Werewolf W20 character creator online

Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary uses classic Garou creation; breed, auspice, tribe, gifts, and renown on nine-trait sheets. Darkness Weaver's W20 wizard supports that flow for tables running oWoD Werewolf chronicles.

Classic Garou with tribe, auspice, gift pools, and PDF export for pack play.

Lore and chronicle tone

Gaia's war in W20

W20 Garou fight the Wyrm through sept politics, umbral quests, and pack bonds older than the city skyline. Tribes carry distinct enemies and sacred duties: Wendigo, Stargazers, and others appear on W20 lists that differ from V5. Chronicle tone blends eco-horror, myth, and found-family rage.

Breed, auspice, and pack

Breed marks whether you were born human, wolf, or metis; auspice marks the moon of your birth. Together with tribe they define gift access and social role. Packs are everything: record pack ties and territorial claims on the sheet for Storyteller hooks.

Rules and creation flow

W20 Garou creation

The wizard guides attributes, abilities, breed, auspice, tribe, gifts, backgrounds, and renown fields in W20 order. Validation helps keep starting gifts and stats within expected limits.

Gifts, renown, and PDF

Gifts and renown trackers appear on the dossier. PDF export follows W20 sheet layout: re-export after renown awards or new gifts.
