Weresharks are savage and ill-tempered lycanthropes that enjoy violence. In humanoid form, a wereshark has very little body hair and noticeably long teeth. In battle, a wereshark focuses its force on one target, tearing it to pieces with its bite before moving on to other targets, only shifting its focus to attack particularly troublesome foes. A wereshark prefers to live in coastal regions, where it can indulge its hunger for raw fish and the occasional sailor, and where it can take full use of its shark form, which is poorly suited for fighting on land. Characters as WeresharksThe character gains a Strength of 18 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in shark or hybrid form (from natural armour). Attack and damage rolls for the bite are based on Strength. |
