Also, the Long Running feat/ability/thingy should only be possible in Homid and (non-Bunyip) Lupus forms.įirst of all, a quick question: What does the “# / #” mean? And for some (at least the Bastet) sprinting speed should be different from long-distance running/jogging/hiking speed. Movement speed should not be determined using the same formula for every animal and form.

Cats can sprint better than us but none of them, including cheetahs, have anything like our long-distance endurance. Even unburdened horses slow humans down over long distances - their value is more in carrying and pulling stuff. It also makes no sense - of all the animals Changing-Breeds can become, wolves are the ONLY ones that can cover long distances with the same kind of speed that humans can (which is why our nomadic ancestors domesticated them so much earlier than other animals). This results in Swara, for example, having ridiculous Dexterity modifiers in their non-homid forms. Right now it’s based solely on Dexterity, and calculated the exact same way for nearly every Breed’s animal form. My main request for the Changing-Breeds is to totally redo how movement speed is calculated. I will repeat what I said earlier about CB, in case it wasn’t seen since it was on the Croatan thread: A bit sad there are still no plans for Bunyip expansions or form stats, but there will be more room for the CB themselves here. Looks great! It’ll be interesting to have a PGttCB-sized writeup on Ajaba before Kisasi and the Ahadi. And that the modern day “Brown Hyena” is very close to becoming lost.Īlso giving Ajaba the optional flaw of “Entomophagy” to reflect that the Aardwolf is part of the Hyena family.Īnd having “Striped Hyena” Ajaba and what the Ajaba were doing in Greece and India (The Striped Hyena’s other main territories). In the past, there were hyenas that were the equivalent of modern day cheetahs, aka “Chasmaporthetes” (The Chasmaporthetes also managed to cross the land bridge into North America). And because werehyenas are associated with blacksmiths: Awesome fetishes and a tradition of fetish smiths/makers.Īlso lost sub-breeds/tribes of the Ajaba.

I would also like a section on about lost rites and gifts (Up to Level 4/5/6) if you wanted to run Ajaba characters before Black Tooth comes into the picture. I really liked the retcon writeup in PGttCB and hope that W20 CB sticks to that version more or at least updates it. I also don’t want to go back before the “retcon” and go back to the Ajaba from the Bastet Breed Book to have the so very common “Lion King” evil hyena hate-all-lions stereotype BS people have who don’t have a single clue what hyenas are really like. Hopefully, W20 Changing Breeds will correct this grievous error. You can only get that info online (Willpower 3 from Bastet Breed Book Missing Info) and not from any existing W:tA book.

But I’m confident that what we’ve got coming up for W20 is totally dynamite.Īnd the PGttCB, just like the Bastet book before it, forgot to add starting Ajaba PC Willpower. I’m keenly aware that Ethan is Werewolf to a lot of people, so I know I’ve got a lot to live up to. My name’s Stew Wilson, and I’m developing the supplements for W20, starting with Changing Breeds. Have a look at the outline and see what you think.Īs those of you who pay attention to usernames or writing styles can probably tell, I’m not Ethan. If it helps, Changing Breeds is to the Breedbooks and PGttCB what W20 is to much of the Werewolf line: a condensed and updated single source of information on all kinds of Fera. Changing Breeds goes above and beyond that, giving background, traits, and mechanics for all of the non-Garou shapeshifters in the World of Darkness. W20 marks the first Werewolf corebook that includes a section on the Changing Breeds, giving game information enough to create Storyteller characters. A lot of players have a lot of love for one or other Breed, myself included, and we knew that we couldn’t ignore the Changing Breeds in W20. The Fera have had a place in Werewolf since the first edition Player’s Guide, with Breedbooks, small sections in the Revised-era Storyteller’s Companion, and the Player’s Guide to the Changing Breeds. In addition to the Skinner SAS, we’ve got three new books in the pipeline.Ĭhanging Breeds is the first of those books. As those of you who’ve read the release schedule are no doubt aware, Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition is just the start. As we wait for Rich to finalize details of the Werewolf20 Kickstarter, it’s time to look to the future.
