They don't seem powerful enough to warrant a +1 CR.
Of course, I could be wrong. The ability to turn into a tiger could be a huge advantage, but not so later on, as a lot of equipment would become useless in tiger form.
Could make interesting barbarians, too. Turn to a tiger, then rage.

My friend and I worked it out. I personally don't think they need a +1 CR.
As for the barbarian idea, never thought of that.

Every race has some kind of edge over the base stats. Look at dwarves: they have combat bonuses against dozens of different monsters. Gnomes have those same bonuses, and inherant spellcasting abilities. Elans, if using a psionic class, can become virtually impossible to hurt, especially if they're a psion, which is their favored class anyway. Humans get an extra feat, and skill points as if their Int were two points higher.
I think you should probably drop the +1 CR.

That's probably a good idea. Thanks for your advice.

Generally speaking, anything with natural weapons gets a level adjustment, because it makes them applicable for monstrous feats and skills, which regular characters do not get.
Also, as just a technicality, Favored Class is the one class a race wouldnt take an XP penalty on (i.e. Monk) anything else would be racial preferences and should go under the descriptions somewhere (like society or personality, etc). I'm just a stickler for copying the class/race layouts as they are in the books sweatdrop . Makes em easier to read in my opinion.
Seems pretty decent however. The tiger form probably doesnt warrany a level adjustment if they keep thier normal stats, and dont get modifiers to it (as would a lycanthrope).

I'm not sure what to do with the tiger form. Say the tiger str of 19 and character str of 16, the tigran in tiger form would gain the extra points in str because of the tiger form. Same for all other abilities because a tiger's int is lower than most humanoids and it helps to be able to know what your doing.
Anyway, I've started playing a tigran druid and it's fun. Still haven't shifted into a tiger yet, but that's cause I haven't figured everything out yet. Any ideas?

I'd say lose the tiger form and the natural weapons, drop the lvl adjust, and give 'em some slightly better pluses to stats or skills.

I could do that. The Tigran was based of a story character that I created who could change parts or all of his body to a tiger and back. He usually fought with his sword, but liked using his claws.
Anyway, I read up on the druid abilities and I want to alter the race so that their ability is like a druids wild shape but they can only turn into tiger and only for half a day.

they seem quite a bit like Rakshasa or weretigers to me. but i think it would make a kick a** ranger. have them dual wield their claw attacks and the sword at the same time. it'd be awesome.

Nice! Reminds me of Rei from Breath of Fire 3. I'd like to make a Tigran paladin.
