They often have mottled hair, usually grey with dark grey and black spots and patches, but a few have black hair with pale patches or white with darker patches.The dire werewolf presented here is based on a 1st-level half-orc warrior and natural lycanthrope, using the following base ability scores: Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8.COMBATIn dire wolf or hybrid form, a dire werewolf can trip just as a normal dire wolf does. A dire werewolf in hybrid form often dispenses with weapon attacks, though it can wield a weapon and use its bite as a secondary natural attack.Alternate Form (Su): A dire werewolf can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a dire wolf.Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): Any humanoid or giant hit by a dire werewolf’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.Trip (Ex): A dire werewolf in animal or hybrid form that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+13 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity.If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the werewolf.Wolf Empathy (Ex): Communicate with wolves and dire wolves, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against wolves and dire wolves.Skills: A dire werewolf has a +2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks.*A dire werewolf in hybrid or wolf form gains a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.Skill BreakdownHandle Animal 2, Hide 1, Intimidate 2, Listen 2, Move Silently 0, Spot 2, Survival 1Orcform: Str 15, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 8, Wis 11, Cha 6Handle Animal +0*, Hide +1**, Intimidate +0*, Listen +6, Move Silently +2, Spot +6, Survival +1** includes -2 armor check penaltyWereform: Str 29, Dex 15, Con 18, Int 8, Wis 11, Cha 6Str 15, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 8, Wis 11, Cha 6Handle Animal +0*, Hide -1, Intimidate +0*, Listen +6, Move Silently +4, Spot +6, Survival +1*</blockquote>
