Me likes them Ryan. Especially how they started off as changelings. Nice touch working that race into your HAG template.

A few quick questions as I dissect their stats...

Is Lorinda a 9th-level witch or a 10th level witch. She appears to have the same Hit Dice as her sisters (6 hit points for 1st-level, plus 9d6, plus miscellaneous bonuses), yet she is listed as 9th-level. I'm probably just missing something.

Also curious about the differing age categories. What's the actual chronological age difference between, or is it more about the varying hagly might of the Three Sisters?..

The PCs in my play by play campaign, on this very forum, are actually in the middle of a meeting with the Mindefisk Sisters. Poor souls.

Thanks! I would feel incomplete if they weren't changelings.

9th level. Her hit points are right; it's just a typo in the breakdown. She's one level less than the others, and a couple of age categories.

Also curious about the differing age categories. What's the actual chronological age difference between, or is it more about the varying hagly might of the Three Sisters?..

In normal circumstances, it would be about how old the hag is; the breakdown is in the hag template. In this particular case, the hags are all the same age but vary in hagly might. It's a hold over from their previous breakdowns. Particularly in Darklords, where Leticia is singled out as the oldest, despite all the hags being found at the same time, so I reflected that in her age category.

As I said before, it's also about differentiating the hags. Lorinda is the youngest and has an inferiority complex/resentment of the others because of it, so she is cursed by being the weakest (except for one brief, glorious moment when she was the only one with spell-like abilities - oh, she was special then! All the others were envious... But now, there's only bitterness at being sent back to the bottom of the heap. How I hate them, always treating me like dirt because I'm the youngest...)

The PCs in my play by play campaign, on this very forum, are actually in the middle of a meeting with the Mindefisk Sisters. Poor souls.

Pity them.

Moonchild
[...]
Bonus Feat (Ex): The moonchild gains a bonus feat from the following list: Ability Focus (curse of lycanthropy), Aspect of the Beast, Eldritch Claws, Improved Iron Will, Improved Natural Weapon, Rending Claws, Vital Strike, Weapon Focus (natural weapons only), or any werebeast feat.

What's a werebeast feat? Also which skill covers monster knowledge for lycanthropes/lycanthropy?

Where's the lightning phobia of wereleopards?

[Ryan Naylor]

They're feats that come in the werebeast chapter. Monster feats, but specific to werebeasts. They're back here somewhere...

For knowledges, there isn't one specifically for shapechangers. Arcana might fit. Local is for humanoids, so that might fit too. Personally, I'd base it on the specific question being asked.

With the streamlining of lycanthropes to a single all-purpose template, wereleopards have lost their fear of lightning as anything other than a roleplaying/cultural thing. Like the super damage reduction of the loup garou and so on, it hasn't survived the edition transition.

[Nemesio]

Hey Ryan. Where did the black blood frenzy hex on Leticia's stats come from?

[Ryan Naylor]

It used to be a spell, but I converted it to a hex.

Go back to the classes; I think it's detailed there. Under witch.

[Nemesio]

Thanks dude.

[Mortavius]

Quick question on your lycanthrope template Ryan,

Under Abilities it says they get +2 Wis (temporary bonus) and -2 Cha. It then says they get +2 Str & Con when in animal of hybrid form. But after that it says their stats in animal or hybrid form are equal to the base animal or the base creature, whichever is higher.

I assumed in my write-up of Raja that the adjustments to stats were applied after the base stat was determined. So for example, a human might have a Str of 12, his animal form has Str 16. He would use the Str 16 as a base value when in hybrid form, and gets a +2 on top of that, for a Str 18; would that be correct?

[Ryan Naylor]

Yes, that's right.

[Zilfer]

Yep quick and easy answer is always use the better of the two stats for lycanthropes or Druid's shape changing. I think Polymorph is the same, and the Summoner Arche-type Synthesis. They all take the better Physical Stat's.

[Nemesio]

I noticed that Leticia has a multiple greater hexes. I realize that she has the Extra Hex Feat, but normally a witch with that feat wouldn't be able to select a greater hex until they received their 11th witch level. I may be mistaken on this. If I'm missing some kind of exploit of the rules, I'd just like to know.

There is a method to my madness here. I like your versions so much that I'm contemplating using your stats in place of my own... Not trying to bug ya.

Also noticed Leticia has a centipede familiar instead of a toad. Was that a personal decision, or am I missing something in the Ravenloft canon?...

[Ryan Naylor]

A hag's age category counts as a witch level for getting access to major hexes, so all three hags get more greater hexes than they otherwise would have. See the hag template again.

I'm no longer sure why a toad became a centipede. I may have got it wrong. I may have done it intentionally. I can't remember. She was hungry and ate the delicious moist-looking toad?
