looking for 3.0 or 3.5 wereraven

looking for 3.0 or 3.5 wereraven. ive been looking for days cant find it. has anyone ever found one maybe other d20 games?

[Buufreak]

If memory serves, check ravenloft materials. If that doesn't work, I think I stat'd it in one of my homebrew innistrad bits. The biggest thing was using dire raven (also I believe from ravenloft) as the base animal then applying appropriate amounts of lycanthropy.

i found this for pathfinder, which just might work with a few minor adjustments

The 3.5 Ravenloft book Denizens of Dread includes a wereraven.

[Inevitability]

Start with Frostburn's Giant Raven, apply Half-Troll from the fiend-folio to give it the giant type, then add ape lycanthropy to give it a mostly humanoid alternate form.

...what do you mean that wasn't what you were looking for?

[Chronos]

The lycanthropy template from the Monster Manual can be used with any small, medium, or large carnivorous or omnivorous animal (with a few fluff gaps to fill in like alignment). So all you really need to book-dive for is a raven of suitable size.

Unless the goal is something that can turn into a normal-sized raven. If that's the case, then I'd just reskin Hengeyoki.

It's

This animal can be any predator, scavenger, or omnivore whose size is within one size category of the base creature’s size (Small, Medium, or Large for a Medium base creature).
So you just need the base creature to be Small.

I found this thread while searching for the same thing ... I am looking at a wereraven, and was going with a tallfellow halfling because of the "within one size category" rule as brought up in this post.

It's interesting, because I found this at the end of the Lycanthrope entry in the Monster Manual under "Curse of Lycanthropy" - "Any humanoid or giant hit by a natural lycanthrope’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy. If the victim’s size is not within one size category of the lycanthrope (for example, a hill giant bitten by a wererat), the victim cannot contract lycanthropy from that lycanthrope. Afflicted lycanthropes cannot pass on the curse of lycanthropy."

Does that mean a small-sized wereraven could pass it along to a medium sized human? If so, what would happen? Would the animal size increase for that form?

[Tzardok]

They obviously mean "within one size category of the base animal", just like with the normal requirements of the template. The example supports this: a wererat can't infect a hill giant, because hill giants are large and dire rats are small. The fact that a human wererat would be medium in its hybrid shape doesn't play a role.

[schreier]

I wouldn't say it's obvious, but I would say it's reasonable. There are a lot of stupid rules. There are a lot of cases where examples/sample monsters don't follow the rules

[ShurikVch]

FWIW, there are also Dire Raven (1 HD Small Animal; Ravenloft Gazetteer: Volume I), Storm Crow (4 HD Medium Animal; Manual of Monsters), and Legendary Raven (12 HD Small Animal; Deities and Demigods)
