Uratha
A man walks through the night with no pack on his back or wagon at his heels. His haggard beard sways gently in the winter breeze but although he wears only rags, he never shivers. A howl pierces the night sky and the man looks slowly towards the source of the sound. A dozen wolves slink towards him, stalking... He sniffs the air. Then he leans over and his body begins to contort, his legs bend and snap and his shoulders pull inwards. Long hair the color of his beard spread over his body and in the moonlight, there are now a thirteen wolves.
"As the hole in the earth opened creatures and spirits poured out, I thought we were were doomed but then a pack of wolves came to our rescue! In front of my eyes some of them became hulking man-wolf hybrids while others assumed a human form and used magic to ward off the evil. This is the only recorded text of this even as after this happened were all we were told we would not remember it so I wrote this so as to remind myself...""
A woman stands against a tide of soldiers, each with iron spears and swords, bows and ballista. She looks battle hardened by not enough to kill all these men let alone escape with her life. But no matter how hard they tried, no matter hoe many arrows found their mark, not a scratch was left on her skin. Then she howls like a beast, a wolf, and she grows as hair begins to cover her body and her face extends into a snout, her teeth grow like fangs and her fingers turn to razor sharp claws. And she smiles... as she tears the army to shreds for not a single one of their weapon could harm her.
These are examples of Uratha, the protectors of the material realm and the guardians of the places where our realm overlaps with the spiritual one.
Creating an Uratha
When creating an Uratha think about where you came from. What tribe did you originate from and what auspice were you? What are your opinions and where do you stand on protecting the material realm from the spirit realm? Maybe you have rejected that duty and been thrown from your tribe, maybe you embrace it and are on a quest to see all the overlaps and check up on their integrity?
Do you embrace you nature as an Uratha or resent it? Was anyone killed due to your rage or first transformation? If so, who and what impact did this have on your character?
Quick Build
You can make an Uratha quickly by following these suggestions. First put your highest ability score in strength, followed by wisdom or constitution. Second, choose the outlander or hermit background.
Class Features
As an Uratha, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d10 per Uratha level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + your constitution modifier
Hit Points at higher Levels: 1d10 (or 7) + your constitution modifier per Uratha levels after 1st
Proficiencies
Armor: Light Armor
Weapons: Simple Weapons
Tools: None
Saving Throws: Strength, Wisdom
Skills: Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Stealth, Survival
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) Shortbow and 20 arrows (b) Quarterstaff (c) Spear
- (a) Explorer's Pack (b) Monster Hunter's Pack (see: Cure of Strahd)
- A symbol/Ornament of from yoru tribe
Essence
Essence is the manifestation of your natural connection to the spirit world. Each Uratha uses it to a different end but the power of them all is one and the same. Expended essence is restored when you finish a long rest.
Choosing Your Beliefs
As an Uratha you must choose whether to be a Forsaken Uratha or a Pure Tribe.
As a Forsaken Uratha you embrace your auspice and your tribe. You have sworn an oath to Luna, the oath of the moon. You must uphold these tenets as one who has sworn the oath:
- You must not murder other Forsaken Uratha or bear silver against them.
- You may not eat the flesh of man (humanoid) or wolf
- You may not mate with other werewolves or wolves
As you have sworn this oath you have undertaken the role of guarding the material realm from the spiritual realm. This is your duty past even your life.
As a member of the Pure, you have burned away your auspice in a ritual after your first change. You do not benefit from the auspice feature but gain additional features from your tribe in place of this. You have descended from the wolves who did not hunt down Father Wolf and resent the forsaken for committing such acts. You see no reason to patrol the border between realms and are indifferent to the needs of spirits. Your kind outnumber the Forsaken and are more susceptible to the curses of Luna as you do not pledge your allegiance to her.
Auspice
Each Forsaken Uratha has an auspice determined by the moon they were born under and their personality. It drives your skills as well as your place in Uratha society.
