[NOT A BUG] Shapeshifter Constitution

Hello.

I have a Spaheshifter (Druid Kit) character with 18 STR, 10 DEX, 18 CON.
When I shapeshift in the Werewolf form my STR increase to 19, DEX increase to 16 and CON decrease to 15.

The decreasing Consitution is a bug, since it doesn't make sense that the character grow thinner when he become a big bad Werewolf.

I will put some screenshot as long as I get home this evening.

Thanks in advance.

    I think this is intentional. At least this has always been the case even in BG2. If you put it the way you described, I'd say you are right. Your constitution shouldn't decrease but more like increase in the beast form.

    But if you think about it, the most logical way was to set fix stats for the werewolf form, to best represent "normal" werewolves. If these stats were dynamic and added to your initial constitution, then a low level werewolf would be way to overpowered, especially in BG1.

    Constitution for the werewolf was 15 in BG2. The greater werewolf got 25 though.

    Mmm, that quite sucks...

    Well, ok, it's a full body shapeshift, your answers make sense.

    Thanks, I would ask someone to close this thread.
