Lycans
Also known as “wolfbloods,” lycans are folk who have inherited the curse of lycanthropy in a minor, but persistent and incurable, form that sets them apart from other mortals. Lycans appear to be members of other ancestries, but their bodies possess obvious bestial traits, such as sharp teeth, yellow eyes, or hair as thick as a shaggy pelt. When angered, a lycan’s form becomes more animalistic and fierce.
Lycans as Savage World Ancestry
Lycans can usually pass as normal humans unless they are under close scrutiny. As a limited free action, they can transform into a more bestial, wolfish state; while in this form, they gain access to their Bite and Claw ancestral abilities.
Accursed Ancestry: Lycans suffer a -1 penalty to all Spirit rolls.
Bestial Rage: The beast is always ready to spring forth and cause carnage. All lycans possess the Berserk Edge.
Bite: In their bestial forms, lycan fangs cause Str+d4 damage and may be used on grappled foes.
Bloodthirsty: Lycans never takes prisoners unless under the direct order of the person they consider the leader of their "pack."
Claws: In their bestial forms, lycans have claws that cause Str+d6 damage and are AP 2.
Easily Angered: Lycans subtract 2 when resisting Taunt attacks.
Heightened Sense of Smell: A keen sense of smell gives lycans +2 to Survival rolls made to track if the target has a scent and the trail is no more than a day old.
Hunted: Lycans must always be wary of monster hunters who might mistake them for full-blooded werewolves.
Low Light Vision: Lycans ignore penalties for Dim or Dark illumination (but not Pitch Darkness).
Monstrous Weakness: Attacks made with silvered weapons deal +4 damage against Lycans.
