Concept - New expansion based on Native American Skinwalker (werewolf) legends. Will introduce the rules for monsters and how to create a pack (gang) of supernatural creatures, in addition to Artrillery for humans. Expansion will consist of 1 new human gang (based on monster hunters), 1 Monster Pack, in addition to several human hired guns and monsters.

Unlike humans, monsters do not have individual characters except for the leader (Alpha), all monsters of a certain race/type will have the same stats and abilities. There are 5 different types of Supernatural Creature, depending upon XP. Alpha (pack leader 100xp), Fiend (75xp), Beast (50xp), Varmint (25xp) and Monsters (like Hired Guns 100xp). Fiends, like Professionals, will have special abilities and +1 to an attribute. Beasts are basically henchmen and 2 Varmints count as 1 henchmen for the purposes of gang/pack creation.

A special ability for all supernatural creatures is they may always run & attack as if they have the "Run & Gun" skill. Very few creatures have ranged attacks, so this is to make up for all of the guns people have. Werebats and Mothmen can fly but not run, moving up to 12" and ignoring any obstacles in their path. Werewolves are the most common, thus the Skinwalker starter is just werewolves, other werebeasts will be added via support packs or solo monsters.

New Professions:

Monster Hunter: +1 Strength, -1 bonus to hit supernatural creatures.
Engineer: +1 Intellect, able to use unique weapons, -1 to target number when fixing broken machines or artillery. -1 to hit when firing artillery.

Starter sets:
Unsung - Monster hunter gang leader, engineer, gunslinger & 2 henchmen
Skinwalkers - Werewolf Alpha, 2 werewolves (fiends), 2 chupacabras (beasts)

Support Packs:
Unsung Scouting Party - Prospector, 2 henchmen
Unsung Medical Team - Doctor, 2 henchmen
Skinwalker Mothman - Mothman (fiend), 2 Armadillodon (beast)
Skinwalker Stalkers - WerePuma (fiend), 2 Splintercats (beast)

Hired Guns: Slayers - Ashford Campbell, Samuel Manchester, Dean Manchester

Monsters: (sold separately)
Sasquach
Jersey Devil

Varmints: (sold separately)
Jackalopes (set of 4)
Fangworms (set of 4)

Other werebeasts: Werebat (like Bram Strokers Dracula), WereCroc, WereBison (minotaur)

Supernatural Creatures

In the core Blackwater Gulch game, every member of every gang is a human being. They may freely join up with other humans who may be affiliated with other gangs, even of those gangs might sometimes be enemies. They all belong to the Human race, and your gang may include any number of humans you wish.

Now, with Wrath of the Skinwalker, we introduce a whole new race to the game, and in most cases they cannot be mixed together. This new race is known simply as Supernatural.

Supernatural creatures are often found in remote areas of the world, far away from the prying eyes (and pitchforks) of human beings. These creatures band together into packs, often lead by the biggest and strongest of them all, known as an Alpha. An Alpha creature works the same way as a human Gang Leader, it has 100 XP along with attributes and skills to match. Supernatural packs also consist of Fiends, which have 75 XP and a special ability similar to a human Professional. Next are the beasts, who have 50 XP and function much the same way as human Henchmen. Lastly, Supernatural packs will often have many Varmints scurrying about, which are weaker creatures that have 25 XP.

You will create a pack of supernaturals much the same way as you would create a human gang, with the only difference being they do not have guns and other weapons the way a human would. Instead, many posess special attacks like a venomous bite, tail swipe or the ability to hurl large boulders.

When you create your pack, the first think you should do is select an Alpha as your leader and raise his attributes accordingly, give him his skills and special attacks. Next, select a few Fiends to provide some specialized creatures, followed by beasts and varmints. Like human gangs, half of your pack must be made up of Beasts and Varmints, not including the leader. Furthermore, for the purposes of gang creation, 2 varmints will count as 1 beast. Like human gangs, each pack must contain at least 5 models. For example, if your pack begins with an Alpha and 2 Fiends, you will need add 2 beats, or 4 varmints, or 1 beast and 2 varmints.


