Werepeacocks are social lycanthropes that are excitable and intelligent, even in bestial form. In humanoid form, a werepeacock has long, brightly coloured hair. Werepeacocks gain the ability to fly in their hybrid and peacock forms, and most prefer to fight in hybrid form, peppering enemies with boomerangs or striking foes that draw too near with their wicked beaks. Werepeacocks live in thick jungles and frequently pass on their curse to other humanoids, as every new werepeacock is a new companion for dance and play. However, some werepeacocks think they are higher than others and strike out alone. Players as WerepeacocksThe character gains a Charisma of 15 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in peacock or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls for the beak are based on whichever is higher of the character's Strength and Dexterity. |
