Hi, all! I have another question. I'm planning to take a Werebear NPC I had included in a campaign, and use him as a PC while another DM takes over a session. Are there any potential problems I should avoid, or modifications I should make to the template as-written? (because why not?)

@CorsairHermes The only thing that I could think of that *might* be a problem only comes up if the party is relatively low level. A CR 5 creature is, generally, worth 4 level 5 adventurers in terms of HP.

But hey, games are supposed to be fun. Odds are, the HP thing won't even really matter all that much, especially for a one off kind of thing.

@Joystick_Hero It is low-level, but also massive - 8 players all-told.

@CorsairHermes Hachi. Yeah, probably won't be much of an issue. On a personal level, I do not envy the task of wrangling all the narrative attached to that many characters. 😅

@Joystick_Hero It’s a bit of a task. Mercifully only about half have deep characterisation.
