Description
Wereraccons are humans who can transform themselves into a hybird of a raccon and a man. Then tend to live in wilderness areas, but have been known to inhabit cities as well. Many packs of wereraccons will trade with groups of wererats.
The raccon form hybird, will have a head, torso and tail like a raccon. The rest of the body will resemble a human but will be covered in raccon fur.
Combat
The wereraccon's natural attack forms (claws and bites) are rarely used by them as they see it as savage and beneath them to use such attack forms. However, if extreme pressed the wereraccon is capable of two claw attacks doing 1 point of damage and a bite that inflicts 1d2 points of damage.
Wereraccons will normally wield long swords as their primary weapons. They usually carry daggers which they use as a throwing weapon. Most victims attacked by wereraccons will not become wereraccons themselves since the wereraccon keeps itself well groomed and its items clean. Unless an opponent is attacked by a wereraccon's natural attack forms he risk no chance of becoming a wereraccon. In hybird form, the wereraccon can only be hit by silver and magical weapons.
Wereraccons, like wererats, like to ambush their targets. They have the added advantage of being able to blend into their background. In their hybird form and in wilderness enviroment, the wereraccon is able to hide in its surroundings as if it was wearing a cloak of elvenkind. Wereraccons also can hide in other terrain but at a reduce rate of success (use hide in shadows at 40%).
Habitat
Wereraccons live in packs. They tried to maintain the purity of their race. Wereraccons will actually hunt down unpure wereraccons (those that have become wereraccons from lycanthropy) if they find out about them.
Wereraccons are very clean creatures. All wereraccons clean themselves and their objects daily. The will wash all food before they eat it. For this reason, most wereraccons will often settle near a stream.
Ecology
Wereraccons deal little with any other races. They try to maintain the purity of their race. They dislike races that intermix blood, but this does not mean they will not associate with these other races.
