Ahroun Werewolf



Replace the following:

Wolf Form with Dire Wolf Form

Warform with Scourge Form

Sacred Hunt with Stalking the Sun and Moon

Spirit Walk with Unstoppable Juggernaut Incarnation

Dire Wolf Form: Obviously, in dire wolf form the character cannot speak, manipulate all but the simplest objects, or do other things humans take for granted. However, they gain +1k1 to all perception checks involving scent, Daemonic, Strength +1, Constitution +1, Intelligence -2, and a Bite weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling) with Penetration equal to her Feral Heart.

Scourge Form: A horror, an Ahroun in scourge form is a massively destructive force. An Ahroun in Scourge Form may only make attack actions or move towards an opponent. An Ahroun must spend 1 Rage to enter scourge form and may only maintain Scourge Form for a number of rounds equal to her Constitution + Feral Heart. While in scourge form, the Ahroun gains Daemonic, Stuff of Nightmares, Strength +2, Size +2, Constitution +2, Intelligence -2, a Claw natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling) and a Bite natural weapon (2k1 R; Melee; Brawling). An Ahroun's bite and claws in scourge form count as magical weapons, and gain Penetration equal to her Feral Heart. An Ahroun must remove any armor before changing shape or else the straps break, dealing damage to the Ahroun equal to the armor's AP and rendering the armor useless until repaired.

Stalking the Sun and Moon: Given a token belonging to their prey, an Ahroun can spend an hour studying the item with a Perception (scent) test against the Static Defense of the target. If successful, the Ahroun benefits from the Arcane Mark feat against that target. This power can keep track of a number of targets up to the Ahroun's Feral Heart at a time.

Unstoppable Juggernaut Incarnation: In Scourge Form, an Ahroun may spend 1 Rage to negate 1 point of critical damage they receive.

Ahroun Howlpack Assets

Krallenhorde
The Krallenhorde is the largest known pack of werewolves, the howlpack that most Ahroun eventually assume. Gain one rank of the Erymanthian Boar sword school. You can advance this school as if it appeared in any class progression you possess. You can spend a Rage to add +1k0 to damage rolls with your natural weapons. If you don't already have an exaltation asset, this one can be purchased after character creation.

Leeraug
Even those chosen personally by Luna can have a murderous streak, and the Leeraug are those Ahroun who stray toward the Black Spiral. Gain a static bonus to damage rolls against Helpless targets and children (or Gnomes and any smaller humanoids) equal to your Feral Heart + 2. When you kill such targets, you can spend 1 Rage to cause the corpse to affect other people as if it had Fear (1) for a number of days equal to your Feral Heart, or spend 3 Rage for it to have Fear (2) instead.

Mondronen
The Mondronen are Luna's answer to apostate sorcerers, fierce mage-hunters with a powerful instinct to track down and murder the witch. Begin play with the feats Arcane Sight and Unseen Sense (Psykers). Your Lycan Resilience grants an equal amount of Aura.

Silverfur
Sometimes virtue manages to pierce even the thickest wolf's skull, and the result is an Ahroun that shines with Luna's radiance. Your natural weapons and unarmed strikes are silver and gain the Sanctified (Luna) special quality. While in Dire Wolf Form or Scourge Form, you project a soft light like that of the moon; once per session when entering either form, you can spend 1 Rage to allow everyone your light falls on to treat your transformation as the rising of a moon.

Replace the following:

Wolf Form with Spider Form

Warform with Fearweaver Form

Lycan Resilience with Arachnid Resilience

Fast Healing with Extreme Toxicity

Sacred Hunt with Steel Webbing

Tell: Skin segments along the joints, limbs and digits lengthen unnaturally. Tattoos glow with a faint white light.

Spider Form: Obviously, in spider form the character cannot speak, manipulate all but the simplest objects, or do other things most humans take for granted. However, rather than becoming one spider, they become many; the character breaks up into a number of spiders equal to his current Hit Points, which are treated as minions with a Threat Rating equal to the character's Feral Heart and a Damage Rating equal to their Threat Rating - 1. For each spider destroyed, the character loses 1 Hit Point.

