	The Weren are a race of hulking, renaissance-era not-trolls that appeared as one of the core races in [[Alternity]]. They were later ported into [[d20 Modern]] in the [[d20 Future]] book, although they were not adapted for use in D&D. They're basically Alternity's answer to the Klingons.

	Frankly unable to contribute anything to the situation, the delegates of the Orlamu Theocracy simply made their existence known to the tribes, announced that they were explorers from beyond the world of Kurg, and that any Weren who wished to take their chances in the stars could seek them out. They set up an outpost in the remotest wastelands and played no further part in the events of the world.

			* '''Type:''' Giant
			* '''Size:''' Large. Weren take a -1 size penalty to Defense, a -1 size penalty on attack rolls, and a -4 size penality on hide checks. They gain a +4 size bonus on grapple checks. Their lifting and carrying limits are twice those of a medium size character. They must use two hands to wield a huge weeapon, and light weapons for them are medium size. Weren occupy a 5 foot by 5 foot fighting space and have a natural reach of 10 feet.
			* '''Ability Modifiers:''' +4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution
			* '''Armor Restrictions:''' A weren cannot wear armor designed for other species. Weren armor is larger and costs more than similar armor for a medium-size character. Increase the purchase DC of weren armor by +2. Weren cannot wield small or smaller weapons.
			* '''Claws:''' Weren have retractable claws that can be used in combat (extending or retracting claws is a free action). A weren can make one claw attack per round (or more if he has multiple attacks in a round). Each successful attack deals 1d6 points of lethal slashing damage plus the weren's strength modifier. A weren making a claw attack is considered armed and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
			* '''Low Light Vision (EX):''' A weren has low light vision. He can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
			* '''Natural Camouflage (EX):''' If a weren doesn't take more than a 5-foot step on his turn, he gains a +4 bonus on his hide checks (this bonus offsets the weren's -4 size penalty on hide checks).
