Weregoats are bloodlusty stalkers of the snow-capped mountains they call home. In humanoid form, a weregoat's pupils are rectangular like that of a goat's, and in males, their facial hair will grow into a scruffy goatee, sometimes out of nowhere. A weregoat in hybrid form is a terrifying sight, with giant, curled horns, shaggy fur of grey, black, beige, or white, hoofed feet, and a face reminiscent of demon-worshipers' symbols. Weregoats live for the hunt, silently stalking mountain climbers through the rocky terrain as they grow weak from the cold, then turning into their hybrid form and striking from nowhere, sometimes knocking the opposition clean off cliffs with their deadly horns. Weregoats usually live alone, but they are social towards others of their kind. In these rare cases, a weregoat flock will work cooperatively, slaying entire parties of travelers purely for fun, and only occasionally eating the meat of the corpses. Weregoats strike with the intent to kill, but if they do pass on their curse before death falls, the newly formed weregoat will always have a hard time adjusting to their curse, and most head for the hills; quite literally, to avoid hurting loved ones, where they will quickly adapt to the life of a stalker. Characters as WeregoatsThe character gains a Strength of 19 if his or her score isn't already higher. Attack and damage rolls for the ram are based on Strength. For the Charge trait, the DC is 8 + the character's proficiency bonus + Strength modifier. |
