Werewolf Feral Triggers

From OakthorneWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
  • Certain stimuli in a werewolf's environment rouse a primal response from the Feral Wolf. Anytime a werewolf encounters one of these stimuli, his Feral Wolf may attempt to cause him to go Feral.
  • Each of these trigger types increases a werewolf's Rage by a given amount. This rage is used by the Feral Wolf in its attempts to drive the werewolf Feral.
  • Packmates: Packmates almost never trigger the Feral Wolf in one another by their behaviors, as their Wolves consider members of their pack to be "safe" and almost never trigger a response.

"Hunt," or Predator Triggers

  • First instance of aggravated damage (3 Rage)
