MrPlague's Authentic Races
Werewolves, aka Lycanthropes, aka Lycans.
I have a reworked idea for the way the Werewolf Race works with Positive and Negative traits. I’m mostly just spitballing so that I can get this idea out, because I found the time/temporal abilities to not really fit a Werewolf.



Positive Traits:


“The power of the moon strengthens me.”

Increased defense, mobility, and damage at night. (There is a downside to this, that I will cover in the Negative Trait section.)


“I’m one of them, now.”

Other Werewolves and Canine creatures will not attack you, and will even protect you if you’re harmed while they’re nearby.



“I’ve become an Apex Predator.”

You can deal damage without a weapon. (Requires hand to be empty to work*)

(**How I assume it’d be coded.)



“Pack Instincts”

You now regain a substantial amount of health from “eating” prey animals. (Killing them with your claws)


“Powerful Muscles”

Your curse has granted you exceptional mobility, allowing you immunity to fall damage, and the ability to leap, dodge, and sprint without any accessories!



Negative Traits:


“I can hardly control The Beast within.”

You deal damage to NPCs at all times, watch those claws!



“My, what big ears I have!”

Cannot wear helmets, as your sensitive ears get squished and crushed by them. (You now gain set bonuses from wearing only the chest and pants of Armour.)


“No fly zone!”

You cannot use wings, as your kind are very instinctual and feral, and thus lack the knowledge to properly utilize them.


“Feral.”

As stated before, you’re a creature of instinct, and start off the game very feral. You’ll have to civilize yourself, as you have no idea how to craft anything…good thing there’s a guide to teach you how to craft, huh?
