Wereapes are savage, yet secretive lycanthropes. In humanoid form, wereapes are muscular and hairy, and they often rest their hands on the ground as they walk. In animal form, a wereape becomes covered in fur and its teeth become much longer and sharper. Most wereapes do battle in hybrid form, where they can make full use of their natural abilities. Characters as WereapesThe character gains a Strength of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in ape or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on Strength. |
