Plague weres are a special curse upon the planet brought forth by certain particularly"blessed" priests. These are priests belonging to a god of disease and poisons.

   These poor creatures are created through a fast acting lycanthropy disease. The disease is passed into food or water through a modified purify food and water spell.

   Plague weres exist only to kill and eat. They are bound to serve the one who created them however. Whatever intelligence they used to have is destroyed and they operate on a near animal level. They will attack anything in their path only retreating when pain overwhelms their killer instinct.

Note: Unlike normal werewolves, plague weres never change back to a human shape even after death.

Special Abilities: Plague Weres can leap up to 20' across or 10' up with no running room. They have exceptional sense of smell, also those bitten by a plague were may become infected if they do not make a CON check at -1 for every damage point taken. they can trip as werewolf MM221.

Special Defenses:Plague Weres have the same defenses as Werewolves, immunity to normal weapons (2E only) or a DR of 15 (3E).