Fearweaver Form: Alien, terrifying, and just plain wrong, an Ananasi in fearweaver form is nothing less than irrational terror incarnate. An Ananasi in Fearweaver Form may only make attack actions, move toward an opponent, or make Stealth tests in order to stalk an unaware target. An Ananasi must spend 1 Rage to enter fearweaver form and may only maintain Fearweaver Form for a number of rounds equal to his Composure + Feral Heart. While in fearweaver form, the Ananasi gains Stuff of Nightmares, Crawler, Dexterity +2, Size +2, gains a Bite natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling, Toxic), and gains Fear with a rating equal to half his Feral Heart (rounded up). An Ananasi's bite in fearweaver form count as magical weapons. An Ananasi must remove any armor before changing shape or else the straps break, dealing damage to the Ananasi equal to the armor's AP and rendering the armor useless until repaired.

Arachnid Resilience: An Ananasi gains Armor Plating with a rating equal to twice their Feral Heart while in Fearweaver Form, and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, silver, or magical source. If an Ananasi suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious until they regenerate all critical damage.

Extreme Toxicity: The TN to resist the Toxic special quality of your natural weapons is 10 + 5 times your Feral Heart. In addition, you can spend 1 Rage or 1 Hit Point to coat a weapon with your venom as a Ready action, giving that weapon the Toxic special quality for a number of hits equal to your Feral Heart.

Steel Webbing: By spending 1 Rage, the character is able to create a mass of webbing sufficient to block a medium-sized entrance completely, create a sticky net to cover a small room, or immobilize an enemy of a Size up to 3 times their Feral Heart. It can also be used to create most items, though this requires a suitable Crafts test and more work besides shaping the threads to be functional (such as, say, sharpening). You also gain a natural Web Pistol that has the Biotic quality; the TN to resist its Snare quality is 10 + 5 times your Feral Heart, and the TN to escape is 5 times your Feral Heart.

Ananasi Assets

Harvester
The long-legged harvesters tower over mortal, exalt, and shrubbery alike, easily picking their way through just about every situation. Gain Heightened Senses (Sight) and a free raise on Perception tests. While in Fearweaver Form, your long legs allow you to completely ignore penalties for difficult or arduous terrain.

Redback
Redbacks are the most lethal of assassins. The damage dealt by your poison (whether through your Bite or a weapon laced with it by Extreme Toxicity) is equal to 1 + half your Feral Heart (rounded up).

Scorpion
Scorpions have much greater natural weapons. Instead of a Bite, they have a Sting, which uses the same profile, but gains Reach and +0k1 damage. Gain one free rank of the Foxhound Protocol sword school. You can advance this sword school as if it appeared in any class progression you possess.

Tarantula
It's a well-known fact that the bigger a spider is, the more irrationally terrified people are of it. Tarantulas are the biggest among Ananasi, which are already huge spiders. When Shifting, instead of becoming a swarm of spiders you can become a single, enormous one, gaining Crawler, +2 Dexterity, -1 Size, Fear (1), and a Bite natural weapon (0k1 R; Melee; Brawling, Toxic). Increase your Fear rating in Fearweaver Form by 1.

However, they gain +1k1 to Perception tests involving sight, +2 to Wisdom, +1 to Size, a Claw natural weapon (2k1 R; Melee; Brawling), and a Horn natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling).

Hakutaku Form: Eerie and unsettling, a Bai Ze in hakutaku form is a locus of psychic force.

A Bai Ze may spend Rage to recover Hit Points in combat as a free action.

Who Knows Ten Thousand Things: A Bai Ze begins play with two additional languages and a number of Lore or Intelligence specialties equal to 2 + her Intelligence + Feral Heart, and gains an additional such specialty each time she gains a dot of Feral Heart.

Spirit Wiki: By performing a ritual that lasts six hours (on average - more elusive information would take longer to track down), a Bai Ze may cast her awareness far across the Umbra in search of information regarding a specific subject, item, or individual. Once the Bai Ze begins this search, she cannot rest or pursue any other goal until it is complete. When she has completed the search, she knows all there is to know about the subject, gaining a free specialty in Lore (and if the subject was an individual, Scrutiny) tests regarding it.

