Homebrew Aquiet’r Werewolf Species Details

CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT.

Aquiet’r werewolves are formed in one of 4 ways: By being conceived by at least one existing werewolf, imbibing a tincture of werewolf blood (among other ingredients, a mystery to most people), consuming the flesh of an existing werewolf or being cursed by a Hag (or creature of similar ability, but usually hags). While in the past the accursed were considered wild, untameable, and so dangerous as to be better off dead, in our current time, they have reached a place of carefully maintained good standing with broader society thanks to the creation of Wild Conclaves and the favor or Haruun, god of the wilds.

 

Culture and Conclaves.

Conclaves are small, isolated settlements, usually with loose communication with other Conclaves, where werewolves congregate on pilgrimage (typically after being newly created, but many do make a tradition of it) to learn the skill necessary to contain and control their bestial nature. Through training and communion with Haruun, young and newly made werewolves develop tools to control and maintain their sense of self during a transformation. Some even stay in the conclave their whole life, feeling at ease with creatures similar to them and finding peace in the simple, dedicated work conclave life entails. In this way, conclaves are temple, pilgrimage site, community and training ground all in one.

Aquiet’r Werewolf Traits

Although they appear like any other species, Aquiet’r werewolves have the following traits.

Ability Score Increase

You can increase any ability by 1 three times (for a total of +3 in a single stat, or a +2 and a +1, or a +1 and a +1 and +1).

Age

Werewolves age at the same rate as whatever their base species is, but live for slightly longer (around 10 extra years).

Size

Your size is whatever that of your base species is.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Transformation.

Werewolves all have the ability to transform into a half-Wolf form at will, the transformation sometimes being triggered involuntarily by reaching zero hit points. This transformation can only be used once per long rest and lasts an hour. It can be done over a ten minute period, in which was the transformation works as normally, or as a single bonus action, in which case the player must pass a DC 16 wisdom save or be frenzied for the duration of the transformation, perceiving all living creatures around it as enemies. The transformation drops early if the werewolf is put to sleep, rendered unconscious, dropped willingly or, if frenzied, someone is capable of talking them down.

 

While transformed, you have advantage on strength and constitution rolls and any perception rolls that rely on the senses, as well as Darkvision. They get one additional attack, and can use their claws as a 1d8 slashing weapon or bite down using their fangs as a 1d10 piercing weapon. They are also vulnerable to silvered weapons and their speed increases by 10 ft.