Skinwalkers

Skin-walkers are people that have been cursed to live part of their lives as animals. In the old world, this condition was known as Lycanthropy, with werewolves being the most common. In the new world, they are known to most Native American tribes Skinwalkers.

The Skinwalker curse is passed on to other humans by bite. Like a virus, anyone bitten by a Skinwalker and lives, becomes a Skinwalker himself. There are many native and religious rituals and talismans said to hold back the curse, for a time a least. If left untreated, the victim will often become a cannibalistic within a month's time, consumed by a hunger that only warm, living flesh can satisfy. The more he feeds on raw flesh and blood, the stronger he becomes, and the stronger the curse takes hold. Soon, he leaves all traces of his former human life behind as the beast takes hold, transforming him into a hybrid mockery of a man and his animal aspect. Once turned, there is no going back.

Every Skin-walker has an aspect - the type of animal they become. Bears, bats and wolves are the most common, but there is as much variety among skinwalkers as there are among any animal of the wild. Skin-walkers are humanoid and walk upright on two legs, though they resemble their aspect animal, along with hands and feet often turning into claws or talons.

In games, a Skin-walker gains an attribute bonus and a special ability that counts as a mandatory skill based upon their animal aspect. If their Intellect is high enough, they may learn additional skills as normal. Skin-walker's clawed hands are treated like two 1-handed melee weapons, and in addition many of them posess special attacks which work the same as a human would use a weapon.

Skin-walker Aspects:

Bear: +1 Strength
Crushing Blow - In melee combat, every roll of 6 to hit lowers the target's DP by 1.
An Alpha Bear gains the Knock Back attack for free, as he charges his enemies and sends them flying backward.

Crocodile: +1 Stamina
Thick Skinned - Thick lizard scales repel all but the strongest attacks. The Skin-walker gains +1 DP against any attacks of Str 4 or lower.
An Alpha Croc gains the Grapple attack for free, as he holds onto his prey and spins them around.

Wolf: +1 Intellect
Pack Hunter - When attacking in melee combat, a wolf gains +1 D6 to hit for each friendly within 2".
An Alpha Wolf gains the Jugular Bite attack for free, as he tries to rip the throat from his victims.

Hawk: +1 Strength, Flying
Bird of Prey - Hawks swoop down on their prey, if they enter melee combat after flying, they gain +1 MC for their first attack.
An Alpha Hawk gains the Blinding attack for free, as he pecks and claws at his opponent's eyes.

Bat: +1 Stamina, Flying
Radar Sense - A can always sense what's going on around him, and enemies never receive a bonus when attacking him from behind.
An Apha Bat gains the Deafening Screech attack for free, to disorients his oppoenents.

Moth: +1 Quickness, Flying
Cocoon - A moth can spin a cocoon around their enemies. A cocooned model is trapped in place and cannot move unless it breaks free on their activation, making a strength roll with a target # of 4.
An Alpha Moth gains the Dark Omen attack for free, spreading doom and despair to the enemies around him.

Beasts earn special skills as their Attributes increase, the same way humans do. These are listed in brief on a model's Character Card and also detailed below. Like humans, a beast may have an amount of skills equal to or under its Intellect Attribute.

Strength Skills:
4: Bestial Strength - Your opponent must reroll one successful D6 from his saving throw in melee combat.
6: Trample - The beast may trample opponents if he runs or sprints, using the trampling rules as horses.

Quickness Skills:
4: Sprint - The beast may run incredibly fast over open ground. Instead of running normally, it may roll 2D6 and add them together for its running distance. The beast may not enter melee combat if it sprints, even if it is Supernatural.
6: Danger Sense - The model gains +1 Defense. This will already be added to the attribute on a model's Character Card.