A Camazotz in Megachiropteran Form may only make attack actions, move toward an opponent, or make Stealth tests in order to stalk an unaware target. A Camazotz must spend 1 Rage to enter megachiropteran form and may only maintain Megachiropteran Form for a number of rounds equal to his Composure + Feral Heart. While in Megachiropteran Form, the Camazotz gains Stuff of Nightmares, Dark Sight, Flyer, +2 Dexterity, +1 Size, a Claw natural weapon (0k1 R; Melee; Brawling) that can't be used while flying, and a Bite natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling). A Camazotz's bite and claws in megachiropteran form count as magical weapons, and the Camazotz needs both arms free in order to fly. A Camazotz must remove any armor before changing shape or else the straps break, dealing damage to the Camazotz equal to the armor's AP and rendering the armor useless until repaired.

Vesper Agility: A Camazotz adds their Feral Heart to their Static Defense and twice that to Dodge tests while in Bat form or Megachiropteran Form, and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, or magical source. If a Camazotz suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious until they regenerate all critical damage.

Fire Bane: A Camazotz halves their size when calculating Hit Points lost from E damage.

Fast Healing: As the Werewolf power, except that the Camazotz can heal damage caused by silver.

Songs in the Blood: By drinking the blood of a living or recently deceased (in the same scene) person, you can cast the spell Hindsight using Feral Heart + Wisdom in place of the normal magic test, but only with regard to the memories and experiences of that person's past month. If the target is alive and aware of what you can do with their blood, they can attempt to twist the information you would receive with a successful Arcana + Fellowship test.

Camazotz Clan Assets

Cursed Cackler
Camazotz of the Curse Cackle clan are cursed, the descendants of those who thought they could best a daemon in a battle of exact words. Begin play with 10 points of Corruption and a free rank of Daemonology magic power. You can purchase ranks in Daemonology as if it was part of any class you belong to, and you are not removed from play at 100 Corruption, though you continue to risk mutations and degeneration as normal.

Night Rogue
Camazotz who bear the stigma of Night Rogue are clanless iconoclasts, those who would seek to dissect and catalog Luna's blessing. You gain +0kX on Academic Lore and Medicae tests, where X is your Feral Heart, and a free specialty (Werebeasts) in each. Additionally, you can always purchase ranks in these skills as if they appeared in your class progression.

Song Whisperer
Camazotz of the Song Whisperer Clan are blessed with the best hearing of all. Gain Heightened Senses (Hearing), and you take no penalties for missing eyes or being blind as long as you aren't Deafened. In fact, as long as you aren't Deafened, you may as well have perfect eyesight... well, "perfect" for someone who can't see colors, anyway. Your hearing alone can determine location, temperature, heart rate, altitude, gradation, the presence of electronics, and more. However, you take -1k2 on tests to resist sound-based effects.

Wind Runner
Camazotz of the Wind Runner Clan are the best flyers, practically born on the wing. They're masters of a trick that lets them fly even more. When Shifting into Bat Form, instead of becoming one decently-sized bat, you become an enormous swarm of tiny ones, becoming a number of microbats equal to your current Hit Points, which are treated as minions with a Threat Rating equal to your Feral Heart and a Damage Rating equal to their Threat Rating - 1. They have the Flyer trait. For each bat destroyed, you lose 1 Hit Point.

Revised Werewolf version

Replace the following:
Wolf Form with Eleph Form
Warform with Oliphaunt
Lycan Resilience with Loxodonta Resilience
Spirit Tongue with Scorpion Grass
Silver Bane with Big Game

Shifting - The most obvious power of the Airavata is the ability to change shape. As a full action, the Airavata may change into one of two forms or back again - a normal-sized elephant and a massive half-elephant half-man warform. Shifting melds the Airavata's armor into its form and negates any effects it gives.

Eleph Form - In Elephant form the character cannot speak, or do other things most humanoids take for granted. However, they gain a trunk allowing them to manipulate simple items, the quadruped trait, +1 to Strength, +3 to Size, and a Tusk weapon (1k1 R; Melee).

