I'm building a Lycanthropy (Werewolf) feat for private use based on the "Player Characters as Lycanthropes" sidebar in the Monster Manual under the Lycanthropes entry. Most of this has gone well, but I'm not sure how to indicate that some bonuses only apply when shapeshifted. The most relevant one is the +1 to Armor Class, since I can't find a way to indicate it only happens on an action; therefore, it looks on the character sheet as they have a permanent +1 to AC (which isn't correct).

Any pointers on how I can address this?
There isn't a way to indicate a temporary effect (mage armor for example).
You can make a homebrew item with the bonuses of being transformed and have them equip that when they do. Closest thing at the moment.
