This is a concept that amused me mighty, so I stated it up for all you Playgrounders. This NPC in question is non-playable (too many Barbarian exceeds ECL 20), but comes to a CR 18.
There are still a few gaps, as noted below. I just wanted the gist of this concept up in case my HDD finally dies.

Possible character variations in the future would be swapping from were-bear tiger-folk lion barbie to a were-lion tiger-folk bear warrior. (I actually like the second idea, "I'm a liger-man that can turn into a bear. Rawr!")

Animal Devotion added as recommended. Rest of the feats to fill out the theme, "I can bat you around and you don't want to hit me."

Notes: * Still need to select five feats gained from Hit Dice. Any suggestions?


The only feat I can think of to enhance the awesome is Animal Devotion from Complete Champion and activating the 'wings' option. Just imagining the look on the PC's faces when this thing grows giant glowing wings and flies makes me feel happy. :smallsmile:

Shouldn't he have low-light vision and scent?

Otherwise quite amusing.

He does. Check under "senses" at the top of a stat block.

I prefer the layout from MMIV, so... yeah... sorry.

Fewer Barbarian levels, more Bear Warrior levels! Also, a sprinkling of Warshaper would raise the bar by around a factor of 1.5, just for the reach, the stats, the fortification, and the fast healing.

I actually just made note of that. This character was a concept developed in the wee hours of the morning, so far from the greatest thing.

I'm thinking version two will be more along the lines of:
* Were-lion
* Anthropomorphic Tiger
* Bear Warrior

I'll see what amounts of power I can shove in with Warshaper. I'll crunch the numbers, ensure all is within the rules, and get it properly formatted. It might be a night before I get back here, though.

I am unsure if I calculated rake properly. From my understanding rake is just a secondary attack performed only during an "attack" grapple action, thus it is subject to the -5 secondary weapons penalty, right?.

Again, the creature needs treasure (calculating total value at the moment). Gotta look up whether lycans trash their armor they are wearing when they shift or not. Regardless, the creature is pretty close to completion, and I hope someone is making use of this. :smallsmile:
