he fire warmed our backs as we turned outward toward the cold mist. Trails of it reached towards our feet like outstretched
claws.
This was the third night. The third, sleepless night under the bright moon. We had been warned that it was dangerous to
travel the road during the peak of the moon's cycle. We foolishly thought that we would pass unnoticed. We were wrong.
Instead, our small group had been watched- had been hunted- from the first night.
Wolves are one thing. If it had just been wolves, or bandits, I'm sure our group would have managed without much
trouble. But that first night, the moon rose high and bright... and full.
That is when we heard it...

 Racial Variant: Therianthropy
Racial Variants
Among the various mortal races there are individuals that are
changed in such a fundamental way that they can no longer
be categorized along with their kin. In some cases, this is
caused by disease or curse. A familiar example of this would
be therianthropy, or were-creatures. The most famous of
which would by the lycan or werewolf.
These individuals are often shunned in the best of cases
and hunted in the worst.
Making a Racial Variant
When using a racial variant, consider the following questions
as a starting point. Were they born with it? Did they come
across a magical item, or run afoul of deity? Do they attempt
to keep their true nature a secret, or do they dare anyone to
defy their existence? Have they accepted this fate, or do they
search for a cure? How has it impacted their life and
relationships?
A variant can be chosen at the beginning of a campaign or
can be the result of choices and events in the middle of one.
In either case, follow the guidelines below .
Changed Nature
To make a racial variant, first select your primary race (elf,
human, dwarf, etc.). Note this race's age, alignment, language,
size, speed, skill proficiencies, darkvision, and any damage
resistance. Also note other relevant details such as naming
and cultural background. These characteristics will carry
over to your variant. If the selected race possesses a physical
trait such as wings that allow flight, or a trunk that can carry
items, this may carry over also.
All other racial features are lost when using this variant.
For example: A Hill Dwarf would retain it's age, alignment,
size, speed, darkvision, Dwarven Combat Training, Tool
Proficiency, Stonecunning, and languages. They would lose
access to Dwarven Resilience and Dwarven Toughness.
Likewise, a Red Dragonborn would retain their age,
alignment, size, speed, fire resistance, and language, but
would look their Breath Weapon.
Therianthropy
One of the most ancient and feared of all curses,
therianthropy can transform the most civilized humanoid into
a ravening beast. In its natural humanoid form, a creature
cursed by therianthropy appears as its normal self. Over time,
however, many therianthropes acquire features suggestive of
their animal form. In that animal form, a therianthrope
resembles a powerful version of a normal animal. On close
inspection, its eyes show a faint spark of unnatural
intelligence and might glow red in the dark.
Evil therianthropes hide among normal folk, emerging in
animal form at night to spread terror and bloodshed,
especially under a full moon. Good therianthropes are
reclusive and uncomfortable around other civilized creatures,
often living alone in wilderness areas far from villages and
towns.

The Illusion of Control
On the surface, and in the light of day, you maintain some
semblance of control over the savagery beneath. You
maintain your alignment and personality while in your
human form and if you transform willingly.
If you spend more than 5 minutes in the light of the full
moon, or are under the effect of a spell or similar effect, you
must make a Wisdom saving throw (the DC is 16 - your
Constitution modifier). On a failed save, your alignment
changes to the alignment noted below for your form of
therianthropy in the Hybrid and Animal Forms section and
your DM chooses what form you take. On a success you
choose the form and retain your alignment.
At the beginning of subsequent turns that you are no longer
in the light of the full moon or under the effect of a spell, you
may remake your saving throw. On a success, you can choose
whether to change forms as an action or remain in your
current one. If your alignment had changed previously, it is
restored to your original alignment.
Once you have made this save, you can transform at any
time as an action as long as you have not spent another 5
minutes in the moonlight or come under the effects of a spell,
at which point you must make another Wisdom saving throw
or lose control again.
Loss of Control
Each stage of a therianthrope's transformation represents a
descent further from man and toward beast. As you change
from human to hybrid to animal form, your ability to use
various class features changes.
In human form, you can use all of your class features as
normal.
In hybrid form, you lose the ability to access any magical
ability or cast spells. This includes both divine and arcane
magics and ki abilities. Physical abilities, such as rage,
multiattack, and sneak attack are still accessible.
In animal form, you are not able to use any ability granted
by your class. You are unable to speak, and if you previously
had a trunk, wings, or other physical feature, you no longer
possess these unless the animal you transform into also
possess these features.
A Cursed Transformation
As a therianthrope, you have access to the primary racial
features regardless of which form you take (human, hybrid, or
animal). When you transform into your hybrid or animal
forms, the following rules apply:
You gain the additional features listed under the form you
are using.
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in
your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it.
Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides
whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of
equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your
equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new
form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear
must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment
that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the
form.
If you drop to 0 hit point, fall unconscious, or die, you
revert back to your human form. Your hit points are
shared between all forms and remain the same regardless
of transformation.

