Homebrew Kreigervulf Race Details

Similar to the Tabaxi, the Kreigervulf are humanoid wolves, however they are much larger than their cat counterparts. Standing at over 7.5 ft tall, these creatures are as imposing as the herds of Goliath that roam the plains. Their settlements in the mountains allow them ready connections with dwarf kingdoms for trade. They are skillful artisans and warriors, valuing honor and valor above all else. Not only are they dangerous with weapons and armor, but their claws and teeth are razor sharp and just as deadly as any blade.

Family Oriented:

These creatures have created clan centric villages in the mountains. They believe in sticking together and building a strong family unit where all are supported and guided.

Art at it's Finest:

At a young age, the kreigervulf choose an trade to train in and master. As this is how they trade with other communities, it is very important that each member of the clan masters his art form, because the craftsmanship must overcome the imposing stature of the wolf. Each wolf also picks a unique design to specialize in to prevent too much competition.

Intense Fighters:

Though a relatively peaceful race, once provoked the kreigervulf are frightening to behold on the battlefield. The most seasoned barbarians have run from the field after merely hearing the howl of a raging kreigervulf. Their skills with weapons and armor are equal to or better than the best trained soldiers in the capitol's army, but they are just as deadly without a weapon.

Honor and valor above all:

The kreigervulf believe in honor and valor in all their affairs. They are honest to a fault and will not strike an enemy in an underhanded manner. They believe in being gentlemen, even if the enemy doesn't.
