Path of the Lycan

While most consider lycanthropy to be a curse, those that follow this path calls it a gift. Regardless of how a barbarian became one, they have embraced their abilities and will push the limits of their primal potential.

*The player must have contracted lycanthropy before taking this subclass. If the player is already of a different barbarian subclass and has contracted lycanthropy, it is up the the player to decide whether or not they wish to switch to this subclass.

The Beast Within

At 3rd level, when you rage, you automatically use the Shapechanger ability to transform into your hybrid form. Additionally, the DC required for your enemies to resist the lycanthropy curse from your Bite attack is 10 + your proficiency bonus. You also gain bonuses depending on the type of lycanthrope you are while raging. See the list below for these bonuses.

• Werebear increases your Constitution by 2
• Wereboar increases your Strength by 2
• Weretiger increases your Wisdom by 2
• Wererat increases your Dexterity by 2
• Werewolf increases your Strength or Dexterity by 2

Bestial Fury

At 6th level, while in hybrid/beast form, your Bite and Claw attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming magical resistance and after using the attack action, you can make a Claw attack as a bonus action

Alpha Predator

At 10th level, the natural musk produced by your bestial form can now be recognized by the beasts of the wild, making them hesitant to attack you. When a beast attacks you, it must first make a Wisdom saving throw against the DC equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target or the attack automatically misses. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you.

Taste for Blood

At 14th level, after making a successful Bite attack against a target and they fail the Constitution save for the lycanthropy curse, all of your attacks against them are at advantage and critical hits now apply to both 19 and 20.
