Tireless Hauler // Dire-Strain Brawler
Most transforming werewolves are a study in tradeoffs: a modest Human on the front, a hungrier predator on the back, the flip a bet that reaching night pays off. This one refuses that framing. Vigilance sits on both faces, and the transformation leaves its role in combat unchanged even as the face on the back keeps the same body. It attacks and blocks the same in daylight or dark. With the keyword nailed down, the flip stops being a payoff and becomes pure bookkeeping: a public marker of the game's day-night state. That state is the whole point. The Day/Night designator these keywords introduce exists to track a single shared clock for the entire table at once, and this is the version of the mechanic that leans hardest on it, deriving no benefit from the transformation itself and instead just advancing the schedule reliably alongside every other creature bound to it. It is werewolf design pared down to the clockwork that governs the pack rather than any individual member of it: no reward for reaching night, no penalty for losing it, just a steady flank whose only real function on either side is to keep the state track honest and legible while doing an honest job in combat.
