The Dragonborn will likewise receive a bounty if the transformation is witnessed by a citizen.

Members of any faction will non attack the Dragonborn in either humanoid or Werewolf course after joining, nor will a Hero of Sovngarde assail them.

Abilities [ ]

Skills, perks, spells and abilities as employ (or practise not apply) to the Werewolf:

Carry Weight: The base of operations carry weight gained from Beast Grade is i,900 regardless of level, race, or gender. To find the maximum carry weight in Beast Form, add i,900 to the max deport weight in normal form. This is a useful aspect to exploit every bit even if the Dragonborn is encumbered, transforming into Beast Form makes the encumbrance effect inactive, so one may comport a large amount of loot without being slowed past the effect. This can exist exploited further with Hircine's Band, every bit the Dragonborn is able to transform at will for the purpose of using the Fauna Form'southward increased conduct weight.
Illness resistance: All lycanthropes, in Werewolf class or not, accept 100% resistance to all diseases. In Skyrim, this is only true for Sanguinare Vampiris, while other diseases may (rarely) notwithstanding be caught.

Becoming a Werewolf [ ]

In Skyrim, the just manner to get a Werewolf is to consummate the quest line for the Companions of Jorrvaskr in Whiterun, upwardly until the quest "The Silver Hand." Within the Companions exists the Circle, an inner sub-faction. After some time, Skjor will pb the Dragonborn to The Underforge. There he will offer the opportunity to potable the blood of Aela the Huntress when she is in Werewolf grade, and become a Werewolf.

Note: With the add-on of Dawnguard, characters who already have the Vampire Lord power volition lose it at this signal, and it volition be replaced with Beast Course, and vice versa.

Animal Grade lasts approximately two and a half minutes, with merely one use per day. Unlike in Morrowind, one does not alter into a Werewolf at a fixed time, every bit it is a power. To be able to stay in Werewolf style for a prolonged period of time, 1 must "Feed" off fallen human characters, which adds 30 seconds to the electric current time per feeding, and also heal the Dragonborn. With Dawnguard installed, the Dragonborn can choose a perk that allows them to feed on almost any fallen opponent, although information technology just prolongs the duration for one-half of what feeding off of humanoid opponents gives. Once returned to normal form, all items volition take been unequipped and the Dragonborn will have to wait twenty-four hours to be able to use Brute Form again.

If the Dragonborn has obtained the Band of Hircine, equipping information technology volition let the employ of a separate power, "Ring of Hircine," which is identical to Brute Form and offers all the same benefits. The only difference is that information technology is non limited to once-a-twenty-four hour period use, information technology is made available any fourth dimension the Dragonborn equips the ring. Followers will not react to the Dragonborn's transformation. Due to the restrictions placed on Werewolves interacting with objects and characters, 1 will not be able to interact with a follower while transformed (on Xbox 360, one can bypass this by using Kinect commands). A follower will become hostile if hit while the character is in Beast Form, even if they are a companion.

Eorlund Gray-Mane volition defend the Dragonborn if they transform publicly in Whiterun.

Wild wolves get non-hostile when i is in Fauna Class, only wild Werewolves, added on past Dawnguard, will withal set on.

The Dragonborn tin can be killed while transforming, if facing a powerful plenty foe.
