RE: [dq-rules] Will somebody *please* explain this to me!?

To calculate on your own.

Average Human Stat (except for Perception, I believe) is 15

A wolf has a PS range from 10-12 Therefore take the average 10+12/2 = 11 and subtract the Average Human Stat 11 - 15 = -4

I think the article's chart has some personal changes and PC is based on a base of 5 not 8.

There was a DragonQuest Newsletter that dealt with Shape Changers in that issue, I had an article that give you the numbers for various types of shapechangers.

Basically the idea is you take average an average human characteristic score vs. the average score of the animal you are changing into and figure out how many points that is + or -

Wolf Tiger Bear Boar Stag

PS    -4     +10     +20    +9     +8
MD    +4     +9      -3     +1     +6
AG    +4     +12     -3     +7     +9
MA     -      -       -      -      -
WP    +5     -5      -5     -8     -5
EN    +2     +7      +17    +7     +2
FT    +9     +5      +13    +5     +1
PC    +15   +13      +13    +7     +15
TMR    8      9        6     7      13
NA    3DP    3DP     4DP    4DP    3DP
PB    -8     -8      -7     -7     -3

I think I got them right but you might want to check for yourself.

There was an addendum in one of Ares issues that showed you how to convert FT and EN back and forth as well which I included in the article.

I hope I'm not the only one who has never really been able to figure
this out. And, believe me, I've tried and not by myself, either. Let
me quote the problem...

from [6.9], special ability 5.
"Take the difference between the average for each characteristic in
animal and human form, and modify the human characteristics
appropriately."

Is it just me or does this really not make much sense? Really, all
I'm looking for is an example of how this works... let's just say I'm
from Missouri. ;)

Thanks,
R.
