Taryn is a werewolf, so she towers at seven feet tall with a thick, furred hide, sharp fangs and claws when in her werewolf form. She fights with a very direct style, typically using a large two-handed sword that she can wield one-handed in her werewolf form or other large two-handed weapons. Between that and her natural weaponry, she can tear through ranks of common soldiers/enemies with efficiency. Whereas she can use a bow, she prefers more direct confrontation than anything ranged save for throwing her hammer at foes.
Being a werewolf, she has a few abilities that can be seen as either racial or magical. She possesses a moderate level of regeneration making common weapons not as effective against her as they would others. With proper observation of her opponent (actually taking time to watch them), she can strike a blow with her claws that will continue to bleed and sap her opponent of their strength until they take the time to bind the wound. With a similar amount of observation, she can strike barehanded at an opponent and knock them to the ground where they are stunned for several seconds, only able to defend themselves. She can howl with such a volume that it can knock anything flying out of the sky nearby. Flying machines, PCs, dragons or other very powerful flying beings may not always be affected, but they'll at least be irritated. Also, anyone standing directly before her at the time of the howl may end up stunned. This ability takes a lot of energy and cannot be used frequently. Taryn can also blend partly into the shadows around her and flank an opponent... or escape if necessary (this doesn't work if there aren't any shadows around).
But being a werewolf has its drawbacks. Damage from silver weapons doesn't regenerate nor does her regeneration function while in human form. She also suffers from occasional berserk rage when she's faced with what she perceives as a personal affront, flying into a violent rage where she has a hard time telling friend from foe. It never lasts long, but it is a great concern of hers. Note about the rage – personal insults/affronts done over the crystals will not provoke the rage. The source must be in her actual presence.
