So, werewolves. Like vampires, there is more than one kind of werewolf…
1. Humans that turn into wolfman hybrids.
2. Humans with the ability to turn into hybrids and wolves.
3. Humans who turn into wolves, sometimes really big wolves.
Okay i’d quite happily see 3 dissapear. But to represent these in MHR, the main problem is
Power sets. The easiest way seems to be one powerset per form. The only two issues with that is possibly having 3 sets, and having gear in the human power set. But i figure few Weres have all 3, and if you have substantial human form powers you probably don’t have gear.
Dice for Powers and specialities
Omega wolf – New : 15 dice
Gamma wolf : 20 dice
Beta wolf : 25 dice
Alpha wolf – leader of a pack : 30 dice
Ronin : 25-30 dice. Some weres have left a pack and manage on their own.
this is only rough, for balance, so of course you can ignore it. Also, it looks like a lot of dice, but split between mutually exclusive power sets it doesn’t go far.
All werewolf powersets have the following limits which do not count towards the dice limit:
Limit. Werewolf. Gain a PP when affected by Werewolf specific milestones, complication or Tech. Step-up damage from Silver by one. Silver prevents Healing/Regeneration from working.
Limit. Mutually exclusive. Shutdown the active powerset to activate another powerset.
Some werewolf powersets have the following SFX which do not count towards the dice limit:
SFX. Regeneration. Spend a PP to heal all Physical Stress, or step back physical Trauma by 1.
For each power set, choose from the following powers:
Human Power set
