Varghoss
My primary character for the 4E DragonMech campaign I am in. My wussy druid werethylacine healer.
Varghoss takes his role as healer very seriously. He understands that its a thankless job, but someone has to keep the suicidal tank and idiotic dps alive when they forget to get out of the fire or stand in the enemy's cleave. But, at least he gets to stand in the back of the party out of immediate harm and do his thing, to say that he is durability impaired is an understatement.
Early on in his 'career', he contracted a strain of lycanthropy while trying to run away in druid animal form. While it was partially cured, the fact that he was shifted at the time left him partially trapped in hybrid form and everything he shifts into has thylacine-ish traits. Though, it was a bit of a boon; it did give him some added strength and a slow regeneration so he at least has better survival odds. He still finds it best to hide behind his thick slabs of armor and keep away from the nastier enemies.
Leucrotta www.furaffinity.net/user/leucrotta really impressed me with his knowledge of armor. Wooden armor just always seems like a staple druid thing and he pops up with the fact that the Tlingit used a cedar armor (including some amazingly ornate helmets like this one) and suggested a taiaha (a Maori weaon, that combines a wooden thrusting spear on one end and a club on the other) instead of a staff.

I was not entirely certain about how well the combination would work but Leucrotta has this way of mixing cultural artifacts in his artwork and it just looks good together.
The armor actually comes from one of the Native tribes of the Pacific Northwest in Canada and Alaska. They used cedar slat armor and had some absolutely amazing decoration on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlingit_people I will admit that when Leucrotta linked me this page http://heatherpringle.com/2010/01/1.....sian-firearms/ for the helmet picture at the bottom, I was sold on the idea. It was yet another case of real armor looking & being far more badass than fantasy armor.
