Order of the Cursed Soul

There are some who are monsters before they take the Hunters bane, before the blood tinctures used to warp their own bodies into taking on the power to wield blood rites and maledicts is done they already carry some if it within them. For these creatures the Hunters bane amplifies their powers cursing them with a deepening of the Bane and the complications that come with this act. 

Heightened Senses

Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to adopt the improved abilities of a natural predator. You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

The mutations also cause your eyes to become more that of the monsters you slay, you gain darkvision up to 60ft if you do not already have it and 120 ft if you do. 

Cursed Transformation

The Hunters Bane combines with the curse already within your blood, making you more of a monster than fellow members of your order putting you closer to the edge of being what you hunt. As a bonus action, you can transform into your Cursed form for up to 1 hour. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form earlier as a bonus action. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. 

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

In the Character Builder, set the option for Cursed Transformation to Cursed Form to activate the bonuses for that form on the character sheet.