Note to the DM: Playing with a

Therianthrope
Your players may begin with the curse or come
into contact with it as they progress through your
campaign. These variants provided a way for the
curse to take a more substantial role in their story.
While a player cursed with therianthropy has a
degree of control over when and how they
transform, as the DM you also have the ability to
introduce scenarios in which the player might
transform against their will.
When this happens, their alignment may change.
Discuss with your player whether they will maintain
control of their character or if you will assume
temporary control in these cases.
Transformations happening at just the right
moment, or even just the wrong moment, can
prove to be impactful parts of a session or
campaign.

provoked, can be relentless. As humanoids,
they are stocky with thick, coarse hair. In their
humanoid and hybrid forms, they use
makeshift blades, while in hybrid or animal
form, they gain a devastating bite attack
through which their curse is spread. A

curse, but will not hesitate to do so if challenged.

form.

you can choose between your hybrid, badger, and true forms.

 Werebear
W
erebears are powerful therianthropes with the
ability to temper their monstrous natures and
reject their violent impulses. In humanoid
form, they are large, muscular, and covered in
hair matching the color of their ursine form's
fur. A werebear is a loner by nature, fearing
what might happen to innocent creatures
around it when its bestial nature takes over.
When a werebear transforms, it grows to enormous size,
lashing out with weapons or claws. It fights with the ferocity
of a bear, though even in its bestial forms, it avoids biting so
as to not pass on its curse. Typically, a werebear passes on its
therianthropy only to chosen companions or apprentices,
spending the time that follows helping the new therianthrope
accept the curse in order to control it.
Solitary creatures, werebears act as wardens over their
territory, protecting flora and fauna alike from humanoid or
monstrous intrusion. Though most werebears are of good
alignment, some are every bit as evil as other therianthropes.

In addition to your retained racial traits, you have the
following traits in common with all werebears.

size and AC, are the same in each form.

areas, building ramshackle huts or dwelling in caves. They
are suspicious of strangers but sometimes ally themselves
with orcs.

Werecrab
W

humanoids, they are of an average build and
size. In their hybrid forms, they often use
improvised weapons from fishing gear, while
in hybrid or animal form, they gain a powerful,

 Weredragon
W
eredragons are a varied and unique subset of
therianthropes. Also commonly referred to as
dragon-sickness. Weredragons are created by
encountering others afflicted by the condition
or, in rare cases, by spending a significant
amount of time near the remains of an ancient
dragon. While most other varieties of
therianthrope tend towards a single shift in alignment, such
as chaotic evil, weredragons exhibit the tendencies of the
dragon from which their ailment originates. In their hybrid
forms, weredragons are often mistaken for dragonborn,
though anyone familiar with the race has little trouble
distinguishing the two.
Most commonly, weredragons are found among dragon
cultists or in remote, isolated communities.

Wererabbit
W
ererabbits are good-natured, eccentric, cheese-
loving neighbors. As humanoids, they are
unassuming and unrecognizable from others
of their race. In their humanoid and hybrid
forms, they use weapons of their own making,
while in hybrid or animal form, they gain a
devastating bite attack through which their
curse is spread. A wererabbit rarely seeks to infects other
creatures, and when in their humanoid form, they most
actively seek a cure.
Wererabbits live quiet, comfortable lives with plenty of
cheese and crackers, and often with a single companion such
as a loyal dog. In most cases, they try to avoid vegitable
competitions.

 Wererat
W
ererats are cunning therianthropes with sly,
avaricious personalities. They are wiry and
twitchy in humanoid form, with thin hair and
darting eyes. In their humanoid and hybrid
forms, wererats prefer light weapons and use
ambush tactics rather than fighting as a pack.
Although a wererat can deliver a nasty bite in
its rat form, it favors that form for stealthy infiltration and
escape rather than combat.
A wererat clan operates much like a thieves' guild, with
wererats transmitting their curse only to creatures they want
to induct into the clan. Wererats that are accidentally cursed
or break loose from the clan's control are quickly hunted
down and killed.
Wererat clans are found throughout urban civilization,
often dwelling in cellars and catacombs. These creatures are
common in the sewers beneath major cities, viewing those
subterranean areas as their hunting grounds. Rats and giant
rats are commonly found living among wererats.

A
werewolf is a savage predator. In its humanoid

temper, and a tendency 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.
Most werewolves flee civilized lands not long after
becoming afflicted. Those that reject the curse fear what will
happen if they remain among their friends and family. Those
that embrace the curse fear discovery and the consequences
of their murderous acts. In the wild, werewolves form packs
that also include wolves and dire wolves.
