07-23-07, 03:15 PM hey, is it possible to play as a werewolf in D&D?

If not, then any ideas how i could create a template for one so i could present it to my DM?

So far I've gotten a bit but any ideas are accepted. particularly skill bonuses and how to deal with the moon cycle...

07-23-07, 03:19 PM I own a copy of Night Howlers. It is a supplement for D&D that details how to use lycanthropes as PCs. It's not for the current edition of the game, though. Rather, it uses the old D&d ruleset[ from the boxed sets to the Rules Cyclopedia]. Still, it has some good ideas you could adapt to the newer version of the game[assuming you are playing 3E].

The link leads to the SRD (System Reference Document) entry where it explains the mechanics of using a werewolf.
Alternatively point it out to your DM in his Monster Manual(same stuff as the SRd, but the MM is the published book form).

That should eliminate some of the leveling problems. That +2 LA seems a little difficult to get around...and the werewolf-turning-CE thing seems a little problematic. Especially in the hands of some DMs. :D