Stamina Skills:
4: Thick Skinned - The model may reroll 1D6 from a failed saving throw.
6: Bestial Vigor - The model gains +1 Health. This will already be added to the attribute on a model's Character Card.

Intellect Skills:
4: Fearless - The beast gets -1 to its target number when making a morale roll.
6: Cunning - The beast may posess abilities 1 level higher than its RC or MC Attribute without a penalty. For example, a beast with a MC of 3 can use abilities as high as level 4.

Ranged Combat Skills:
4: Empowered - Ranged abilities may add +1D6 to range.
6: Weaponbeast - May use 2 ranged Abilities per turn, 2nd Ability at +1 to hit.

Melee Combat Skills:
4: Vicious - The beast may use 2 melee Abilities per turn, 2nd Ability at +1 to hit.
6: Frenzied - The beast may charge into melee combat, and attack after running or sprinting if it ends it's movement in an enemy's personal space. If the Beast is Supernatural, it will have no to hit penalty from running or sprinting.

Many beasts posess special Abilities and powers that set them apart from mortal men. Like human weapons & equipment, Beast's abilities are ranked by level and choosing an ability will add XP to the Beast's total. For example, a Familair with one level 3 Ability will add have an XP of 78.

There are 3 types of abilities: Ranged Abilities, Melee Abilities and General Abilities. Ranged Abilities may only be used as a Ranged Combat attack and are treated as thrown attacks, using the Beast's strenth plus 1D6 to determine range. Melee Abilities apply to Melee Combat attacks. General Abilities are something a beast is always able to do, no roll is needed.

The Strength of each attack is based on the Beast's Strength attribute, and is modified by some abilities. Abilities that add to a beast's strength may not be combined. For example, a beast may not have a Powerful Strike and Rend & Tear, but it can have a Powerful Strike along with Venom Spit.

An Alpha may have 4 abilites, consisting 1 special ability for their animal form and 3 chosen below. A Monster may have up to 3 abilities, a Feind may have 2, a Familiar may have 1 and Varmints have none. Beasts may use only 1 combat or Alpha ability per turn, unless otherwise noted.

Melee Combat Abilities

1. Leaping Strike - Attack models 2" away.
2. Vicious Bite - +1 str, melee only
3. Ferocious Swipes - Add +1D6 to hit
4. Powerful Strike - +2 str, melee only
5. Slam - target knocked back D6". Treat as falling damage if it comes in contact with terrain or another model
6. Rend & Tear - +3 Str, melee only.

Ranged Combat Abilities:

1. Musk Spray - Target that fails to save will run 1D6" away from the Beast, but is otherwise unharmed and may be activated normally.
2. Venom Spit - +1 str, ranged only
3. Spine Shooter - Double str for range

4. Burrowing - This beast may burrow underground in it's movement phase, and it ends it's activation.

Wolf

The most common Skinwalker animal aspect, Werewolves are intelligent and cunning hunters. Tall, strong and vicious pack hunters, they often work together to bring down a foe. If you see only one Werewolf, chances are a whole pack is watching you from the shadows.

Werewolves have +1 Intellect, already added to their Attributes. Werewolves often hunt in packs, thus when attacking in melee combat, a werewolf gains +1 D6 to hit for each friendly model in its personal space.

An Alpha Werewolf also possesses the Throat Ripper Ability - this special attack gains +1D6 to hit and +1 Strengh. Targets taken out of action from this attack cannot be healed.

Bear

Incredibly territorial hunters, Werebears are renowned for their strength and ferocity. Their imposing size and thick hide make them a formidable foe, and have been known to crush their victims into a bloody pulp with power claw-like fists.

Werebears have +1 Strength, already added to their Attributes. They use their massive size and power to deliver crushing blows to their enemies, thus in melee combat, every roll of 6 to hit lowers the target's DP by 1.

