[3.5e]I wanna play a Werewolf Pc, give me a hand
hi guys, me dm is on what he calls DM vacations, so one of us (the party members) is going to be the new DM for some time in a completly new campaing starting at lvl 5.
After reading all the monster manuals at work, i decided to try a template, in this case one with not much LA so i chosed the werewolf template.
Its a good idea for role play and i whant to se me pals faces when i first transform durning full moon, if the survive, it gonna be a nice surprice.
No, im not planing to kill them, i want to be a member of the party which is gonna be so far: a cleric a duskblade a wizzard and me, the werewolf ranger.
i think the best choise is to go for the warshaper PrC.
what do you recomend, feats, classes or base race for the character.
i thougt for human, wild elf, or even raptorian to be a winged werewolf.
please coment as much as u want, thanks

Re: I wanna play a Werewolf Pc, give me a hand
So your plan is to start the game as a level 1 afflicted lycanthrope with 3d8+ con x3 hp, +2 BaB and bad saves? Good luck surviving until warshaper. And you don't plan on changing form until the first full moon? You are going to be seriously gimpy my friend.
Consider a 1 HD animal? Were dog? Were Badger? Were Snake? Then you can at least be second level, or be a natural lycanthrope, with DR 10 and control over your changes.Last edited by Gnaeus; 2010-05-04 at 03:43 PM.

NOTE: You'll only be able to squeeze in 1 level of Ranger at 5th level, since you also acquire a wolf's 2 animal HD on top of the +2 (minimum) LA.

Re: I wanna play a Werewolf Pc, give me a hand
yes, those are the risks, i know. but see it like you where going to roll play an aflicted lycan, you are not gonna join the adventurars and say it out loud or transform in each encounter and then pretend it never happens.
the idea for the character roleplay will be for him to learn how to control his body for protecting the others and take revenge over those who make him what he is ( the most cool character on the table).

You do know that voluntarily shifting automatically changes your alignment to Chaotic Evil, right?

Since you'll be starting at level 5, how about wildshape variant ranger?
You can play it as a werewolf, though you won't have hybrid form.Quotes:Praise for avatar may be directed to Derjuin.Spoiler

And you don't even have to be JUST a werewolf. You can be a pan-were.
Hooray for dire weasels?

Re: [3.5e]I wanna play a Werewolf Pc, give me a hand
It sounds like you've solved your problem, but I just wanted to point out that Werewolf is offered for +1 LA, no HD on the WotC site. You need to sink more levels if you want the full benefits, but you explicitly can take levels in a real class before finishing.
It might not work as well as a Shapeshift Druid dip or something like that, but it actually makes you a werewolf, if that's what's important.Last edited by Pluto; 2010-05-04 at 08:54 PM.

Re: [3.5e]I wanna play a Werewolf Pc, give me a hand
well that solves the template problem.
any ideas for the class optimization, my original idea again were ranger and warshaper.

Consider Lion Totem Barbarian 1, for Pounce.
Consider Scout (& Swift Hunter) for Skirmish Damage.
Seriously consider getting that 3rd LA for Hybrid Form & increased Damage Reduction.
