Age Range:  18 - 250. The older a therianthrope gets, the more aged they will appear.  The ‘old age’ tops out at 500, but by then, a therianthrope is a literal old person at the end of their lifespan.  250 is middle-aged.

Inherent Panthera Powers

These are the powers that everyone gets the moment they choose a type at the Civilian rank. They are specific to a type, so no two types get the same abilities, though some may seem similar. Each one will scale up as you gain ranks.

 

Psychic Resistance: Throughout history, Panthera are known as mystical beings in some way, shape, or form. Legends tell of civilizations that worshipped Panthera as gods, others speak of Panthera being guardians of the underworld, or being capable of warding off evil spirits.  Whatever the case, it is known that Panthera possess an innate resistance to spiritual influences, which makes them much more difficult to manipulate via magic or otherwise.  This resistance is possibly one of the reasons so few have been known to succumb to influences of other races. [Panthera receives +2 to Willpower bonus.]

 

 

Active SubType Powers

The powers in this list are advanced powers that can begin to be chosen at the Civilian rank. They are also specific to each type of Therianthrope. If one of these powers is not chosen, there are alternatives on the Advanced Powers page that can be chosen from as well.

Razor Claws: Far more proficient with their natural weapons rather than conventional weapons, whenever the Panthera is engaged in Unarmed Combat, they gain +1 Edge to be used as a second attack against the same Target.  This Edge may not be pooled, and if it is not used, it is lost upon ending Turn.
