| - | *[[Ithaeur]] (Crescent Moon, Spirit Master)
| + | == What is the mindset of a Werewolf? == |
| - | **Renown: [[Wisdom]]
| + | "Average" Werewolves are strongly pack-aligned and social, with powerful bonds to their pack brothers and sisters. A regular "night as a wolf" consists of patrolling and maintaining their territory, interaction with the pack, and ensuring that the Hisil and the regular world aren't attempting to have a massive cat fight with each other, and that no one's sticking their nose in. Clashes with other packs aren't uncommon if they intrude on territory. |

| + | |
| | | | |
| - | *[[Irraka]] (New Moon, Stalker)
| + | Also, the Hisil doesn't like them. People don't like them. If anyone ever finds out what you are, they're probably going to try and kill you, and as it turns out, the rumour about what works on werewolves is totally true. |

Also applies to rolls to sense [[Locus|loci]] ([[Pool::Wits]] + [[Pool::Investigation Skill|Investigation]] + PU).
| + | |
| | | | |
| - | ====Death Rage ([[Kuruth]])====
| + | They also give off a predatory, wolfish air to normal people the higher their Primal Urge is, and can detect each other, and the wolfblooded, by scent in all forms. They also live with the knowledge that violence can suddenly explode from them, no matter how pleasant and calm they might be in ordinary life. The Rage is both a weapon and a massive downside of being a werewolf - it makes them more able to defend and protect themselves, but it can lead to them turning on their allies and mortal families. |

| | + | Basically, you don't. |
| | | | |
| - | Automatic Provocation
| + | Werewolf doesn't have a safehouse merit per RAW, and it mucks things up a bit to HR one. Werewolves are unique in that the venue is set up especially to take advantage of small unit tactics and forging a tightly knit group. Because of this, a variety of merits like the safehouse are...less then fitting. |
| - | * Wounded by [[Aggravated|aggravated]] damage
| + | |
| - | * Struck by an exceptional success attack roll
| + | |
| - | * Striking an exceptional attack success
| + | |
| - | * Wound is marked on one of character’s last 3 health boxes
| + | |
| | | | |
| - | {|
| + | If a standard safehouse were to be allowed for size and security a standard pack of 4+ wolves would have a Size 4 Security 4 safehouse in a month or two for 6 xp, with a locus following shortly after. The Crusaders took this the furthest as far as I've seen, requiring a stipend of 6-8 XP to stay in the pack to go towards Pack Den or a Guardian Spirit. The end result was very efficient in getting ridiculous essence among other perks you really wouldn't see in other venues. For this reason SDog, then me and Kelreth, talked about ditching the merit for something more thematically appropriate (wolves don't stay in a single home like the Herd). From the looks of it Kelreth and SDog have taken steps to continue the process. |
