Grand Wolf's Hide [CARD] (Patreon)

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

While attuned to this magic pelt, if your physical form would be altered by lycanthropy or a spell or ability (Wild Shape, Polymorph, Enlarge/Reduce, Form of the Beast, etc.), this item merges into your body empowering your new form. For the duration of your transformation, you gain the following additional traits:

Lupine Senses. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks involving sight, hearing, and smell, and advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track a creature. If your form would already have advantage on such checks you gain an additional +2 bonus to them instead.

Lycan Legs. You are considered to be under the effect of the Jump spell while transformed.

Ancestral Hide. You gain 10 temporary hit points at the start of your turn if you have at least 1 hit point as a mass of thick furred hide forms to cover your body. If you take damage from a silvered weapon, this trait doesn’t function at the start of your next turn.

Many think of werewolves and their kin as simplistic brutes, capable of no more than violence and succumbing to their most primal desires. Yet history shows what could be considered an evolved culture amongst these creatures, starting eons ago with the most ancient werewolves. They would take the flesh and bone of their own in reverence and fashion them into a cloak with magical properties, enhancing their already impressive physical abilities with it. Fearsome though a werewolf may be, one shudders to think what other animals may benefit even more greatly from the properties of the lupine.