An Alpha Werebear has the Bear Hug Ability - in melee combat, when his target makes a saving throw, each unsaved D6 will remove 1HP, instead of just losing 1 HP per attack. For example, if the Alpha Werebear rolled 3 successful hits, and his opponent only managed to save 1, he will lose 2 HP from the attack.

Birds

Dwelling in treetops and mountains, Werehawks often lead a solitary and independent existance, often living alone or in small packs. Though not capable of true flight like a normal bird, they are able to jump and glide, often attacking from above with talloned fingers that slash and tear their prey to bits.

Werebirds have +1 Stamina, already added to their Attributes. They swoop down on their prey, and if they enter melee combat after flying, they gain +1 MC for their first attack.

An Alpha Werebird has the Eye Gouge Ability - in melee combat he will attempt to slash or peck out the eyes of his prey. If a target is wounded from the attack but not out of action, it will lose 1 point of RC for the remainder of the game.

Insects

Portents of doom and chaos, a Werebugs bring death and despair wherever they go. Their thick, chitinous hide protects them from weaker blows, while their spiked, clawed hands can rip flesh from bones with ease.

Werebugs have +1 Quickness, already added to their Attributes. A Werebug is able to capture his victims in a cocoon, trapping in place. A cocooned target move or attack unless it breaks free on its activation, making a strength roll with a target # of 4.

An Alpha Werebug has the Dark Omen Ability - He is counted as 2 models for the purposes of outnumbering in morale and melee combat. Additionally, no human Gamblers or Gang Leaders may use lucky dice to an attack or save against an Alpha Weremoth.

* Though birds and bugs, may have wings, they cannot use them to fly unless they purchase the Flying Ability.

I think werebug sounds kinda silly, so I'll have to think up another name.. but here's what I have now

Then, instead of being like a separate faction, you could build any character to be able to become a were-something,

 Necros wrote:
Only thing is it would mean the Skinwalker starter set would have more models .. and cost more. It would be 8 models vs the usual 5.

But then we could do support packs for other animal forms, still just 3 models. So you'd have a werebear + human form, and then 1 familiar, instead of 1 professional and 2 henchmen like normal humans.

...but a normal gang leader could have mundane things like wolves or whatever.

One other thing though.. would it be better to have something like a werewolf starter set come with werewolves & critters? Or werewolves and human henchmen, fluffed up as folks who were recently tuned but can't transform yet?

Special Rules

Transformation - A Skinwalker may begin the game as a man or beast. He may change forms at will, as long as the animal is not consumed with Bloodlust, but this is a painful often time consuming process. Thus, to transform, a Skinwalker must give up his activation for the transformation to take hold, and then he may act as normal in the following game turn. All Skinwalkers gain +1 MC when they transform into their animal aspect.

Bloodlust - If a Skinwalker takes an enemy out of action in melee combat while in animal form, it will be overcome with Bloodlust and unable to transform back to his human form for the rest of the game.

Feral Attacks - In animal form, a Skinwalker's clawed hands are treated like two 1-handed melee weapons (meaning they may attack twice per activation), and in addition many of them possess special abilities which work the same as a human would use a weapon. A Skinwalker may not use human weapons in animal form, just tooth and claw, but many posess special attacks and abilities.

Supernatural - Supernatural creatures have special abilities and talents that normal animals do not possess. They have been cursed by dark forces, or simply walk closer to the spirit world than morals. All Supernatural creatures are immortal, they will never age or die of natural causes, but can be killed in a variety of ways. All Supernatural creatures are faster than mortal creatures and thus are always able to attack after running, with a +1 to their target number to hit, exactly like the human Run & Gun skill.

Animal Aspects - The types of Skinwalker animal aspects is as varied as the animal world itself. There are wolves, bears, birds, cats, bats, rats, bugs, lizards, and many more. Each animal aspect will grant attribute bonuses and special skills that a Skinwalker may use while in animal form. Essentially, a Skinwalker's animal aspect is treated like a character's profession in game terms.

