You transform into 'werewolf' for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are 'werewolf', and you can use your equipment.

Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2, your Dexterity is increased by 2, and your Perception is increased by 2. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

Your body is adapted to moving silently, sprinting, and tracking living things. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to moving silently, sprinting, and tracking living things.

Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.

After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

Whenever you enter Combat, roll Self-Control. If you fail, you cannot choose which targets to attack and cannot stop fighting until there are no targets remaining.

While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.
