Werewolf Hunger

• Changing shape uses a great deal of bodily energy, hyper-charging the metabolism.
• As a result, at the end of any full shapeshift, a werewolf is as hungry as if he'd not eaten in 24 hours.
• This is cumulative over multiple shifts, meaning that werewolves who try and shift too rapidly and too often can actually starve to death.
• This is reflected in the Hungry, Ravenous and Starving Tilts

Wolf's Appetite

Types of food consumed when Ravenous or Starving is based on difference between Primal Urge and Harmony ratings.

• Harmony is equal or higher: Normal human food is sufficient.
• Primal Urge is 1-2 points higher: The food eaten must be meat.
• Primal Urge is 3-4 points higher: The food eaten must be meat, and it must be raw.
• Primal Urge is 5+ points higher: The food eaten must be raw human flesh.
