Reigne's Werecreature Nature

Reigne can take the form of a crow and several forms between. The specific forms are explained later. It takes 1 partial action per shift and you must shift through each form unless you let your Beast loose (explained later). Doing so cost 1 beastial but allows you to shift directly to any form as a partial action. Werecreatures must make a roll to shift every form. However, spending a Beastial removes the necessity for a roll as well. Werecreatures have an additional skill called shifting. It is considered to be a nonclass skill.
You may shift one body part but that requires a difficulty 18 skill roll.
Corax have a species gift. You are capable of using that Gift in any form. As a Corax you have uncanny control of your vocal cords and may imitate voices and sounds you have heard. Roll Will + Mimicry (To imitate a voice is difficulty 20 - 1/time the voice has been heard minimum difficulty 12, difficulties of sounds vary widely and some simply aren't possible).
Werecreatures heal incredibly quickly. They heal normal wounds at a rate 1 hit point per combat turn. Aggrevated wounds (magical damage, silver, and some other pure elements as well as holy charged items, fire, and claws of some supernatural creatures do aggrevated damage) heal at a rate of 1 per hour.
A werecreature is long lived (approximately triple each age category).
Elves, half-elves, fairies and dragons cannot become werecreatures due to a conflict in nature. Most other supernaturally produced creatures cannot also be a werecreature (examples: vampire, mummy, lich, skeleton). Other types of creature may be excluded on a case by case basis.
Werecreatures possess Beastial much like a vampire though it means some slightly different things.
Werecreatures can lose control of their Beast and Frenzy.
Corax claws and beak do aggrevated damage to any creatures they attack

Beastial
The Beast is considered only by its negative trait.

The Permanent Beastial rating is how strongly the Beast has control over a character. The higher one's permanent Beastial rating the further one has succumbed to
the Beast. This means the more animalistic, instinctive, passionate and unpredictable one is.
The only creatures who possess permanent Beastial are werecreatures, vampires, and ghouls.
As a characteristic, permanent beastial ranges from 0 to 10. Vampires and werecreatures start with a Beastial rating of 1. If a creature's beastial ever reaches 11
then the character is lost only the Beast remains. It isn't completely impossible to regain one's self.

Temporary Beastial ranges from 1 to 5. Each time the character gains a 5 in temporary beastial their permanent beastial goes up 1 and their temporary beastial
returns to 0.

The effects where relevant are as follows:

Werecreatures take d4 extra points of damage from holy objects per 2 points of permanent Beastial.
Werecreatures may willingly add a point of temporary beastial to do an entire shift as a free action.
Rolls to resist frenzy are 3 higher per point of Beastial.
A character may use Beastial to induce a frenzy. The character rolls Wisdom + Beastial (DC 12). When enducing frenzy the character adds their Beastial rating +2 to all physical attributes. However, this adds 1 to their temporary Beastial rating. The character has limited control over themselves though they cannot engage in conversation, or any complex strategy. They can engage in limited combat strategy. The induced frenzy lasts for d10 turns and at the end of it the character is weakened (subtract 4 from all physical attributes). The character may come out willingly by rolling Wisdom + Beastial d10 difficulty 15.
The Beast is also a highly instinctual entity and the character can tap into those instincts. This will add Beastial rating to any (nonsocial nonintellectual storyteller discresion) perception rolls.
The Beast also affects how well a character can pass for human. The Beastial rating affects the character's Charisma see the table below for the maximum Charisma If the character's Charisma is higher than the maximum Charisma lower the Charisma to that level (no resistance roll automatic) Also the Beast starts affecting the character's actions when over 3 (see chart below).

Gaining and Losing Bestial
Beastial is fairly standardized as for as how it is gained. A permanent point of beastial is only gained by gaining five temporary beastial. Temporary beastial is gained
by several different methods. A character gains temporary points of beastial by:

spending beastial to frenzy gives the character 1 temporary beastial
spending beastial to shift automatically gives the character 1 temporary beastial.
frenzying unwillingly adds 3 temporary beastial
failing a roll to control your passions adds 1 temporary beastial
at storyteller discresion when the character is being particularly uncontrolled.

Note a character should never gain enough Beastial in one action to gain a permanent point of Beastial. Temporary beastial is removed from the character sheet at a rate of 1/day.

Beastial Rating	Maximum Charisma	Effect
1-3	18, 17,16	No discernable affect
4	14	The character has developed some nervous mannerisms and is seen as "fidgety"
5	12	The character is subject to sudden mood changes and is more tempermental and is easily moved by emotion
6	10	The character becomes more prone to violence and instinct. The character will feel a need to engage in activites that involve confrontation and opposition on a regular basis.
7	8	The character is starting to become dangerous to be around, his mood swings are highly unpredictable. He is prone to moments of "accidental" cruelty when the opportunity arises. Sometimes his actions are purely instinct
8	6	The character's interest in violence is strongly developed. The charcter tends to feel a strong need to engage in activites that involve confrontation and opposition almost daily.
9	4	The character's passion for violence is almost complete. At this level the character would be considered to be sociopathic. This does not necessarily mean that he will break the rules bue he has lost all respect for them as rules. The character may also be overwhelmed for short periods that they do not remember. During these times the character will sate their needs for violence.
10	3	All concerns but those considered most fundimental to the character are forgotten and they spend most of their time revelling in violence and death. They engage in violent and irrelevent killings around the area.
11	0	The character is the Beast or rather the Beast is the character. Nothing remains of the character. The Beast is pure instinct and passion. the character can only speak in rare moments and even these will be gutteral Beastly things. Most at this level are killed either by their own kind or by other intelligent beings to protect just about anybody living. The Beast can access all former skills, feats and class abilities and may continue to learn other appropriate skills and feats. All class advancement ceases. The Beast is considered to be in a state of Frenzy at all times except in their short times of lucidity and gains all advantages of being in Frenzy

Corax specific notes.

Species Gift
The wereraven has uncanny control of their vocal cords and may imitate voices and sounds they have heard. Roll Will + Mimicry (To imitate a voice is difficulty 20 - 1/time the voice has been heard minimum difficulty 12, difficulties of sounds vary widely and some simply aren't possible). This does mean that they can speak in any form by using mimicry.
