Description


Don't confuse the Dire Wolf with the Were Wolf. Though they may at times look similar, they are nothing alike! A mistake many poor victims have learned the heard way. The Dire Wolf is a human-beast hybrid created during war in an act of desperation to win... only to be tossed aside upon victory and left to fend for themselves. They are ferocious looking, frighteningly tall with big teeth and claws; their body looks like that of a giant wolf, but one that walks upright (bipedal). Their demeanor though is gentle and meek, and they abhor violence since their creation twisted them so drastically.

Race Drawbacks

  • -2 to hit when near natural fire due to instinctual fear. Must beat an APT roll in instances of having to travel through fire.

  • Considered a 'Beast' creature, non-humanoid.

  • Can only wear chest, arm (upper), and leg (upper) pieces for armor.
