Winter Wolf Bloodline

Monstrous Affliction​

  • When you get afflicted by this curse you become imbued with the monstrous essence of the Owlbear.
  • The curse has a specific trigger, typically the occurrence of a full moon.
  • Upon rolling a natural 1 or natural 20, you automatically transform.
  • When transforming due to the trigger or a natural roll, you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw with a DC of 10 + your player level. Failure results in entering a rage, compelling you to attack the nearest creature as your sole action. You can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of your turns.

Curse Manifestations​

  • Monstrous Might: Your Strength score increases to 18 if it is not already higher.
  • Pack Tactics: You have advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
  • Winter Protection: You are immune to cold damage.
  • Keen Sight and Smell: In your humanoid form, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or smell.
  • Monstrous Trait: While under the influence of this curse, your ears are transformed into the ears of a winter wolf.
  • Cold Breath: Once per day you can exhale a blast of freezing wind in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
  • Winter Wolf Form: As a bonus action on your turn, you can transform into a winter wolf, adopting its stat block for 1 hour. Your hit points and Hit Dice remain unchanged. You can revert to your normal form as a bonus action on your turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. You revert to human form if your hit points drop to 0 or if you die.
