This will add several tables containing NPC attributes to your rollable tables and decks section.

Next, go to the setting tab in the journal area, and make a macro, titles NPC-Generator, paste the following into the Macro text:

/w GM Characteristic [[1t[NPC-Characteristics]]]
/w GM Appearance [[1t[NPC-Appearance]]]
/w GM Ideal [[1t[NPC-Ideals]]]
/w GM Bond [[1t[NPC-Bonds]]]
/w GM Flaw [[1t[NPC-Flaws]]]
/w GM Mannerisms [[1t[NPC-Mannerism]]]
/w GM Talent [[1t[NPC-Talent]]]
/w GM Interaction [[1t[NPC-Interaction]]]
/w GM Race [[1t[NPC-Race]]]
/w GM Sex [[1t[NPC-Sex]]]
/w GM High Ability [[1t[NPC-HighAbility]]]

/w GM Low Ability [[1t[NPC-LowAbility]]]

Make sure that enable macro bar is checked, and now, any time you click on the button in the Macro bar, it will generate a random NPC that you can use as much or as little of the info as you want. Typically, one off NPC's require only one or 2, but if you copy it all into the GM info, if that character happens to become more important as the game goes on, you already have an established set of data to use for it.

Lycanthropy Part 2: A work in Progress

After discussion, and largely positive feedback, I have finished version 2 of the Druid Circle of the Beast lycanthropic archetype. Although I wanted to avoid over complicated tables, and trust my players to RP, from a min-max perspective there was really no reason to play anything other than a Werebear.

With that in mind, I balanced the various forms out, giving each a total of 13 points to be spread out differently among st the forms for increases to STR, DEX, and CON. On top of that, I gave each form a normalized base HP, that can now slowly level over time with the player.

Feedback is appreciated, as always!

Circle of the Beast

Lycanthropy is one of the most feared curses known to exist, causing even the wisest and kindest to become nothing more than a vicious beast. It is with this danger in mind that some druids willfully infect themselves with this curse, so as to better combat it. Being able to move, and think, like their quarry has made them a necessary, if shunned and little known, sect of Druidic studies. Using their magical connection with nature to suppress aspects of the curse, members of the Circle of the Fang are often loners, never truly accepted by civilized lands, and fearful of what might happen if they themselves lose control.

Hybrid Form

By using choosing this circle at second level, you gain the ability to transform into the were creature associated with your particular choice, as well as its animal form. While some of the effects are not as powerful as a traditionally cursed Lycanthrope, you gain certain abilities, such as proficiency in its natural unarmed attacks, and as listed below. Because of the concentration required to maintain this form and stave off the curse, you may only Wildshape into the hybrid or animal form of your particular type of lycanthropy. If there are multiple choices of animals, such as bears, only one can be chosen for this Circle. Your hybrid and animal forms share statistics, which are detailed in the table below.

Circle Werebear. HP: 27, Strength of 17, a Dexterity of 10,

a Constitution of 16, and a + 1 bonus to AC while in bear

or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls

(Perception) checks that rely on smell.

the werebear makes two claw attacks. In hybrid form,

The werebear may make 2 vlaw attacks or 1 claw and

at least 15 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with

its tusks on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6)

slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on

a DC 8 + the character’s proficiency bonus + the character’s

is prone, the weretiger can make one bite attack against it as a

bonus action.

animal form, the weretiger can make 1 bite and 1 claw

attack. In hybrid form, it may make 1 claw or bite and 1

weapon attack.

Curse Suppression and Side Effects

Because of the Druidic magic involved with keeping the curse under control for the Druid, not all of the Lycanthrope’s abilities manifest themselves. You do not receive the Damage Immunities associated with your form, and you are also unable to pass your curse to others, outside of a willing participant in certain Druidic Rituals. Because you are actively working against the curse to find a balance, when you return to humanoid form after having been in Hybrid or animal form, you gain 1 point of exhaustion (as described in appendix A of the PHB).

Primal Body

Starting at 6^th level, when you transform into Hybrid or animal form, you gain half of your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to your primary attribute in that form, and as 1d8+ your forms’ Constitution modifier to maximum hit points while Wildshaped. Your natural unarmed attacks in hybrid and animal form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Supernatural Resistance

Starting at 10^th level, you may tap into your curse’s power to augment your defenses. As a bonus action, you may gain resistance to all piercing, bludgeoning, and slashing damage from non-magical or non-silvered weapons until the end of your next turn. At level 14, you can tap into this resistance even father, gaining immunity from all piercing, bludgeoning, and slashing damage from non-magical or non-silvered weapons until the end your next turn when you take this bonus action.

Mastery of the Form

Starting at 14^th level, you have totally mastered your curse. You gain 1 extra attack while in Hybrid form, and no longer gain a level of exhaustion when reverting to your humanoid form.
