Afflicted

Some ancestries are not handed down but caught, and the folk of Alora cannot agree whether to pity those who have them or to bar the door. Commonly they do both, in that order.

The afflicted are of three kinds. There is the one who was bitten, and keeps a wolf under the skin. There is the one born into the night's own family, for whom no cure is known. And there is the one who chose: who gave life itself for a deathless body and a great store of magic, and will not say whether the price was fair. They call it a gift as often as a curse. It depends on the hour at which they are asked.

Details

• Three ancestries, each with an entry of its own: Lycanthrope, Vampyr and Lich.
• The Vampyr and the Lich take the race category undead.
• The creator marks the Lycanthrope and the Vampyr as expert only: hard to play, and not for a first character.
