Whilst infected with one strain of Lycanthropy, the character is considered immune to receiving other forms of the curse, automatically succeeding on their Constitution Saving Throw when cursed.Ībility Score Increase. Only one strain can infect a character at a time. There are five different strains of the Lycanthropy curse which a character can contract, each with their own varying traits as seen below. Creatures that are born as lycanthropes have racial traits of one parent's base race, and sub-racial traits of an associated lycanthrope. When a creature becomes cursed by lycanthropy, their subrace is replaced by one of the subraces listed below as decided by the type of lycanthrope that bit the victim, or if it had no subrace then they gain the traits of the corresponding lycanthrope. Most lycanthrope that embrace their bestial natures succumb to bloodlust, becoming evil, opportunistic creatures that prey on the weak. With time and experience, they learn to master their shapechanging ability and can assume beast form or hybrid form at will. Some individuals see little point in fighting the curse and accept what they are. Despite this inherent mastery, they too feel the pull of the beast within when the moon is fullest. A natural born lycanthrope can instinctively control the curse. Especially if the cursed creature is unaware of its condition, it might not remember the events of its transformation, though those memories often haunt a lycanthrope as bloody dreams. When the moon wanes, the beast within can be controlled once again. However, when the full moon rises, the curse becomes too strong to resist, transforming the individual into its beast form - or into a horrible hybrid form that combines animal and humanoid traits. It lives its life as it always has, burying deep the bestial urges raging inside it. By resisting the curse, a lycanthrope retains its normal alignment and personality while in humanoid form.

On close inspection, its eyes show a faint spark of unnatural intelligence and might glow red in the dark.Įvil lycanthropes hide among normal folk, emerging in animal form at night to spread terror and bloodshed, especially under a full moon. IN that animal form, a lycanthrope resembles a powerful version of a normal animal. Over time, however, many lycanthropes acquire features suggestive of their animal form. In its natural humanoid form, a creature cursed by lycanthropy appears as its normal self. One of the most ancient and feared of all curses, lycanthropy can transform the most civilized humanoid into a ravening beast.