Oliphaunt - An Airavata in Oliphaunt form may only make attack actions, knock down, or move towards an opponent. Airavata must spend 1 Rage to enter Oliphaunt form and may only maintain Oliphaunt form for a number of rounds equal to their Constitution + Feral Heart. While in Oliphaunt form, the Airavata gains quadruped, Stuff Of Nightmares, Strength +2, Size +3, Constitution +1, gains a trunk, a Tusk natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee) and a Trample natural weapon (2k1 I; Melee; Brawling). An Airavata’s tusks and trample in Oliphaunt form count as magical weapons.

Lycan Resilience - An Airavata gains Armor Points equal to their Constitution + Feral Heart in Elephant Form and Oliphant Form and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, Lead, or magical source. If an Airavata suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious and assume their base form until they regenerate all critical damage. An Airavata may spend Rage to recover Hit Points in combat as a free action.

Scorpion Grass - An Airavata begins play with the Eidetic Memory feat.

Big Game - An Airavata halves their size when calculating Hit Points lost from damage from lead weapons

* Fast Healing - The Airavata heals 1 Hit Point per round while Shifted as long as that wound was not caused by E, X, Lead, or magic. Critical damage is healed more slowly, recovering only one point per hour.

** Spirit Walk - By making a FH + Wisdom check (Typically against TN 20, though this varies depending on the area), the Airavata may attempt to enter the Umbra through a reflective surface. Anyone holding their hand may come along. The Umbra is a dangerous place, a rough parallel to the real world but infested with spirits and daemons.

*** Quick Shift - The Airavata may shift as a half action.

**** Sacred Hunt - By performing six hour ritual (FH + Wisdom against TN 20, reduce time by 1 hour per raise, to a limit of 1), an Airavata may hunt and kill a single, particular animal. You can only hunt animals that can naturally be found in a given area. Once they have completed the hunt and tasted the heart's blood of their prey, they may assume the form of that animal (including any scars and distinguishing marks) by spending one Rage and then Shifting. In an animal's form, you have access to all of their natural abilities (profile).

*****Unstoppable Juggernaut Incarnation: In Oliphant Form, an Airavata may spend 1 Rage to ignore the damage of an attack that would cause a killing blow.

Chimaera (Weremutant)



Replace the following:

Wolf Form with Aberrant Form

Warform with Chaos Form

Silver Bane with Malfestation

Sacred Hunt with Profane Hunt (cosmetic)

Spirit Walk with Wound-Mastering Body Evolution

Tell: Joints twist, bones contort, flesh runs like six-month-old cheese. Chimaera tattoos are just as formless as their bodies, and glow in colours that can't quite be described.

Aberrant Form: In aberrant form the character is capable of manipulating objects and can do most things that humans take for granted, but cannot communicate intelligibly. They also gain a +1k1 bonus on Arcana tests involving magic, -1 to Wisdom, and 2 dots to divide as they choose between their Physical Characteristics.

Chaos Form: A Chimaera in chaos form is a font of corruption and horror. A Chimaera in Chaos Form may only make attack actions or move toward an opponent. A Chimaera must spend 1 Rage to enter chaos form and may only maintain Chaos Form for a number of rounds equal to her Willpower + Feral Heart. While in chaos form, the Chimaera gains the Hellspawn mutation, 9 points to divide as she chooses between her Size and Physical Characteristics (min 1, max 3 in each), gains a Tentacle Rake natural weapon (2k1 R; Melee; Brawling, Reach), and her Wisdom becomes 1. A Chimaera's natural weapons in chaos form count as magical weapons. A Chimaera must remove any armor before changing shape or else the straps break, dealing damage to the Chimaera equal to the armor's AP and rendering the armor useless until repaired.

Pseudonatural Resilience: A Chimaera gains Armor or Aura equal to their Feral Heart in Aberrant Form or Chaos Form, chosen each time they enter one of those forms, and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, golden, or magical source. If a Chimaera suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious until they regenerate all critical damage. A Chimaera may spend Rage to recover hit points in combat as a free action. Armor or Aura gained from Pseudonatural Resilience does not stack with worn sources, but does stack Armor or Aura granted by mutations.

Malfestation: Somewhere, Tzeentch is laughing at you. Begin play with the Flesh Change feat and 15 points of Corruption, and gain 5 more whenever you buy a dot of Feral Heart. Your mutations have no effect, nor do they or any degenerations change your appearance while in your base form, but you must spend a Rage to shift into your base form from Aberrant or Chaos form. If you ever run out of Rage, you must assume Aberrant Form until it replenishes.