Werewolves

The most common Skinwalker animal aspect, Werewolves are intelligent and cunning hunters. Tall, strong and vicious pack hunters, they often work together to bring down a foe. If you see only one Werewolf, chances are a whole pack is watching you from the shadows.

Werewolves gain +1 to Intellect, already added to their Character Card. Werewolves gain the Pack Hunter ability - when attacking in melee combat, a werewolf gains +1 D6 to hit for each friendly model in their personal space.

An Alpha Werewolf also possesses the Throat Ripper Ability - this is a special attack that gains +1D6 to hit and +1 Strengh. Targets taken out of action from this attack cannot be healed.

Wearbears

Incredibly territorial hunters, Werebears are renowned for their strength and ferocity. Their imposing size makes them a formidable foe, and have they been known to crush their victims into a bloody pulp with powerful bear-claw fists.

Werebears gain +1 Strength, already added to their Character Card. Werebears gain the Pummeling ability - in melee combat, every roll of 6 to hit lowers the target's DP by 1.

An Alpha Werebear also has the Bear Hug Ability - in melee combat, when his target makes a saving throw, each unsaved D6 will remove 1HP, instead of just losing 1 HP per attack. For example, if the Alpha Werebear rolled 3 successful hits, and his opponent only managed to save 1, he will lose 2 HP from the attack.

Werebirds

Often dwelling in treetops and mountains, Werebirds often lead a solitary and independent existance, often living alone or in small packs. Though not capable of true flight like a normal bird, they are able to jump and glide, often attacking from above with talloned fingers that slash and tear their prey to bits.

Werebirds gain +1 Stamina, already added to their Character Card. They have the Swoop ability - if they enter melee combat after flying, they gain +1 MC for their first attack.

An Alpha Werebird has the Eye Gouge ability - in melee combat he will attempt to slash or peck out the eyes of his prey. If a target is wounded from the attack but not out of action, it will lose 1 point of RC for the remainder of the game.

* Though werebirds may have wings, they cannot use them to fly unless they purchase the Flying Ability.

Werecats

One of the most cunning predators, werecats are known to stalk and ambush their victims often using bating tactics or trickery. They often inhabit mountainous areas, with razor-sharp retractible claws that help them to climb or slash with ease.

Werecats have +1 Quickness, already added to their Character Card. Werecats have the Sure Footed ability - They always land on their feet and may jump or fall any distance without being hurt. Additionally, they may also climb vertical walls, trees or rocks as if they are stairs.

An Alpha Werecat has the 9 Lives ability - If taken out of action, a werecat may immediately roll to heal itself, the same way a doctor would heal a fallen gang member. If successful, the cat will stand back up immediately. If the Alpha Werecat is taken out again, its target number to heal goes up by 1. If a healing roll is ever failed, it will stay down for the remainder of the game.

Beast Packs

You may choose an Alpha Skinwalker as your Gang Leader, and if an Alpha leads your gang is considered a Beast Pack. Like a human, the Alpha has a base of 100 XP along with attributes and skills to match. In his human form, he may have weapons just like any other human, and he will have 2 Supernatural Abilities that may only be used in animal form. An Alpha is also able to transform faster, his transformation process will replace his movement, allowing him to run or attack or perform any other action afterwards, in the same activation. Assitionally, if an Alpha is your leader, all other Skinwalkers in the Beast Pack will benefit from faster transformation as well.

Your Beast Packs also consist of other Skinwalkers, which have a base of 75 XP and a special skill based on their animal form, similar to human Professional skills, and they may use weapons and Supernatural Abilities just like your Alpha. A Skinwalker may have 1 Supernatural Ability.

The remainder of your gang will be made up of human henchmen. These are men and women who have recently been turned, and have joined the pack for protection and guideace. They have no Animal Affinity and are not Supernatural (yet).

