Hybrid Form

You can transform into a lycanthropic hybrid form (werewolf, wererat, etc.) as a bonus action on your turn. Each time you transform under the full moon, you must pass a DC15 Wisdom Check. On a failed result, you lose control of your transformation and attack the nearest creature, friend or foe, this lasts for 1 minute. While in this form:

• Natural Weapons: Gain natural attacks with claws, which deal 1d6 slashing or piercing damage (your choice).
• Increased Strength & Resilience: While transformed, gain advantage on Strength-based checks and saving throws.
• Savage Senses: Gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on hearing or smell.
• Lunar Vulnerability: Silvered weapons deal an extra 1d4 damage to you.
• Limited Casting: You cannot cast spells or maintain concentration while transformed.
• Reduced Speech: Your speech is limited to basic, guttural responses.
• Armor Fusion: Any armor worn either merges with your form or falls off if too large, at the GM's discretion. While not wearing armor or using a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity modifier.
• Weapon Use: You can use weapons and equipment normally unless otherwise specified.
• Feral Bite: When making the Attack action, you can replace one attack with an unarmed feral bite attack. If the bite hits, it deals 1d8 + Strength modifier piercing damage. You cannot make another bite attack until the start of your next turn. You can make a bite attack as a bonus action if you have not already used your bonus action and have made the Attack action.

Your hybrid form lasts for a number of hours equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). It ends early if you are knocked unconscious, reduced to 0 hit points, or choose to end it as an action while in control. The Awakening marks the beginning of your journey with lycanthropy, and as you gain further control, additional stages will grant you more power over the curse.
