Lycan-Entomanothrope?
OK, first of all:
Lycanthrope
Entomanothrope
1) Can both be applied to the same person? I guess so, but just checking.
2) Can you be in hybrid form for both at the same time?
3) Can be in animal/vermin form at the same time?

Re: Lycan-Entomanothrope?

Re: Lycan-Entomanothrope?
"Entomanothrope" is a template that can be added to any humanoid or giant.
“Lycanthrope” is a template that can be added to any humanoid or giant.
The base creature’s type does not change, but the creature gains the shapechanger subtype.
By RAW, you can do this.
Of course, by RAW you can be a Were-Bear-Were-Boar-Were-Wolf-Were-Tiger-Half-Drow.
By RAI... no, you can't be more than one "Were" type at the same time.

Re: Lycan-Entomanothrope?
The hybrid and alternate forms are based on alternate form, which changes your form completely rather than augmenting it somehow. Thus, I believe you can't be in multiple forms at once.

All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

Re: Lycan-Entomanothrope?
You can use Incarnate Construct template to negate the LA of this insanity.
Incarnate Warforged Werespider Weresnake can buy off its LA by 20, leaving it with 10 class levels, 8 Vermin HD and 2 animal HD. It would be a brutal assassin, trapping prey with its webs and then killing it with poisons, using its snake form when it wishes to stay hidden.
This were-combo has got a CR of +7, without class levels, making it a decent Evil Lieutenant. Its 10HD mean that you can get in 18 class levels as long as they're unassociated for a CR20 encounter. 18th level Druid seems fitting.

Re: Lycan-Entomanothrope?
Normally the same template can't benefit you twice due to same-source bonii
The question is whether choosing different animals for the lycanthrope template differentiates this enough
note: half-dragon is a similar situation. There is a WotC article that jokingly says its possible, but it didn't give a citation iircLast edited by PlzBreakMyCmpAn; 2010-05-11 at 07:31 PM.
