Optimization Challenge: Werewolf

Hmm... could you combine the Shapeshift and Avenger variants? 

You'd need to get Animal Companion twice   Otherwise, add in Venomfire, and you're a Fury/Rabies hybrid!  Gogo Kiba!

 


ok, that's it, whose going to start a diablo d20 PbP?

Are you going to do a cow level run?

Just remember, your animal Hit Dice do count as levels when determining your final character level, as well as the +2/+3 LA. For instance, a natural lycanthrope with a 5HD animal form and one level of fighter would be an 9th-level character.

If it seems unfairly weak compared to most 9th-level characters, well, the rules for playing monsters were never particularly well-balanced.

Depending on your starting level (what is your starting level? 6?) you might be able to create a better-balanced "lycanthrope" through shapeshifting races and classes.

Read the OP, the whole party is playing lycanthropes.  It is required.

Edit: Almost forgot the whole reason I entered this thread.  LINKY!  Not sure how useful it will be, but you might get something out of it.

Edit part deux: Wow, I kind of crapped out on that guide didn't I?  Time to add something else to my to-do list.

If your DM allows it, I'd go for Targeteer first, since it's damage is not limited to flat-footed targets.

[dna1]

what book is targetter in?

[Shadowhunter]

Targeteer is in Dragon Magazine 310 if I recall correctly.
