Lycan, Lore Variant

Lycans in lore are imited to only one type: wolf. They are men beyond men: bestial, powerful, deadly. Feared across all four continents of Lore, they exist where their mortal enemies, the vampires, cannot.

Deemed unholy beasts by all creatures, Lycans have an underground life style, telling none of their curse. Few deem this a blessing, and many hate those that made them this way aswell as those who condemn them to solitude. Cults, or packs of lycanthropes sometimes form out of necessity or hatred. These often designate the most powerful as the alpha wolf, or wolf lord.

Creating a Lycanthrope

Lycans can be born, or made. A creatue bitten by a lycan must make a Fort save or transform on the next full moon.
