The Planar Vagabond's Guide to the Multiverse

Weretiger

Humanoid cursed to shapeshift into a semi-intelligent tiger.

• When encountered, 66% (4-in-6) chance of having stealth / surprise.
• Excels at swimming and tracking.
• Usually exhibits feline behavioral traits, like curiosity and aloofness.

Werebeast

• Immune to damage from mundane, non-silver weapons.
• When hit with wolfsbane, must Save vs Poison or flee, as with the Scare spell.
• While not in contact with silver or wolfsbane, heals 1 hp at the end of each combat round in which they take no damage.
• Capable of shifting between (natural) humanoid form, animal form, and a hybrid form.
  • Takes one combat round to shift form, can attack as new form at end of round.
  • Must change into and remain in hybrid or animal form during a full moon.
• Cannot wear armor, as it limits their ability to shapeshift.
• Cannot use beak, bite, claw, or talon attacks when in humanoid form.
• Humanoid form usually retains some characteristics from animal form.
• While in animal form, can only speak with animals of that type (unless otherwise noted).
• Cannot use weapons while in animal form.
• May summon 1d2 animals associated with their animal form from the surrounding area.
  • Animals arrive in 1d4 rounds.
• When killed in animal or hybrid form, reverts to humanoid form.
• Can smell other werebeasts.
• Some animals can smell werebeasts, and are afraid of them.

Infection

When a humanoid loses more than 1/2 of their max hit points from the natural attacks of a werebeast (ex: bite or claw), they must Save vs Poison or become infected with therianthropy.

• The disease takes 2d12 days to fully infect, with signs of infection appearing halfway through.
• Humanoids become the same type of werebeasts (and are typically run by the referee, at least while transformed).
