Homebrew Snow Weretiger Species Details

Originating from the cold ice mountains, this special type of lycanthrope is rare, yet not as rare as it seems, because unlike most other lycans the Snow weretiger remains in contact with their human origins in more senses than one. Not only do they keep their human personality, while in their weretiger form, they also master the ability to change between the three phases of their physical selves.

While many snow weretigers wander far from their ice capped mountains, the nature of these magical snowy mountains never truly leave their blood. Even those not born, but transformed into snow weretigers feel the magic of ice in their veins. 

Snow Weretiger Traits

A mixture of beastiality, humanity and magic come together in the traits of the snow weretiger

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score is increased by 1. 

Age

Due to the magical blood running through their veins snow weretigers have lifespan of up to 150 years. 

Alignment

Snow weretigers tend toward chaotic alignments, as they let impulse and fancy guide their decisions. They are rarely evil, with most of them driven by curiosity, the same reason behind most of them wondering out into the world, when reaching adulthood.

Size

Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

In Hybrid and Animal Form, your walking speed is +10, and your climbing speed is 20 feet.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on.

You cannot speak while in Animal Form.

Darkvision

Accustomed to dark mountains and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Snow weretigers function best without an armor, so while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 12 + your Dexterity modifier.

Shapeshifter

DC for shapeshift: 9. Tiger HP  human HP + level, and as a hybrid your HP increases to Tiger HP + 15. You need more than 10 HP to change shape, and when falling to 5 HP you become human automatically.  

Feline Attacks

In Hybrid and Animal Form, you gain the usage of two natural weapons.

Claws: your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Dex modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. In combat you may use a bonus action to make a second claw attack. 

Bite: your teeth count as natural weapons as well, and can make melee weapon attacks. On a hit, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d10 + your Dex modifier. Also if the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with weretiger lycanthropy.

The magical icy beats blood within you, grants you access to the cantrip Frostbite. When you reach level 3rd you also learn the cantrip Ray of Frost, and at 5th level you learn the spell Ice Knife (at 7th level you unlock the ability to cast it at level 2 and higher, according to your spell casting class table). Wisdom is your spell casting ability for these spells.
