WereWolf Characteristics
Multiple Forms: A wereolf is able to assume human and wolf forms, as well as three other forms. One such form is Crinos, the dreaded "wolfman" half-form, which is the incarnation of Rage. The other two forms resimble human and wolf form respectivly, but are larger and more savage.
Immunity to Wounds: A Garou is not really immune to injury, but is able to regenerate injuries incredibly quickly (one Health Level per turn). Only if a werewolf recieves wounds that reduce her below the Incapacitated Health Level (wounds fatal to normal humans) is she slowed down for long. However, wounds coaused by silver weapons, fire, and the claws and teeth of their own kind (or other supernatural beasts) cannot be regenerated this way.
Gifts: Garou are able to speak with spirit and can us them to transform the world. The various Gifts they wield are tangible effects of these mystical powers.
Perception: Garou have vastly increased powers of perception. They are simply able to smell and hear better --- specificaly when in Lupus form.
The Delirium: Garou in Crinos form create a blind, instinctive terrer in humans who view them. Humans' dependence upon rationality is so total that they cannot accept the truth of werwolves' exsistence; the will believe any convient rationale rather then concede the existence of Garou. Most silply forget what they have seen. The end result of the reaction, known as the Veil, is the predominant reason why werewolves are generally thought to be creatures of legend.
Frenzy: Werewolves are extremely emotional creatures and can be overcome y their emotions, especially the emotion of anger. They can be driven into Frenzy --- a mad beserk rage. A werewolves ammmount of pent-up Rage (furtration) is an important foactor in this occurance. Durring a frenzy, the Garou instinctively changes into Crinos form, and nothing is remembered about ones human side --- the domination of the wolf is total.
