Child of Ulric
‘Child of Ulric’ is a term used throughout the Empire for a
Human capable of assuming the form of a wolf, either wholly
or partially. Most are able to transform into terrifying hybrids,
creatures with powerful fury bodies and snarling canine heads
that yet walk upon two legs.
The nature of such creatures is not clear, but most people in the Empire regard them as abominations of Chaos. The cult of Sigmar is firm in these beliefs, and Witch Hunters strive to eradicate them. Yet these abilities are often passed down through generations, which is unusual behaviour for mutations. Rarely found in southern lands, the creatures are less scarce in the north where folk traditions tell that they are blessed by Ulric. In isolated woodland communities they may live among Human neighbours as wild protectors.
But it is undeniable that Chaotic corruption can cause or exacerbate lycanthropy, and even those Children of Ulric who reside amongst Humans can struggle to control the violent bloodlusts that afflict them during their transformations. Even those who otherwise suggest that Children of Ulric be free from persecution do well to give them a wide berth.
There is no set profile for a Child of Ulric. The GM must create a Human character and then decide on the degree to which they manifest their abilities. Some Children of Ulric transform wholly into wolves (see WFRP, page 317). Those who are able to transform into hybrids make the following alterations to their profiles when they do so. The GM can also decide if any Skills or Traits the character had as a Human are retained in their hybrid form.