Fast Healing: As the Werewolf power, except it only functions in Chaos Form and is overcome by gold instead of silver.

Quick Shift: As the Werewolf power. A Chimaera also gains the feat Incorrigible, if she doesn't have it already.

Wound-Mastering Body Evolution: In Chaos Form, a Chimaera may spend 1 Rage to increase her Armor and Aura by her current number of wounds for the rest of the scene. Using this power multiple times does not stack, but instead updates the value.

Chimaera Taint Assets

Controlled Chaos
It takes a sick and twisted sort of mind to think one can impress their will upon true chaos, and an even more perverse will to actually do it. Gain the Controlled Corruption and Flowing Flesh feats. You can spend 2 Rage instead of a Hero Point to reroll a Mutation using Flowing Flesh.

Formless Predator
Your flesh is malleable even by the standards of Chimaerae, flowing like Warp-tainted water and just as corrupting to those who would taste it. Gain one rank of the Twisting Flesh sword school, and you can advance this sword school as if it appeared in any class progression you possess. You can spend 1 Rage to shift into any of your forms as a free action.

Corruption from Madness
Insanity can be a corruption all its own, and one that destroys the mind yet more thoroughly. Begin play with 10 Insanity. Your Wisdom is no longer changed to 1 in Chaos Form.

Wyld Beast
Some beasts leave their homes behind when they go to masquerade upon the hapless Wheel; you brought yours with you, and inflict it upon everyone you meet. While you are in Aberrant Form or Chaos Form, you subject everything within a number of meters equal to your Feral Heart to your corrupting colour. Inanimate objects simply warp and lose color in your presence, while animate beings take a check on saving throws and need to make a Willpower test (TN 10 + 5 times your Feral Heart) each round or gain Corruption equal to your Feral Heart.

Replace the following:

Warform with Lunatic Mode

Lycan Resilience with Lapine Agility

Silver Bane with Moon Tribe's Curse

Fast Healing with Left Turn

Tell: Develops patches of fur and rabbit-like ears, and may tend to bounce on the toes instead of walking properly. Tattoos glow brightly with azure light.

Rabbit Form: Obviously, in rabbit form the character cannot speak, manipulate any objects, or do other things most humans take for granted. However, they gain +1k1 to all Perception tests involving hearing, +4 Speed, a free raise on Acrobatics tests to jump, a Bite weapon (0k0 R; Melee; Brawling), and their Size becomes 1.

Lunatic Mode: A horror, a Pooka in lunatic mode is a massively destructive force. A Pooka in Lunatic Mode may only make attack actions or move toward an opponent. A Pooka must spend 1 Rage to enter lunatic mode and may only maintain Lunatic Mode for a number of rounds equal to her Willpower + Feral Heart. While in lunatic mode, the Pooka gains Stuff of Nightmares, Strength +2, Speed +4 while wearing light or no armor, Dexterity +2, gains a Bite natural weapon (0k0 R; Melee; Brawling), and a Kick natural weapon (3k1 I; Melee; Brawling), and whenever they make an Acrobatics test to jump, each raise they get counts as two raises. A Pooka's Bite and Kick in lunatic mode count as magical weapons.

Lapine Agility: A Pooka adds their Feral Heart to their Static Defense and twice that to Dodge tests while in Rabbit form or Lunatic Mode, and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, silver, or magical source. If a Pooka suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious until they regenerate all critical damage. A Pooka may spend Rage to recover hit points in combat as a free action.

Moon Tribe's Curse: The Pooka curse is said to be born of the moon tribe's ire, and so their shifting has suffered. A Pooka must spend a Rage to shift into their base form from rabbit or lunatic mode. If the Pooka ever runs out of Rage, they must assume rabbit form until it replenishes.

Left Turn: While in Rabbit form or Lunatic Mode, whenever you dodge an attack, you can move a number of meters equal to your Feral Heart in any direction as if you have the Evasion feat. If you already have that feat, add your Feral Heart in meters to the distance you can travel when using it.

