Any character who has contracted lycanthropy and is aware of their condition automatically gains Control Shape as a class skill (An afflicted lycanthrope not yet aware of his condition can attempt Control Shape checks untrained). This skill determines whether an afflicted lycanthrope can control their shape. A natural lycanthrope does not need this skill, since they have full control over their shape.
Check
Involuntary Change: An afflicted character must make a check at moonrise each night of the full moon to resist involuntarily assuming animal form. An injured character must also check for an involuntary change after accumulating enough damage to reduce their hit points by one-quarter and again after each additional one-quarter lost.
On a failed check, the character must remain in animal form until the next dawn, when they automatically returns to their base form. A character aware of their condition may make one attempt to return to humanoid form (see below), but if they fail, they remain in animal form until the next dawn.
Voluntary Change: In addition, an afflicted lycanthrope aware of their condition may attempt to use this skill voluntarily in order to change to animal form, assume hybrid form, or return to humanoid form, regardless of the state of the moon or whether they have been injured.
Try Again
Involuntary Change: Check to resist an involuntary change once each time a triggering event occurs.
Voluntary Change: A character can retry voluntary changes to animal form or hybrid form as often as they like. Each attempt is a
Standard Action. However, on a failed check to return to humanoid form, the character must remain in animal or hybrid form until the next dawn, when they automatically return to humanoid form.
Special
An afflicted lycanthrope cannot attempt a voluntary change until they become aware of its condition.
