Wolf's Fury (5e class)

Wolf Fury

Long ago, in the ancestral forests, a tribe known as the Lupines lived in harmony with the wolves that surrounded them. The Lupines were fierce warriors and guardians of nature, respected for their mystical connection with the wolves. This connection was so deep that some members of the tribe could channel the spirit of the wolf, partially transforming during battles. These warriors were known as the Wolf Furies.

Legend has it that the first Wolf Fury, a warrior named Ulric, was the leader of the Lupine tribe. Ulric was known for his bravery and wisdom, and his bond with the wolves was unparalleled. During a great threat to his tribe, Ulric made a pact with Fenris, the spirit of the great ancestral wolf. In exchange for his own life, Ulric received the power to transform into a wolf-warrior, gaining supernatural strength, speed, and endurance. With these abilities, he led his tribe in defending their lands against invaders, becoming a living legend.

The Wolf Furies receive the blessing of Fenris, granting them the ability to enter a lupine transformation during their rages. When a Wolf Fury enters a rage, they can manifest sharp claws and a powerful bite attack, becoming a formidable threat on the battlefield. These warriors can also choose additional benefits that reflect the characteristics of wolves, such as increased speed, damage resistance, and the ability to regenerate their wounds through vampiric vitality.

Warriors who wish to become Wolf Furies must undergo rigorous training, both physical and spiritual. They begin their journeys as hunters and protectors of the tribe, learning to survive in the forests and fight with ferocity. During this training, they perform sacred rituals to connect with the spirit of Fenris, seeking his blessing. Only the most worthy and determined can awaken the lupine fury within themselves.

The Wolf Furies do not fight only for themselves but also to protect nature and their tribes. They are the guardians of the forests, defending their territory against external threats and maintaining the natural balance. Their connection with the wolves allows them to understand the language of animals and sense the changes in the nature around them. This makes them not only formidable warriors but also wise protectors of their homes.

The essence of the Wolf Furies is the primal fury that burns within their hearts. For some, this fury is a source of pain and suffering forged into unwavering strength. For others, it is a spiritual blessing, a gift from the great ancestral wolf that grants them the strength and determination of their totemic predecessors. These warriors carry with them the heritage of Ulric and the ancient Lupines, keeping the flame of their lineage alive.

In their journeys, the Wolf Furies face epic challenges and powerful enemies. Their lives are stories of courage, struggle, and sacrifice, echoing the glories of a lost era. They are the heirs of the Lupines, fierce warriors who carry the flame of an ancestral wolf king, ready to face any threat that endangers what they hold most dear. Through their fury and determination, the Wolf Furies continue to protect their lands and their people, keeping alive the legacy of Fenris and the Lupines.

Additionally, tapping into your primal survival instincts, when you are reduced to 1 hit point, you can harness a burst of dangerous intuition.

Heightened Senses

At 7th level, you develop keen senses akin to those of a wolf. You gain darkvision with a range of 18 meters and advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell or hearing. This enhancement of your senses allows you to perceive the world with clarity even in the darkest of environments, mirroring the acute awareness of a prowling wolf.

Lupine Fury Assault

Starting at 10th level, while raging, you can use a bonus action on your turn to knock a Large or smaller creature prone when you hit it with a melee weapon attack. If you hit the target with a melee attack during this charge, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or be knocked prone. If the target falls, you can make an additional bite attack against it as part of the same bonus action. This devastating maneuver exemplifies the savage ferocity of the Wild Wolf, allowing you to swiftly overpower your foes in combat.

Wolf's Tenacity's

Fury's Endurance

At 15th level, your Wild Wolf's Fury channels the entirety, unleashing an unyielding resilience even in the face of imminent death.

• Survival Instinct: You enhance your resistance to death. Whenever you are reduced to 0 hit points and are not instantly killed by massive damage, you can spend 1 Predation Point to automatically regain 1d10 + your Constitution modifier hit points. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once), regaining all uses after a long rest.

• Lupine Frenzy: In moments of dire need, you can unleash a lupine frenzy, allowing your wild fury to reach a new pinnacle. When you are below half of your maximum hit points, you can spend 2 Predation Points to trigger this frenzy. During the lupine frenzy, your unarmed strikes deal additional damage equal to your Strength modifier, and you have advantage on saving throws against effects that would cause the incapacitated condition. This frenzy state lasts for one minute, after which you suffer one level of exhaustion.

Lupine Regeneration

Starting at 18th level, while raging, you regain 8 hit points at the beginning of each of your turns. However, if you take damage from silver or a spell, this ability doesn't function at the start of your next turn. This remarkable regeneration ability channels the primal vitality of the Wild Wolf, allowing you to swiftly recover from injuries sustained in battle.
