I have had a think about playing a Half-Orc Barbarian that turns into a Werebear or Werewolf when it enters a rage or something like that. I wanted to know what other peoples thoughts on it were because honestly I think it sounds pretty awesome.
A very important thing to note with this multi-class:
Bloodlust. If you begin your turn with no more than half of your maximum hit points, you must succeed on a DC 8 Wisdom saving throw or move directly towards the nearest creature to you and use the Attack action against that creature. You can choose whether or not to use your Extra Attack feature for this frenzied attack. If there is more than one possible target, roll to randomly determine the target. You then regain control for the remainder of your turn.
If you are under an effect that prevents you from concentrating (like the barbarian’s Rage feature), you automatically fail this saving throw.
That said, my longest campaign has been a multi-classed Order of the Lycan/Barbarian. It works well if you're careful about mixing them, I'll usually use a rage OR transform, only ever using both when I'm separated from the group or going all-out on a big bad.

Have you checked out the Beast barbarian UA? That is exactly what you are talking about.
Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
Spells, Monsters, Subclasses, Races, Arcknight Class, Occultist Class, World, Enigmatic Esoterica forms
No, I have never heard of it.
Thanks.

Simple Druid/Barbarian multiclass will accomplish the same thing.
I was thinking Blood Hunter 3 Order of the Lycanthrope and then the majority of the levels would be in Barbarian.
