Cursed Feat (Prerequisite: You have been cursed or infected with lycanthropy.)
The Beast Within grants you monstrous strength but threatens to overtake your mind.
Hybrid Form. You can attempt to assume your Hybrid Form using your action. When you do, make a Charisma saving throw (DC = 10 + your character level, maximum 25). In a success, you transform into your Hybrid Form and retain full control. You may willingly transform again (or revert) without another save until the end of your next long rest or until a transformation trigger occurs. In a failure, you transform into your Hybrid Form and lose control, following the rules of Uncontrollable Urge. You may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns. When you succeed, you immediately revert to your humanoid form. A controlled Hybrid Form lasts a number of hours equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1), unless ended early by falling unconscious, dropping to 0 HP, or using an action to end it.
Hybrid Form Traits. While in your Hybrid Form:
- You can’t cast spells or concentrate on spells.
- If wearing no armor or shield, your AC = 10 + CON + DEX.
- Armor merges or falls to the ground (DM’s discretion).
- Your ability to speak is limited to short, guttural responses.
- You can use weapons and equipment normally if you are physically capable.
Uncontrollable Urge. Whenever you take a critical hit (DC 10 or half the damage), You start your turn at half or less of your max HP (DC 15) or You regain HP after being reduced to 0 HP (DC 20).
- Fail: On your next turn you must transform into your Hybrid Form (if not already), and while transformed you must move toward and attack the nearest creature each turn.
- Regaining control: Repeat the save at the end of each turn. A creature may also use an action to make a Charisma (Persuasion) check (DC 15) to let you repeat the save immediately.
- Success: You regain control and become immune to this feature for 1 minute.
Transformation Triggers. When one of the following occurs, you must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, you immediately transform into your Hybrid Form (no action required):
- Change (Irresistible). Full moon or similar supernatural phenomenon. You cannot resist this trigger. The transformation lasts 1d6 + 6 hours or until the phenomenon ends.
- Emotion. Overwhelming fear, rage, grief, betrayal, or mind-altering magic (DC 15). Failure causes a frenzy for 1d10 minutes or until calm emotions is used.
- Hunger. If you haven’t eaten enough for 4 days, at dawn make a Charisma save (DC = 10 + days since last full meal). Seeing or tasting blood may force additional saves.
