[3.5] Help With a Weird NPC

[Thurbane]

So, I've recently become extremely fond of the Human Heritage Feat - in particular, how you count as humanoid, and the options that opens up for you.

I'm tinkering with the idea of a Half-Dragon Half-Ogre (RoD variety), with Lycanthropy (which a Dragon could not normally qualify for).

A Half-Dragon Half-Ogre is a large creature that gets Str +14, Dex -2, Con +4, +8 natural AC, wings, claws and bite, and a 1/day breath weapon (among other things).

I'd like the Lycanthrope (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4398.0) to be reptilian for flavor reasons.

Just wondering what type of Lycanthropy you'd give this guys, and what class levels (if it makes a difference, racial HD specifically count for Initiator Level in my games)?

Not for any real reason, just for the heckuvit.

Cheers - T

Giant crocodile wouldn't be bad.

Can reptilian also be a dinosaur? I dont have my MM on hand but thinking for flavor, taking a note from dino shifters, T-rex or a raptor would be really freakin cool.

[Medic!]

Did a were-fleshraker once, was pretty awesome.

[mabriss lethe]

I'd definitely go with some sort of dinosaur

Flavor-wise, this fits.

[Thurbane]

Agreed, but which one? Should I stick with large size? If so, Deinonychus looks good (or Cryptoclidus for an aquatic flavour).

Medium: hard to go past fleshraker.

Huge: Megaraptor, maybe?

[mabriss lethe]

If it weren't for the size issues, I'd love to see a were-swindlespitter.

Y'know, Battletitans are Huge. 36HD for only +6 CR, you could really earn your evil DM spurs.:smallwink:

Use a Titanic (MM2) Dungeonbred (Du) Fleshraker, which is Huge size and 25 HD (+6 CR on a Lycanthrope).

That gets Str 43, Dex 13, Con 31, +20 natural armor, the Fleshraker poison is increased to 2d6 initial and secondary, it gets Improved Natural Attack for all of its natural weapons along with Endurance, Great Fortitude, all good saves for its animal HD, Rake damage is tripled, a Trample attack, and 25 HD worth of skills and feats including two epic feats (Fast Healing (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm#fastHealing)).

Were Komodo Dragon — which is just a large Monitor.
