i let one of my players become a weretiger. This question is gonna come up next session as there headed to Eastmange deep in the icey tundra mountain called Mount Athos. Im gonna suggest they buy winter gear. Would a weretiger need wintergear? some tigers survive in the cold some dont. Thoughts?
i would give them adv. on any saves against cold damage but not complete immunity, since they're still mostly humanoid, and since not all tigers live in cold climate

I didn't think tigers did much in the cold, so I looked it up. There are some in sub-alpine forests, but not really icy tundra type cold.
That said, this is a fantasy game, and they can do whatever you like. I'd say decide what kind of tiger he is, and stick with that, for example, if you say he's OK in the cold, maybe he'd have a problem if you go someplace hot, and vice versa. Personally, I'd go with him being best suited to the environment where he was bit, and otherwise needing to adjust to local conditions. And also saying that when he's a tiger, maybe he's OK, but while still a humanoid, needing to wear weather appropriate gear according to his base race.
Natural tigers did in fact historically range into siberia.
But there is nothing in a weretiger's description that says anything about cold weather. They are specifically stated to naturally live in jungles. I would definitely require them to get cold weather gear.
