## Description
Get ready to dive into the shadows of Tamriel with the 'Fur and Fang' expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. Here, the line between humanity and monstrosity is thin, and you must decide whether to embrace the curse or fight against it. The highlight is the introduction of the 'Afflicted' skill line, bringing two devastating ways to play: lycanthropy and vampirism.

If you love the idea of smashing everything in your path, the Werewolf path is your call. By transforming, you unleash a violent frenzy and absurd brute strength, dealing massive damage. But beware: fury comes at a cost. While in beast form, you lose access to other skill lines and suffer significant fatigue. It's the classic 'hit hard, but burn out fast' style.

Now, if you prefer sinister elegance and control, Vampirism is the way to go. Created by Molag Bal, this dark gift doesn't focus as much on raw damage, but rather on utility and manipulation. With abilities like Hypnosis and Mist Form, the vampire acts as a strategic support, manipulating the battlefield while struggling with an insatiable thirst for blood. It's the perfect choice for those who enjoy playing with the opponent's mind.

Whether you are a nocturnal predator or a wild beast, this expansion adds deep layers of character customization, forcing the group to coordinate who takes the aggressive tank role and who handles the support. The question remains: do you have the courage to grasp the power reaching out from the darkness, even if it costs you your soul?
