Luck of the Damned

While they possess three luck points same as everyone else, they can only use them all at once or not at all. As a result they are frequently the victims of rather extreme and strange unlikely situation for better or worse.

Good With Animals

The Verdon are naturally adept at reading animals body language and understanding them.

The Nature of the Beast

When sufficiently emotionally provoked, usually in response to themselves and those they are loyal to being endangered (the dm will have you role for this via constitution), they can undergo a transformation into a beastly wolf which they must make a constitution save to come back from unless their other party members can successfully calm them down. They cannot transform at will. With this, generally it can be thought of as how dogs get when protecting their owners.

Lessened Aversion to Magic

They can use magic but are unable to wield magic items.
