Primal Path: Path of the Werebeast

The curse of lycanthropy can be a boon to those who embrace the power it provides. Barbarians that are used to the altered mental state of their rage often have less difficulty with controlling the curse and its corrupting influences on their behavior, but no one can easily tame their inner were-beast once it is unleashed.

Some were-beast barbarians are actual lycanthropes, bitten by another lycanthrope or corrupted by dark magic, like a cursed fur belt. Other were-beasts are the heir to a unique generational curse that transforms them, passed down from the hapless ancestor who earned the wrath of a hag, fiend, or god.

Bestial Bond

3rd-level Path of the Werebeast feature

Your lycanthropic connection with the form of a beast grants you the special abilities of that beast. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet, or if you already have darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet, up to a maximum range of 150 feet.

In addition, you choose one of the following options for your bond: ape, bear, boar, cobra, crocodile, kraken, owl, rat, shark, spider, tiger, turtle, or wolf. You gain a trait based on your choice.

Ape, Bear, Boar, Eagle, Owl, Shark, or Wolf: Hunter Senses Cobra, Crocodile, Kraken, Rat, Spider, Tiger, or Turtle: Lurker Instincts

Hunter Senses. You gain proficiency in your choice of Perception or Survival. Also, you can memorize a creature's scent by sniffing it for 1 minute, and you have advantage on ability checks made to track, perceive, or recognize any creature whose scent you've memorized.

Lurker Instincts. You gain proficiency in your choice of Sleight of Hand or Stealth. Also, you never have to slow your travel pace to move stealthily, and you can always watch for danger while traveling, even when you are performing an activity.

Were-Beast Form

3rd-level Path of the Werebeast feature

You gain the ability to take the form of a powerful humanoid monster with bestial features.

As a bonus action, or as part of the bonus action you use to enter your rage, you can transform into a were-beast form. In this form, your bite is a natural weapon which deals 1d8 + Strength modifier piercing damage, and you count as a beast in addition to your normal type or types. While you are not wearing heavy armor in this form, you also gain a +1 bonus to AC and to the damage rolls of your weapon attacks that use Strength. (Your bite does not transfer the curse of lycanthropy unless you are in fact cursed with that affliction.)

While you're transformed using this feature, you also gain special traits determined by your choice for your Bestial Bond feature. The following list describes the benefits for each choice. If the description mentions a saving throw, the DC for that saving throw is 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Ape. You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and your jumping distance is doubled. You have advantage on Strength checks, and when you enter your rage, you gain temporary hit points equal to your barbarian level + your Strength modifier (minimum of one temporary hit point) that disappear when your rage ends.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend one usage of your rage to use this feature again.

Feral Shape

6th-level Path of the Werebeast feature

You gain the ability to complete your bestial transformation. You can use an action on your turn to transform into a full beast based on your choice of were-beast. This transformation follows all the same rules as the druid's Wild Shape class feature, except for what is stated differently in this feature.

You can transform into only one creature and no others, which is based on your choice for your Bestial Bond feature, as shown in the table below:

Bond	Beast Form
Ape	Ape
Bear	Brown Bear
Boar	Giant Boar
Cobra	Giant Poisonous Snake
Crocodile	Crocodile
Eagle	Giant Eagle
Kraken	Giant Octopus
Owl	Giant Owl
Rat	Giant Badger
Shark	Hunter Shark
Spider	Giant Spider
Tiger	Tiger
Turtle	Giant Snapping Turtle
Wolf	Wolf

While transformed, your statistics for your hit points, AC, and ability scores remain unchanged, and you keep any special senses your normal form possesses. Instead of the beast's normal size, you choose to be either Large or Medium when you transform. If you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check, you use the beast's Dexterity score for the check instead of your own. You also benefit from the special traits for your bond's Were-Beast Form, but not the bonus to AC or damage rolls.

The transformation lasts for up to 1 hour, until you are reduced to 0 hit points, or until you choose to end it as an action. When the transformation ends, you resume whatever form you were in when it began.

Once you transform, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. The number of uses per long rest increases to two at 10th leveL and the uses become unlimited at 20th level

In addition, your natural weapons in your Were-Beast Form and your Feral Shape form count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance or immunity.

Lunar Resolve

10th-level Path of the Werebeast feature

While you are in your Were-Beast Form or your Feral Shape transformation, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, or having your emotions changed by magic, and you are immune to any effect that can only target beasts unless you choose to be affected.

In addition, when you use your Were-Beast Form or Feral Shape feature, you can regain hit points equal to twice your barbarian level. Once you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

def level10(npc):
    npc.traits.append(f"***Lunar Resolve (Recharges on long rest).*** When you use your Were-Beast Form or Feral Shape feature, you can regain {npc.levels('Barbarian') * 2} hit points.")

Second Skin

14th-level Path of the Werebeast feature

You start to feel more at home in your werebeast form than your true form. You might feel that this lycanthropic form, rather than the form you were born in, is what you were always meant to be.

While you are in your Were-Beast Form, the AC granted by your Unarmored Defense feature increases by 1, and you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks that are not using silvered weapons. While you are raging, any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage that you take from such attacks is reduced by an amount equal to half your proficiency bonus and can't reduce your hit points below half of your hit point maximum.

Also, regardless of your form, you have advantage on saving throws against curses, diseases, and effects that would reveal your true form against your will.

def level14(npc):
    npc.defer(lambda npc: npc.traits.append(f"***Second Skin.*** While you are raging, any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage that you take from such attacks is reduced by {npc.proficiencybonus() // 2} and can't reduce your hit points below half of your hit point maximum.
