundred %. Especially considering they are an ECL of 3.
