SPECIAL ABILITIES

Alternate Form (Su)

A therianthrope’s natural form is that of the base animal. It can shift into two other forms as though using the polymorph spell on itself, though only a specific human form or hybrid form can be assumed. Equipment carried by the therianthrope in human or hybrid form shifts with it and is absorbed into its animal form. Magic items do not function while in this form. When a therianthrope shifts back into human or hybrid form, equipment (including magic items) returns to normal and function normally.

A therianthrope’s first form is that of a human. A therianthrope always assumes the same appearance and traits in human form. In this form, it cannot use its natural weapons or any extraordinary special attacks. It can wield weapons and wear armor however.

Its second form is a bipedal hybrid form with prehensile hands and animalistic features. The therianthrope retains its natural attacks and extraordinary special attacks in this form, and can also wield weapons or wear armor. Changing forms is a standard action. A slain therianthrope reverts to its animal form, although it remains dead. Separated body parts retain their human or hybrid form, however.

Lethargy (Ex)

By speaking or singing, a wolfwere can slow all creatures within 60 feet that hear it if they fail a DC 12 Will save. The slow effects last 1d4+3 rounds. A bard’s countersong ability allows the creature to attempt a new Will save. This is a sonic mind–affecting effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same wolfwere’s lethargy ability for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.
