Because wererats typically dwell in metropolitan areas where they can hide in plain sight, practically any city-goer could be a wererat in disguise—from the quiet shopkeep to the city''s criminal mastermind. The bustle of crowds and countless rat-holes make ghettos and shantytowns favored homes for wererats, especially since in these poorer districts the wererat can kill out of greed or fear with little chance of the authorities noticing. In some cities, wererats operate entire thieves'' guilds or organized crime rings, and membership requires willfully submitting to the wererat''s cursed bite. Wererats look very similar to ratfolk when in hybrid form, apart from potential differences in size, but ratfolk have no love for these monsters. **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 16 **__Recall Knowledge - Humanoid__ (__Society__)**: DC 16' hp: 45 hp_misc: null items: - hand crossbow (20 bolts) - leather armor - shortsword languages: - Common - rat empathy level: 2 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6+4 type: piercing name: shortsword to_hit: 10 traits: - agile - finesse - versatile S - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6+2 type: slashing name: claw to_hit: 10 traits: - agile - finesse - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d8+2 type: piercing - formula: null type: curse of the wererat name: jaws to_hit: 10 traits: - finesse name: Wererat perception: 8 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6 type: piercing name: hand crossbow to_hit: 10 traits: - range increment 60 feet - reload 1 saves: fort: 6 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 10 ref_misc: null will: 8 will_misc: null sense_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: The wererat can communicate with rodents. effect: null failure: null frequency: null maximum_duration: null name: Rat Empathy range: null raw_description: '**Rat Empathy** (__divination__, __primal__) The wererat can communicate with rodents.' requirements: null saving_throw: null stages: null success: null traits: - divination - primal trigger: null senses: - low-light vision - scent (imprecise) 30 feet size: Medium skills: - bonus: 8 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 6 misc: +8 to Climb or Swim name: Athletics - bonus: 5 misc: null name: Deception - bonus: 4 misc: null name: Society - bonus: 8 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: '329' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 25 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - Beast - Human - Humanoid - Werecreature weaknesses: - amount: 5 misc: null type: silver
