Werewolves – Ability Tree & Rank Guide

• YouTube
• Bluesky

Werewolves don’t gain traditional skills — instead, they progress through ranks and unlock abilities via an Ability Tree. Each rank provides Ability Points, which can be spent to unlock powers, transformations, and unique werewolf gameplay features. You will need the Werewolves game pack.

Temperaments

Each werewolf also develops Temperaments, which are like permanent quirks shaping personality.
Examples include:

• Night Wolf – Prefers staying awake at night.
• Restless Animal – Needs to run or exercise often.
• Survival Instincts – More cautious and defensive.

Temperaments influence how Fury builds and create unique storytelling opportunities.
