A rare variant of common lycanthropy that curses the subject not in relation to the moon, but rather the weather itself. Subjects inflicted with this curse are most at home beneath a heavy gale, regardless of time, and can only transform under a storm that includes three of the following; rain, hail, sleet, lightning/thunder, heavy winds, and/or total cloud cover. Blizzards, for example, would rarely count, as snow is not part of the curse.
Disadvantages
You have disadvantage on sleight of hand checks, are unable to use weapons and shields, and your wisdom score drops by 3.
Many people are, understandably, quite nervous around a werewolf, even the more coherent storm lycans. Conversation events will be more difficult to proceed through, and at the discretion of the DM, some more ignorant villagers and peasantry might assume the worst. Be prepared for the consequences of transforming in the middle of a village.

Most commonly seen in relation to the pirate ship Morvossa, storm lycanthropes can be a variety of animal bases, with the exception of weresharks, who are constantly battling this incursion in to what is otherwise some of their prime territory. This includes weretigers, werebears, and of course, the werewolf.
**Not intended for public use, this feat was designed for a very unique campaign and was the easiest method of adding certain abilities after particular events. Use outside of said campaign is unadvised.**
