PC levels for Children of the Night: Werebeasts?

Post by Chess Lane »

Unless I'm somehow missing it, no character levels were listed in the adventures within this supplement? The back cover says "for all character levels" but surely a new group can't take these creatures?

Yeah, I don't see anything either. Other entries in the CoTN series had it in the first sentence of each adventure, after the NPC description of the "Child" involved. "This adventure is for levels ____ ..." Looks like that was left out of the Werebeasts one. You either have to make your best guess which you can use or scale the creatures to the party level.

In addition to the level issue, there is also the complication that many of the villains in that book require silver or other special weapons to hit, which may be an issue for starting characters depending on the set up.

Aye, I noticed that as well. It's so strange do you think they forgot to add the levels on purpose or was the company trying something new by attempting to give DM's more freedom in a way?
