Homebrew
The Path of the Blessed Beast is reserved for those who have been bitten or born with the curse but have refused to succumb to the madness. They view their rage as a holy sacrament. When they enter battle, their bones crack and reshape, their skin sprouts shimmering silver fur, and they hunt the enemies of the clan with a terrifying, silent focus. They are the clan's heavy shock troops, capable of tearing through steel doors and stone walls with bare claws.
