Change Shape, Lesser (Su): A worgen may assume his or her former human form as a standard action, or revert back to true form as a free action at any time. This human form is static and cannot be changed each time it is taken. In that human form, a worgen gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to appear human. This ability otherwise functions as alter self, except that worgen do not adjust their ability scores and can remain in human form indefinitely. (3 RP)

Test of True Form: Whenever a worgen takes damage while assuming or inhabiting human form by means of his or her Lesser Change Shape racial trait, that worgen must succeed at a concentration check as if casting alter self or instantly revert back to true form. That concentration check may use any mental ability modifier and the effective caster level of his or her Lesser Change Shape ability. To figure the DC of any such check, each point of ability damage or drain, and each negative level a worgen suffers, is considered 4 hit point damage. (–2 RP?)

Languages: Worgen begin play speaking Common and any single human language. Worgen with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Aklo, Aquan, Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Sylvan, Undercommon.

Alternate Racial Traits
