{"name":"Lycanthrope(Werewolf)","overview":"[b]Lycanthropy[\/b]\r\nLycanthropy is an ancient and feared curse, able to turn the most stalwart of men into slavering and savage beasts. They are rightfully feared by a lot of common folk and are able to tear creatures to pieces with their hands alone. Because of this, lycanthropes are a force to be reckoned with.\r\nHowever, not all lycanthropes are evil beasts enslaved to their vicious nature. Those who take their time to train themselves and focus their minds can unlock their bestial power and use it for their own desires. Able to shift into animalistic hybrids and shrug off wounds that would fell mortal men, lycanthropes that follow this path become the ultimate predators. Should their focus fail, grave peril will befall those around them.\r\n[b]Werewolf[\/b]\r\nA werewolf is a savage predator. In its humanoid form, a werewolf has heightened senses, a fiery temper, and a tenqency to eat rare meat. Its wolf form is a fearsome predator, but its hybrid form is more terrifying by far - a furred and well-muscled humanoid body topped by a ravening wolf's head. A werewolf can wield weapons in hybrid form, though it prefers to tear foes apart with its powerful claws and bite.\r\n\r\n[b]Multiclassing[\/b]\r\n\r\n[b]Prerequisites.[\/b] To qualify for multiclassing into the lycanthrope class, you must meet these prerequisites: Strength 13 or Dexterity 13, Lycanthropy curse.\r\n[b]Proficiencies.[\/b] When you multiclass into the lycanthrope class, you gain the following proficiencies: Light armour, simple weapons, martial weapons","hitdice":"d10","hitpointsfirstlevel":"10 + Con","hitpointsathigherlevels":"1d10 ( or 6 ) + Con","armorproficiencies":"Light armor, Medium armor","weaponproficiences":"Simple weapon, martial weapon","tools":"None","savingthrows":"Strenght, Constitution","skills":"Choose two from the following: Animal Handling, Athletics, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, Stealth, and Survival","equipment":"You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:\r\nany melee weapon or a shortbow and 20 arrows\r\nleather armor or hide armor\r\na dungeoneer\u2019s pack or an explorer\u2019s pack\r\na dagger","spellcasting":"","features":"[b]Hybrid Form[\/b]\r\nAt 1st level, you begin to control the lycanthropic curse that now flows through your blood. As an action, you can transform into your Hybrid form as determined by your Lycanthrope Origin feature. This form lasts for 10 minutes. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using an action on your turn. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 Hit Points, or die. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.\r\n\r\nWhile you are transformed, you gain the following benefits:\r\n\r\n[b]Feral Might[\/b]. You gain a bonus to melee damage rolls equal to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down. You also have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.\r\n\r\n[b]Resilient Hide[\/b]. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks that aren\u2019t silvered. While you are not wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.\r\n\r\n[b]Predatory Strikes[\/b]. Your unarmed strikes are considered a melee weapon. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes. When you use the Attack action to attack a creature with an unarmed strike, you can make another unarmed strike as a bonus action.\r\n\r\nYour unarmed strikes deal 1d4 slashing damage. The damage of your unarmed strikes increases as you gain lycanthrope levels, as shown in the Predatory Strikes column of the Lycanthrope Table.\r\n\r\n[b]Cursed Weakness[\/b]. Your have vulnerability to damage from silvered weapons.\r\n\r\n[b]Bloodlust[\/b]. At the start of your turn, if you\u2019ve taken damage since the start of your last turn, you must make a Wisdom saving throw to maintain control of your humanity. The DC equals 5, or 1\/4 of the total damage you\u2019ve taken from attacks since your last turn, whichever number is higher. On a failed save, you must move directly towards the nearest creature to you and use the Attack action against that creature. If there is more than one possible target, the DM chooses the target. You then regain control of your character for the remainder of your turn.\r\n\r\nIf you are under an effect that prevents you from concentrating (like the Barbarian\u2019s rage feature), you automatically fail this saving throw.\r\n\r\nThe benefits of this feature replace the rules for Lycanthropy within the Monster Manual.\r\n\r\n[b]Lycanthrope Origin Werewolf.[\/b]\r\n\r\n[b]Natural Armor[\/b]\r\nStarting at the 2nd Level, while you are not wearing any armor nor wielding a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.\r\n\r\nTotem Powers\r\nAt 2nd level, you gain a totem power of your choice. Your totem power options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain lycanthrope levels, you gain additional powers of your choice, as shown in the Totem Powers column of the Lycanthrope Table.