Pooka Assets

Big Thumper
Warp influence on Cadia tends to interact with the moon tribe's curse in a "fun" way. You don't have a rabbit form. Instead, you can shift into a kangaroo form, which gains +1k1 to all Acrobatics tests involving jumping, +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, a free raise on Acrobatics tests to jump, and a Kick weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling), and cannot speak or manipulate any but the simplest objects. Your exalt powers and abilities that refer to Rabbit Form instead refer to this form. Additionally, your Kick in Lunatic Mode gains +0k1 damage and deals R damage.

Lapin Angelique
A wounded rabbit is just as vicious as one in perfect health, if not more so. When your current Hit Points are equal to or less than the average of your Willpower + Constitution (round down, to a minimum of 1), you gain a static bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, Dodge and Parry attempts, and saving throws equal to your Feral Heart, or twice that in Lunatic Mode. In addition, treat Lunatic Mode as if it were the Frenzy feat for the purpose of class prerequisites or interactions with other game mechanics, and treat Frenzy as an optional feat if it appears in your class progression.

March Hare
They say that in the spring, the rabbits lose their minds. It's always spring for you. Begin play with a major derangement. You are not removed from play at 100 Insanity, though you continue to gain derangements as normal. Add your Feral Heart as a static bonus on Fear tests and on tests to resist Mental Trauma, and subtract it from the results of your rolls on the Shock table (minimum 1).

Ticking White
No time to say "hello," basher, you're late, late, LATE! Gain one rank of the Chronomancy magical power. You can purchase this power as if it was part of any class you belong to. Get +1k1 on Focus Power tests to cast Chronomancy spells.

Pooka Assets

Big Thumper
Warp influence on Cadia tends to interact with the moon tribe's curse in a "fun" way. You don't have a rabbit form. Instead, you can shift into a kangaroo form, which gains +1k1 to all Acrobatics tests involving jumping, +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, a free raise on Acrobatics tests to jump, and a Kick weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling), and cannot speak or manipulate any but the simplest objects. Your exalt powers and abilities that refer to Rabbit Form instead refer to this form. Additionally, your Kick in Lunatic Mode gains +0k1 damage and deals R damage.

Lapin Angelique
A wounded rabbit is just as vicious as one in perfect health, if not more so. When your current Hit Points are equal to or less than the average of your Willpower + Constitution (round down, to a minimum of 1), you gain a static bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, Dodge and Parry attempts, and saving throws equal to your Feral Heart, or twice that in Lunatic Mode. In addition, treat Lunatic Mode as if it were the Frenzy feat for the purpose of class prerequisites or interactions with other game mechanics, and treat Frenzy as an optional feat if it appears in your class progression.

March Hare
They say that in the spring, the rabbits lose their minds. It's always spring for you. Begin play with a major derangement. You are not removed from play at 100 Insanity, though you continue to gain derangements as normal. Add your Feral Heart as a static bonus on Fear tests and on tests to resist Mental Trauma, and subtract it from the results of your rolls on the Shock table (minimum 1).

Ticking White
No time to say "hello," basher, you're late, late, LATE! Gain one rank of the Chronomancy magical power. You can purchase this power as if it was part of any class you belong to. Get +1k0 on Focus Power tests to cast Chronomancy spells.

While in gibbon form or kong form, you can spend 1 Rage to produce an ultra-cold mist that freezes on contact, granting your next attack the Snare quality.

Your attacks against allies, children (or Gnomes and any smaller humanoids), and anyone suffering from a Shock table effect deal +1k1 damage.

A Corax may spend Rage to recover Hit Points in combat as a free action.

*** Quick Shift - The corax may shift as a half action.

**** Eagle Eye: You may cast Arcane Eye and Foresee, using Feral Heart + Wisdom to cast.

Ursine Resilience - A gurahl gains Armor Points equal to their Constitution +  Feral Heart in bear form and breaker form and may not be killed by critical damage unless that damage comes from an E, X, silver, or magical source. If a gurahl suffers enough damage from another source that it would normally kill them, they are instead knocked unconscious until they regenerate all critical damage. A gurahl may spend Rage to recover Hit Points in combat as a free action. The AP gained from ursine resilience does not stack with worn armor.

