A blue jay werepasserine in hybrid form. Source Werepasserines are a very small group of extroverted lycanthropes that radiate with positive energy. They are affable in nature, easily befriending any creature that crosses their path, even those that hunt werecreatures. Because their bubbly, radiant personalities clash with common stereotypes of lycanthropes, they're seen as an anomaly by all that have the scarce opportunity to encounter one. In humanoid form, a werepasserine appears to have noticeably rosy cheeks and an endless amount of energy. They have no negative feelings about sharing their gift with other humanoids that ask, freely passing on their lycanthropy to those who desire it. However, only those of a pure heart are capable of receiving the effects of werepasserine lycanthropy. Werepasserines seek the sky as their sanctuary, since it represents freedom and independence to them. Because of this, they are usually found in mountainous regions, areas of high altitude, and even in the Elemental Plane of Air. When inhabiting the Elemental Plane of Air, werepasserines are seen as a strange species of aarakocra while in their hybrid forms. Characters as Werepasserines The songbird species that the character takes on while in bird form is the same as the werepasserine that gave the character werepasserine lycanthropy. The character also gains a Charisma of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to their AC while in bird or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on Dexterity. The save DC for the Melodic Tune is equal to 8 + the character's proficiency bonus + their Charisma modifier. Characters of a non-good alignment cannot receive werepasserine lycanthropy.