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power that you could learn at that level.\r\n\r\nA level prerequisite in a totem power refers to lycanthrope level, not character level.\r\n\r\nHeightened Senses\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you begin to adopt the improved senses of a natural predator. You gain advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.\r\n\r\nAbility Score Improvement\r\nWhen you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.\r\n\r\nExtra Attack\r\nBeginning at 5th level you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\nStalker's Prowess\r\nAt 7th level, your speed increases by 10 feet. You also can add 10 feet to your long jump distance and 3 feet to your high jump distance. In addition, whilst in your hybrid or animal form your unarmed strikes and natural weapons are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.\r\n\r\nBleeding Slash\r\nBeginning at 9th level, you can tear deep into your enemies' flesh, leaving gaping wounds. When you make an unarmed strike in your hybrid form you can attempt a bleeding slash. On a hit the target takes the normal damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) or take 1d10 slashing damage at the start of their next turn. This increases to 2d10 at 13th level and 3d10 at 17th level.\r\n\r\nThis feature has no effect on inorganic creatures or objects. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Strength or Dexterity modifier (whichever is higher, minimum of 1). You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.\r\n\r\nAdvanced Hybrid Form\r\nStarting at 11th level, you learn to unleash and control more of the beast within you. You can now transform into your hybrid form as a bonus action, and your hybrid form now lasts for up to 30 minutes.\r\n\r\nIn addition, at the start of each of your turns, while you are in your hybrid or animal form and have no more than half of your Hit Points left, you regain hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + 1 (minimum of 1). You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 Hit Points or lower.\r\n\r\nIron Volition\r\nBeginning at 15th level, you\u2019ve honed your willpower to better resist the violent urges of your lycanthropic curse. Whenever you make a Wisdom saving throw to maintain control of your hybrid form, you do so with advantage.\r\n\r\nHybrid Form Mastery\r\nAt 20th level, you have wrestled with your inner predator and mastered it. You can now use your hybrid form feature three times instead of two, and your hybrid form now lasts for up to an hour.\r\n\r\nAdditionally when you roll initiative and have no uses of your Hybrid Form left, you regain one use.\r\n\r\n[b]Werewolf[\/b]\r\nA werewolf is a savage predator. In its humanoid form, a werewolf has heightened senses, a fiery temper, and a tenqency to eat rare meat. Its wolf form is a fearsome predator, but its hybrid form is more terrifying by far - a furred and well-muscled humanoid body topped by a ravening wolf's head. A werewolf can wield weapons in hybrid form, though it prefers to tear foes apart with its powerful claws and bite.\r\n\r\n[b]Wolf-Hybrid Form[\/b]\r\nWhen choosing this origin at 1st level your hybrid form takes the shape of a wolf-humanoid and you become proficient with your bite whilst in that form. As an action you may make a bite attack. It is a melee attack with a range of 5 feet and on a hit you deal 1d8 piercing damage. When using your bite attack, you add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\nA creature hit by your bite must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 10 + your Constitution modifier or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy.\r\n\r\n[b]Silent Tracker[\/b]\r\nAt 6th Level You gain the hunting sensibilities of a wolf.

You retain the benefits granted by the hybrid form feature. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying isn't transformed and you can't wear any armor unless it is made to fit your animal form. You have disadvantage when using equipment meant for humanoids and cannot cast spells that require material components while in this form.\r\n\r\nYour statistics other than your AC and size remain the same in your animal form. Your AC when in your animal form is 11 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier and your size becomes Medium.\r\n\r\nTransforming this way counts as a use of your hybrid form feature.\r\n\r\n[b]Pack Hunter[\/b]\r\nAt 14th level while you are in your hybrid or wolf form you have advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn\u2019t incapacitated.\r\n\r\n[b]Inspiring Howl[\/b]\r\nAt 18th level you can use your action to give a long and loud howl, inspiring your allies and terrifying your enemies.
