Legends & Lore
CoMMoN: A rare malady exists that makes man become
possessed of beast, turning into a horrid wolf creature that
stalks the wilds, hunting all that lives.
UNCoMMoN: These creatures are called warpwolves, and
their bodies are constantly in a state of flux.
RARE: A warpwolf ’s changes are a mix of control and entropy.
They seem subject to the whims of the moons, though
during a confrontation they can change their bodies to meet
their needs.
obSCURE: An alchemical tonic does exist that will keep
a man from undergoing the change into beast, though it is
difficult to come by, and it weakens the body even if it does
prevent change.
Hooks
A crooked and vengeful alchemist out of Fellig has rediscovered
the ancient Devourer cult’s rites to transform a man
into a warpwolf. The madman has performed the rite on
none other than his own family (four adults and three children).
So far nothing has happened, but soon they are going
to undergo their first change, warping into hungry wolfbeasts,
ready to tear the city apart.

Warpwolf
Quicksilver Tonic: This is a silvery liquid
alchemically brewed by the Devourer cult that
originally spawned these horrid creatures. It
was used to help victims resist the change into
their abominable other self. It does not guarantee
safety, but it considerably increases the odds of
maintaining control. Imbibing the proper dosage
(about 30 oz.) grants the recipient a +12
circumstance bonus to his Will save to resist the
change. Furthermore, it prevents the addiction
from taking hold (and thus increases the save
DC) so long as it is taken on a regular basis.
In order for it to function, it must be taken just
before a change is about to take place.
It is, however, poisonous. Ingested, Fortitude
DC 13, initial damage 1d8 Str, secondary
damage 1d6 Str and 1d6 Int. Should the
imbiber fail his shapechanging save and become a
warpwolf, the poison is shrugged off.
Only a few alchemical shops across the lands
possess the formula for this concoction, and they
do not sell it cheaply.
This form of lunar
sensitivity appears to be
unique to the warpwolf
— thank goodness.
