While in shark form, the wereshark can only breathe while underwater. The wereshark can breathe air and water while in human or hybrid form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. The wereshark can use its action to polymorph into a Large shark-humanoid hybrid or into a Large shark, or back into its true form, which is humanoid.

Any thoughts would be helpful at this point.5e SRD > Creatures > Lycanthrope, Wereshark Another possibility I had was her being a bounty hunter, putting her fighting skills from being a sea elf warrior and her instincts to hunt as a wereshark to good use. One possibility I thought of was her earning money in underground fighting rings under taverns for the entertainment of gambling spectators as a way to vent her violent tendencies and rage out before she quits that and joins an adventuring party. I want her to be able to join a party, elves live for a long time, and maybe she has learned to control her lycanthropy as much as one can over a century or so and started a new life for herself on land. I think if this sea elf character were a warrior and fighter who had killed sharks and shauaquin and had been raised to hate them, discovering and having to hide her identity as a wereshark as a good character development. I thought this could be a background for my character and why they would choose to be an adventurer. I imagine if they found a wereshark in their mists, they'd turn on them, and I'm thinking my character was chased out and exiled as a result. The latter was what I was thinking as an explanation of a sea elf being a wereshark.īut sea elves despise sharks, malenti, and shauaquin, killing them on sight.

One where humanoids were cursed with lycanthropy by the goddess Umberlee in the Times of Troubles, and the other being a doomed settlement of sea elves getting turned into weresharks by a council of malenti, and those descended from those sea elves are natural lycanthropes. I read that weresharks have two possible origins. I thought a barbarian or fighter sea elf would be interesting. I'm an newer player and creating a new pc and want to make this character a wereshark, but having trouble coming up with a background and class and wanted to ask more experienced players for their opinions.
