Shifter Traits 

Your lycanthrope heritage grants you the following:

  • Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
  • Age. Shifters age as humans or perhaps slightly quicker.
  • Alignment. Due to their primal nature, most shifters concentrate primarily on their own survival and tend to be unaligned.
  • Size. Shifters have roughly the same proportions as humans.
  • Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
  • Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night's sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.
  • Shifting. You draw from your primal ancestry, temporarily taking on beastial powers. This power ends after one minute or if you fall unconscious. You cannot use this feature again until you have completed a long rest. Shifting requires an action to activate but can be ended at anytime. Specific powers are listed under each subrace.