Skinwalkers and Alpha Skinwalkers may join a human gang, they are treated just like a human Hired Gun, meaning you must have at least 5 models in your gang before you may add 1 any Skinwalker. Just as Skinwalkers can fight with humans, human Professionals and Gang Leaders may also join a beast pack and are also considered Hired Guns.

Monsters

There are many other strange and terrible monsters living out in the wilds, such as the Sasquach or Hodag. They may join Beast Packs to fight for food, or just for the thrill of the hunt. These are strong creatures, and like human Hired Guns, have a base of 100 XP, and you may have 1 Monster in your Pack for every 5 models. Also, like humans, a second Alpha Skinwalker can be counted as a Monster, however you must designate which Alpha will actually be leading your Beast Pack and be sure your opponent is aware. Monsters will only follow a Skinwalker Alpha, never a human gang leader.

Critters

There are also many small creatures that may join a Beast Pack, such as the Chupacabra or Cactus Cat. Though most are solitary, nocturnal hunters, the call of an Apha Beast is difficut for any wild or supernatural creature to ignore. Critters have a base of 50 XP and are considered henchmen for the purposes of gang and pack creation.

I figured it would be better to just treat a skinwalker like another profession, so Wilt Clancy won't turn into a weresnake one day, but there could be a weresomething fighting with the Clancy Gang one day.

There werebear's -DP is just for that attack.. so he attacks someone and then when they go to make their save they have -1DP, but if the target lives and someone shoots at him next, then he'll be back at his normal DP for that other attack.

And yeah the idea was you could have a shooty mode and a melee mode, but with the penalty that it takes a full turn to change between the two (except for Alphas) and also there's no Bounty Hunter or Gunslinger skinwalkers, you're basically just like a henchman with more xp when you're not in were-mode.

I definitely would like to see gangs with a lot of variety. There's no real reason not to mix werewolves and werecats, other than theme or fluff. One thing I was thinking though is maybe kind of like how human leaders share a skill with the rest of their gang, maybe an Alpha can share a stat bonus with others of his type. That's how I was going to handle the MC bonus at first, so a werewolf alpha would give +1 MC to all other werewolves, but not werebears. I figured it would be more fitting though if all skinwalkers got a MC bonus.

I was thinking the cats would be like pumas and mountain lions, but the alpha would be like a sabertooth just to make em look cool.

 Necros wrote:
It could be cool but I don't know if I want to give Skinwalkers weapons.. I wanted them to be more savagey, kinda like the lycans in Underworld.

Bolas - Level 1
Str: M
Thrown, Primitive
If target fails saving throw they will be unharmed, but unable to move or run on their next activation.

Bow - Level *
Str - M - Short Range: Mx2 - Long Range: Mx4
Primitive
A bow's range is determined by the users Strength, multipled by 2 for short range and 4 for long range. For example, at Str 3 your short range will be 6" and long range will be 12"
* As the Strength of the user can change the weapon's stats, the level for a Bow will be the same as the user's Strength Attribute.

LeMatt Pistol - Level 3
Str 3 - Short Range: 8" - Long Range: 15"
Repeater, Pistol

Smithfield Rotating Rifle - Level 4
Str 4 - Short Range: 5" - Long Range: 9"
Shotgun, Repeater, Complex

Lloyd Arms Repeating Long Range Rifle - Level 5
Str 4 - Short Range: 18" - Long Range: 30"
Longarm, Repeater, Complex

Hand Cannon - Level 6
Str 4 - Short Range: 8" - Long Rang: 15"
Shotgun, Explosive, Complex


Complex Weapons - Engineers tend to design overly complicated weapons and devices that only they know how to use properly. If a weapon is listed as Complex, it may only be fired normally by Enginners. Other professions may use them, but they will have a -1 RC or MC modifier depending on the type of weapon, and all dice need to roll a 6 to hit.

Primitive Weapons - These are more simple or traditional weapons, used by natives and Skinwalkers alike.
