Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 5465733" data-attributes="member: 40413">Stacking of abilities is one of the things I need to check out thoroughly.The rough idea is that an ancestor (grandfather or great grandfather) was a celebrated witch hunter.  He hunted down one of the most powerful witches in Ustalav at the time and fought through her guardian pack of wolves killing them all.  The witch cursed him as she died that he and eight generations of his descendants would be haunted/possessed by the angry spirits of her wolves.The witch hunter's behavior changed: he developed a taste for blood and would fly into rages.  Realizing what was happening to him he walked into the lake surrounding his manor and drowned himself leaving his wife and young son to survive without him.The son (my character's father) grew up dark and moody of temperament, distinguished himself in several battles and acquired a knighthood for himself much like his father.  Aside from the moodiness life was fairly normal and he married and had children.  He snapped, killed his family (with the exception of my character who survived the attack) with his bare hands and teeth then threw himself off the battlements.  His liege adopted the pc.PC grew up and eventually returned to the ancestral home where he is atttempting to find a way to void the curse.  Divine magic has failed so he is delving into darker alchemies to control the dark moods.  Not very successfully, though.The shapeshifting and mutagens are supposed to represent the manifestation of the curse, mutagens and extracts his attempt to control it.  He won't like witches or lycanthropes (to close to his own curse) or wolves.</blockquote>
