Werewolves are cursed lycanthropes that shift between wolflike human and
humanlike wolf forms. By day, they are intelligent and civilized beings, but
when the sun sets they become ferocious wolves. As wolves they have greatly
enhanced strength and speed, but their thoughts and emotions are reduced to
feral instincts. Unlike their wolf cousins, werewolves tend to be solitary
predators rather than pack hunters.
Werewolves dislike excessive light, and may be singed by holy attacks or silver
weapons. Normal weapons have little effect against werewolves, nor does evil
magic, since they are already cursed. Werewolves are good warriors and thieves,
but lack the discipline for more mental occupations. They have powerful bites
that they can use automatically while attacking. With a weapon they can fight
in the rage style, and without they can use the shadowclaw stance.
"They awake for flesh. Chose pain as path. Refuse a light to blind you and me."
Note: The automatic bite attack "maul" only applies when a werewolf is in
wolf form (at night). Werewolves can also only use the bite skill at night.
