Werewolf Heavy Patch

Let me begin with, this is not a condemnation of the Official Midian version of Lycanthropy. This is just a patch concept for epic level werewolves, not for the faint of heart. The unOfficial Werewolf Heavy Patch takes a different take on lycanthropy in Midian. It will require more initial set-up, more running up-keep & book-keeping and multiple character sheets. Heavy Patch Werewolves have only three forms compared to the Official five. Each of the forms will require dice rolls and a character sheet. (Many aspects of Lycanthropy are unchanged from Famine. Below are changes only, other aspects remain the same based on Famine.)
Human Form:
The most intelligent of the three forms also happens to be the weakest and slowest. Roll as per the Codex (3D6 for all twelve attributes).
Natural Form:
Better known as half-form. This is the favored form of lycanthropy for Werewolf Heavy Patch. It is also the strongest form of the three. Lycanthropy prefers its natural form. In conditions of stress, anger, enragement, and exhaustion the lycanthrope must make a willpower check to resist shifting to half-form. (From Famine; this is a blend of Human and wolf. The head shows a more canine definition, and the body is completely covered in fur. The feet are usually altered to digitigrade (walks on its toes like a wolf), but this form moves bipedal—although running may be done on all-fours. The half-form is somewhat taller, about 20%, than the Human form from the modifications to the feet, legs, and neck.) Roll die, add to or subtract from human stat according to chart.Appearance: -2D6Personality: ---Grace: ---Strength: +5D6Agility: +3D6Stamina: +3D6Knowledge: -2D6Wits: (hu)Willpower: +3D6Awareness: +2D6Speed: +5D6Common Sense: (hu)

Wolf Form:
The fastest and lightest form of the three. (From Famine; indistinguishable from other canines. In the wolf form the Lycanthrope has about half its mass as when in the other forms.) Roll die, add to or subtract from human stat according to chart.
