Hey, I made this race awhile ago, just rediscovered. It's probably going to need a lot of help to make it decent. I made some racial weapons but they were ridiculous, I might post them later.
There are many creatures who can turn themselves into animals; werebeasts, druids, and so on. But amongst shifters, there are people, called therianthropes, who are unique because what shifts, for them is not the body, but the mind.They truly become their spirit animal, thinking, smelling, and feeling as it does. A therianthrope walks a narrow line between man and beast, striving to maintain an equal balance.To lose control, to become nothing but the beast, is something that hunts all therianthropes. Therianthropes Awaken in their adolescence from all the races when they first shift their minds. After this, therianthropes usually live as outcasts. There are three main " species": Bear, Hawk, and Wolf.
CRUNCHTASTIC:+2dex, wis -2 chrs, int. +2 survival, move silently, spot, listen. Lupinthropes are naturally swift and cunning without shifting. Operating with an animals mind tends to make it harder to think in the terms of a civilized being, even after coming back from a shift. Many fear Lupinthropes, not distinguishing between them and werewolves. ( is this balanced for +0 LA? if not, how should I fix it?
Shifting (how many times a day, how should I representing struggling to control?) + 2 wis, - 2 chrs, +4 survival, move silently, +2 hide, - 4 diplomacy, disguise, -2 pick lock, all other Chr checks, + 4 to trip attempts, gain Scent.
Fluff is coming soon. I can has first thoughts, plz? is this workable?
