The Planar Vagabond's Guide to the Multiverse

Werefox

Humanoid cursed to shapeshift into an intelligent giant fox.

Charm

Once per day, may force target humanoid within 30’ to Save vs Spells or be charmed for up to 1 minute.

• The charmed victim obeys the werefox’s commands.
• The victim gets another chance to save and break the charm’s effects if they receive a suicidal command or take damage.
• After succeeding on the save, target is immune to the werefox’s charm for 24 hours.

As Spellcasters

Have a natural inclination towards magic, and are often capable of casting spells.

• Spells can only be cast when in humanoid or hybrid form.
• Spellcasting werefoxes get one (or more) additional * when calculating XP.

Werebeast

• Immune to damage from mundane, non-silver weapons.
• When hit with wolfsbane, must Save vs Poison or flee, as with the Scare spell.
• While not in contact with silver or wolfsbane, heals 1 hp at the end of each combat round in which they take no damage.
• Capable of shifting between (natural) humanoid form, animal form, and a hybrid form.
  • Takes one combat round to shift form, can attack as new form at end of round.
  • Must change into and remain in hybrid or animal form during a full moon.
• Cannot wear armor, as it limits their ability to shapeshift.
• Cannot use beak, bite, claw, or talon attacks when in humanoid form.
• Humanoid form usually retains some characteristics from animal form.
• While in animal form, can only speak with animals of that type (unless otherwise noted).
• Cannot use weapons while in animal form.
• May summon 1d2 animals associated with their animal form from the surrounding area.
  • Animals arrive in 1d4 rounds.
• When killed in animal or hybrid form, reverts to humanoid form.
• Can smell other werebeasts.
• Some animals can smell werebeasts, and are afraid of them.

Infection

When a humanoid loses more than 1/2 of their max hit points from the natural attacks of a werebeast (ex: bite or claw), they must Save vs Poison or become infected with therianthropy.

• The disease takes 2d12 days to fully infect, with signs of infection appearing halfway through.
• Humanoids become the same type of werebeasts (and are typically run by the referee, at least while transformed).
