On Wolves

On Wolves

HP: 3, ARMOR 6, ATT+1

Wolves in the Borderlands are common. They roam the forests in packs. While the North American wolves might be known to be afraid of humans in general, the European wolves are bigger and meaner than that and have been known to attack humans when hungry. 

In the Borderlands, the strange and chaotic forces that permeate this area sometimes changes things about the wolves and make them strange.

The chance of this alteration occurring will depend on how much of a foothold chaos has on the lands. I suggest starting with a 1/6 chance, triggering on a 6, adding +1 to each time ‘regular’ wolves are rolled. And add a +1 for each rank of a foothold Chaos has on the lands.

The Wolves of the Borderland might…

1. Talk and understand humans. They know to use this to attract prey.

2. Leave ashen paw prints that remain warm to the touch for a night and a day.

3. Have a howl that makes you think your feet suddenly sink into the ground and are stuck. 


Roll DANGER +WIL or be paralyzed with fear for a round.

4. Have the ability to grow to the size of cows.

Double HP, +1 to ATTACK

5. Be ridden by kobolds wanting to cause mischief of the deadly kind. 

They will use their own devious skills to make fighting harder, like riding with a line of rope between them to try and trip up people, shooting arrows that might paralyze or put you to sleep, etc.

6. Have the ability to breathe a cloud of mist, making ranged attacks on them harder, forcing people to have to go hand to hand, or to make it easier for them to flee.
