Apex - Warren Woodhammer

Cursed Senses

Your curse sharpens your animal instincts. For the duration, add 1d4 to Perception or Survival checks relying on smell, hearing, tracks, fear, blood, or fresh wounds. You also know if a creature within 30 ft. is bleeding, poisoned, diseased, or frightened if you can smell or hear it.

Feral Claws

Briefly manifest claws, fangs, crushing paws, hooked talons, or ratlike teeth. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage. The appearance hints at your chosen therianthropic archetype.

Curse-Blooded Form

Choose your therianthropic curse archetype: Werewolf, Wererat, Werebat, or Werebear. For the duration, minor traits appear and you gain advantage on one related check: Werewolf Athletics or Survival, Wererat Stealth or Sleight of Hand, Werebat Perception or Acrobatics, Werebear Athletics or Intimidation.

Werewolf: Pack Howl

Release a cursed howl. Until the start of your next turn, allies of your choice in the emanation add 1d4 to the first attack roll or Survival check they make against a creature you can smell, see, or have wounded this encounter.

Wererat: Slink Through

Your bones and posture compress with ratlike flexibility. Until the end of this turn, you can move through spaces as narrow as 6 inches, ignore nonmagical difficult terrain made of rubble, trash, crowds, or sewer terrain, and add 1d4 to Stealth checks.

Werebat: Night Echo

Your ears sharpen and your voice clicks with cursed echo. For the duration, gain darkvision 60 ft. or increase existing darkvision by 30 ft., and add 1d4 to Perception checks based on hearing. This does not function in magical silence.

Werewolf: Blood Hunt

Choose one creature whose blood, scent, tracks, or voice you have encountered. For the duration, you have advantage on Survival and Perception checks to find it, and your first natural weapon hit against it each round deals extra damage equal to your CON modifier.

Wererat: Plague Skitter

Move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks, passing through hostile spaces if they are your size or larger. One creature you pass within reach must make a CON save, taking 3d8 piercing or poison damage on a failed save, or half on a success.

Werebat: Winged Hybrid

Your hybrid form grows membranous wings. Gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed and a limited fly speed of 30 ft.; you fall safely if you end your turn airborne without moving at least 10 ft. or without space to glide.

Werebear: Mauling Grip

Make a melee power attack with claws or crushing paws. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 slashing or bludgeoning damage and, if Large or smaller, must make a STR save or become grappled by you.

Werewolf: Pack Alpha

Your curse radiates pack dominance. For the duration, allies of your choice in the emanation have advantage on attack rolls against a creature if you hit that creature with a natural weapon since the start of your last turn. Hostile beasts and lycanthropes must make a WIS save to willingly attack anyone other than you.

Wererat: Vermin King

Rats, vermin, sewer-creatures, and similar scavengers recognize your curse. For the duration, you may command mundane swarms or vermin in the emanation with simple non-suicidal commands. Hostile swarms must make a WIS save or become indifferent for 1 minute.
