Theriomorph Abilities (Fey)
A theriomorph (were-creature) is a human or supernatural being with the ability to change into an animal form at will. Those of fey origin are generally the product of the union of a changeling and an animal.
- Shape Change: A fey theriomorph's defining ability is that they can change their shape to that of a specific animal. Their mass remains the same when they change shape, so a 120 pound were-wolf will be a 120 pond wolf. A 120 were-rat would become a 120 pound rat!
- Fey theriomorphs only have two forms, human and animal. They do not have a hybrid form.
- Fey theriomorphs can only change their form into that of the beast type that was a parent of theirs. This alternate form does not change in appearance from one change to the next.
- Fey theriomorphs heal some damage when transforming between forms.
- A fey theriomorph can fully heal itself by transforming between human and animal form until they are fully healed.
- Transforming between forms takes time, much more than their changeling parent's nearly instantaneous transformation. Practice can make the change faster. Unskilled theriomorphs can take as much as 5 minutes to fully change. The most skilled theriomorphs still require 30 seconds to fully transform.
- Dual Reproduction: Fey theriomorphs can interbreed with humans or animals of the type that they can transform into. Offspring of a fey theriomorph and an animal results in a natural theriomorph. Offspring of a fey theriomorph and a human can result in a normal human or a fey theriomorph.
- Longevity: The blood of the fey gives fey theriomorphs a long life. They don't begin to show signs of aging until well into their thirties and can live for 150 to 200 years.
- Animal Senses: Fey theriomorphs have the enhanced (or suppressed) senses of their animal form even while in human form. A were-wolf would have an enhanced sense of smell, a were-hawk would have an enhanced sense of sight, a were-mole would have a poor sense of sight, etc.
- Weakness to Iron: The fey blood of the fey theriomorph makes them susceptible to iron weapons. They can touch iron just fine, but iron weapons inflict more damage on a fey theriomorph. The weapon needs to be solid iron to inflict more damage. Steel weapons so not do extra damage.
