Wulfkin
T
hese canine humanoids are descendants of
dire wolves, or so the Dimelan Academy of
Anthropology claims. The fact that some of
them resemble foxes rather than wolves,
apparently did not occur to them. Wulfkin
share some of the instinct of their feral
counterparts, although they do not behave
like the typical predators.
In regions where their existence is lesser known, they
are often mistaken for werewolves. In some areas, they
are even hunted as such, usually by bounty hunters
wielding silvered weapons - only to be disappointed once
they find out their quarry is not infected with lycanthropy.
Black Wulfkin are also mistaken for Hell Hounds or Hound
Archon, which can be quite confusing.
Social Structure
Wulfkin live in groups with a tribal structure, even in towns
and cities. Warriors operate either alone, or in a pack.
Their heightened sense of smell makes Wulfkin excellent
hunters and scouts.
Wulfkin Traits
Ability Score Increase: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2;
choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1.
Alignment: Wulfkin can be any alignment. Those living
alone or in pairs are often more on the chaotic side, while
those living in groups usually need to adhere to the tribal
hierarchy. Such Wulfkin tend to be Lawful or Neutral.
Age: Wulfkin reach maturity at age 16. Use 14 + 2d6 for a
random starting age. Most Wulfkin live to around 85 to 90
years.
Size: On average, Wulfkin slightly taller than humans. Your
size is Medium.
Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages: Wulfkin begin play knowing Common and
Sylvan. Other languages often known by Wulfkin are
Dwarvish, Elvish, Goblin, and Orcish.
Religion: Most Wulfkin follow deities of Nature, Life, Order
or Twilight. Deities associated with forests and secrets are
also often worshipped. Many Wulfkin are monotheistic.
Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of
gray.
Racial Feats: Wulfkin can take the Prodigy feat.
Wulfkin Diversity
Additionally, choose three of the following traits:
Fast Speed: Your reflexes and agility allow you to move
with a burst of speed. When you move on your turn in
combat, you can add 15 feet until the end of the turn.
Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you
move 0 feet on one of your turns.
Keen Senses (Scent): You have advantage on skill checks
that involve scent. You can identify familiar odors just as
humans do familiar sights. You can detect other creatures
within 30 feet (double or halve in case of wind), given that
said creature can be detected by scent. Detecting a
creature can be done in combat, but the Wulfkin cannot
move in the same turn. Water (particularly running water)
ruins a scent trail. If a scent is masked by a false odor, you
have neither advantage nor disadvantage.
Lunge: Some Wulfkin have worg blood mixed in their
heritage. These Wulfkin increase their reach by 5 feet on
their turn when they perform a melee attack, as they lash
out quickly and viciously.
Relentless Endurance: When you are reduced to 0 hit
points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point
instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a
long rest.
Wild Instinct: You are proficient in Deception and have
advantage on checks made to cover or erase your tracks.
Wulfkin Bite: Some less civilized Wulfkin have the muzzle
of a feral wolf parent, full of vicious teeth. They have a bite
attack that deals 1d6 piercing damage.
