Homebrew Fire Werebolf Species Details

In a flash of lights and magic and pain, your blood begins to boil, and your limbs begin to transform. The cycle of the moon forces you to know when the time comes as the uncontrollable fury overtakes your mind and body. Through the unholy combination of beasts, bear and wolf, you rise through fire and roar into the night.

Cursed Line

Your line of lycanthropy is a unique line, descending from cursed origins rather than natural virus, it also cannot be transferred through bite. You have no hybrid form, only your true form and beast form. When you transform, you make an attack roll against the nearest creature or against nature or a structure. Your mind is blinded, leaving you with no say as to what your actions may be in your beast form; you gain disadvantage in INT and WIS saves. Discuss this feature with your DM as to how it will function in session. After you return to your true form, you gain 1 level in exhaustion until you finish a long rest.

Appearance (Optional)

From your curse, your true form becomes altered. Roll a dice or select 2 traits from the options below.