Silver Bane - A gurahl halves their resilience when calculating Hit Points lost from damage from a silver weapon.

Spirit Sight - The gurahl may see into the spirit world, viewing the local umbra. This requires making a FH + Wisdom check to activate, and lasts until deactivated or the end of the scene. By viewing the local umbra, the gurahl may see any lingering magical auras and traces of major events that have taken place there. The gurahl begins play with the feat Speak Language (Spirits).


Power Stat: Feral Heart

Resource Stat: Rage
A gurahl regains Rage equal to their Feral heart at the beginning of each combat and once each night when the moon (or moons, or local equivalent) rises. A gurahl may have rage equal to his Composure + Willpower + Level.


* Fast Healing - The gurahl heals 1 Hit Point per round while Shifted as long as that wound was not caused by E, X, silver, or magic. Critical damage is healed more slowly, recovering only one point per hour.

** Gaia's Touch: The gurahl may cast the Heal spell as a spell-like ability, using Feral Heart in place of a Healing rank. You also gain a specialty (natural remedies) in Arcana and Academic Lore.

*** Quick Shift - The gurahl may shift as a half action.

**** Gaia's Vengeance: A gurahl in Bear or Breaker form may spend Rage to increase their Strength by the same amount. This bonus lasts one round.

***** Unstoppable Juggernaut Incarnation: In breaker form, a gurahl may spend 1 Rage to negate 1 point of critical damage they receive.


Gurahl Walker Assets

Forest Walker
Forest Walkers protect forests, of course. But they needed to know what does and doesn't qualify as worthy of protection. You may spend a Rage to have a good idea of what wildlife lives in the area within 5km around you. You immediately know if a life form "doesn't belong," but not what or where it is.

Ice Walker
Ice Walkers were made to take down other Gurahl who step out of line. Your claw natural weapons deal +1k1 damage while in Breaker Form and are treated as silver.

Mountain Walker
Mountain Walkers travel the most and attempt non-lethal takedowns. Gain a free raise in all opposed Strength Tests as well as Grapples and gain a specialty (climbing) in Athletics.

Prairie Walker
Prairie Walkers are the warriors of the Gurahl, knowing that in order to heal you must first be safe. Gain a rank in the Erymanthean Boar sword school and you may advance this school as though it were part of your class.

Ring Walker
Ring Walkers are the guardians, keeping control where other Gurahl would rage. You are not limited by action restrictions in Breaker form, unless you fail a Fear test. If you do, you may only advance towards or attack the object of your Fear.

River Walker
River Walkers swim, of course. They use it to get food, hide, and gather materials. You may swim your full speed in water and count your constitution as double for purposes of holding breath.

Weresnake/Nagah

Tell: As a Nagah spends Rage, she grows scales on her skin and her eyes change features to resemble a snake's, and her teeth and tongue grow sharper and longer. Tatoos glow brightly with silver light.

They may also "see" heat with their scent.

Azi Dahaka: A terror, a Nagah in their Azi Dahaka form is like an ophidian on steroids. In this form, a Nagah may only advance toward or attack an opponent. A Nagah must spend 1 Rage to enter this form and may only maintain this form for Constitution + Feral Heart rounds.

***** Spirit Walk - By making a FH + Wisdom check (Typically against TN 20, though this varies depending on the area), the nagah may attempt to enter the Umbra through a reflective surface.

Nagah Season Assets

Spring
The Kamakshi are in tune with spring's energies of renewal and rebirth, and thus gain powers of peace and healing - and reversing the path of healing. The Nagah may cast Heal as a spell-like ability, using Feral Heart in place of Healing ranks to cast. The toxic property of their bites has a TN of (5 * Feral Heart) to resist.

Summer

The Nagah gains a breath weapon with the profile of a Flamer, usable once per scene at Feral Heart 1, twice at Feral Heart 3, and four times at Feral Heart 5. They may also cast Image as a spell-like ability, using Feral Heart in place of Illusion to cast.

Vwishtash

The Nagah may see through anything that isn't solid, denying it its usual effects against them. Fog, haze, the Blur spell, etc. They may also cast Charm Person as a spell-like ability, using Feral Heart in place of Enchantment to cast.
