“Warpwolf ” is a template that can be added to any humanoid.
Size and Type: The base creature’s type does not change, but
the creature gains the shapechanger subtype. Its alternate
form is one size larger than the base creature. A
warpwolf uses the base creature’s statistics and special
abilities in addition to those described here.
Hit Dice and Hit Points: Same as the base creature.
Speed: Same as the base creature, although a warpwolf ’s base
speed changes based on the lunar phase of Artis. It
can also increase its speed via the use of the controlled
warping special
ability.
Armor Class: Same as the base
creature, although a
warpwolf ’s natural
armor changes based
on the lunar phase
of Laris. It can also
increase its natural
armor via the use of
the controlled warping
special ability.
Attacks: A warpwolf gains two
claw attacks and a bite
attack as natural weapons.
These weapons
deal damage based on
the warpwolf form’s
size. A warpwolf may
attack with a weapon
and a bite, or may
attack with its natural
weapons. The bite
attack of a warpwolf is
a secondary attack.
Damage: Same as the base creature. The damage of its
natural weapons depends on the size the base creature
assumes when in warpwolf form. So, when a
Medium creature changes into a Large warpwolf, its
bite damage is 2d6 and its claw damage is 1d8.
Warpwolf Size bite Damage Claw Damage
Small 1d6 1d4
Medium 1d8 1d6
Large 2d6 1d8
Huge 2d8 2d6
Special Attacks: A warpwolf retains the special attacks of
the base creature and also gains the special attacks
described below. The save DC against a special attack
is equal to 10 + 1/2 warpwolf ’s HD + warpwolf ’s
Charisma modifier unless otherwise noted.

Warpwolf
A warpwolf spellcaster cannot cast spells with verbal components
while in warpwolf form.
Baying of Chaos (Su): When a warpwolf bays, all creatures within
100 feet must make a successful Will save or be affected
as though by a confusion spell (caster level 8th). This is a
sonic mind-affecting effect that can be used 3 times per day.
Whether or not the save is successful, an affected creature is
immune to the same warpwolf ’s bay for 24 hours.
Special Qualities: A warpwolf retains all the special qualities
of the base creature and also gains those described
below:
Alternate Form (Su): A person
afflicted with the warpwolf ’s
curse transforms into a warpwolf
at certain uncontrolled times.
This change is a full round
action that draws attacks of
opportunity.
Warpwolves cannot gain the
Control Shape feat, though they
can make a Will save DC 15 to
resist the transformation. The
change usually occurs during
an emotionally trying moment,
especially one that arouses anger,
and anytime the character suffers
more than 10% of his total hit
points in damage. Based on the
intensity of the situation, the
Will save DC may increase at the
DM’s discretion. Changing shape
cannot be done at will, though
a clever person could get around
that (for example, by stabbing
himself). In addition to these emotional triggers, the warpwolf
curse causes the transformation to occur once every 4d6+10
days. This change cannot be resisted (no save allowed) and may
occur seemingly at random, though usually at night.
The change lasts until the warpwolf falls asleep, which is
usually 1d2+1 days later. Due to the addictive nature of the
transformation, resisting it becomes more difficult as time goes
on. The base Will save DC to resist increases by 1 for each
month the character suffers from the affliction, until the curse
becomes impossible to resist.
During the transformation both to and from warpwolf
form, the character heals as if he had rested for a full day.
If the character is slain in his warpwolf form, he remains
in that form in death. If slain while in humanoid form, his
features change to give some clue that he suffered from the
warpwolf curse.
