Lycanthropy is a curse that can afflict individuals granting them shapeshifting as well as new traits and abilities.
All Lycanthropes face a test every month when the moon is full and the beast inside is at its strongest. This is when those who fail to control it are stripped of their humanity and do whatever their nature guides.
You begin to learn to control the lycanthropic curse that now lives in your blood. As a bonus action, you can transform into your hybrid 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. This feature replaces the rules for Lycanthropy within the Monster’s Manual.
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks not made with silver weapons. You gain a +1 bonus to your AC and your unarmed strikes use a d6 for damage. The risk of being infected with Lycanthropy is decided by a saving throw against the creature’s infection DC. This is calculated by 8 + proficiency bonus + the Lycanthrope’s Constitution modifier.
