Lythari

The reclusive lythari, known among the wood elves as silver shadows, are true lycanthropes: good-aligned wild elves able to take lupine form. In wolf form, lythari are beautiful, with pale gray or silver fur and intelligent blue or brown eyes. A wolf-lythari leaves no impression of danger or ferocity, but rather seems friendly and companionable. An adult is the size of a small pony and might carry a man-sized ally if the need is great. In the rare times they assume elf form, the lythari are beautiful and otherworldly, even for elves. They dress in furs, hides, and other natural garb, decorating themselves with feathers, bone jewelry, and similar objects in a fashion more ancient than the oldest wood elf tribes. Tall and pale skinned, they have light blue or green eyes and silver hair.

Alternate Form: At 1st level, the lythari can take the form of a wolf and changing forms is a standard action that can be attempted once per round.

Favored Class: Ranger. A multiclass lythari's ranger class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. Lythari also have access to the Silver Shadow prestige class, the only race that can do so (it is an extension of their heritage).

Level Adjustment +1: Lythari are slightly more powerful and gain levels more slowly than other races. It will take more experience for a Lythari to reach level 2 than it would for normal races, for example.
