Lycanthropy
Lycanthropy, the Supernatural Ability of being able to morph into a kind of animal at will or when certain conditions are met. It is a double edged sword of a condition, but the perks can outweigh the benefits if you're smart enough.

*Transformation: Most Lycanthropes transform at a certain phase of the moon, most commonly the Full Moon. However the more skilled and trained you are you become better able to control it. Depending on your Rank in Lycanthropy you gain different ways to transform. When you are untrained you can only transform during your Lunar Cycle. With 1 Rank you may force a transformation for 5 Rounds of Combat, giving you the bonuses inherent to your Way. After this 5 rounds however you must make a Sanity Check to avoid going on a Rampage for 2 Rounds. During a Rampage you loose your sense of self and settle into a much more bestial state. The DC will vary depending on the situation. More chaotic situation will have a higher DC while relative calm will have a lower DC. With 2 Ranks you no longer have to worry about making a check to Rampage. At 3 Ranks you gain the ability to stay transformed for long periods of time, but each 10 minutes you stay transformed you must make a Sanity check to avoid a Rampage, with an additional check every 2 Rounds to regain control and end the transformation. This DC increases the longer you stay transformed and decreases every time you fail to regain control.

In addition you gain 1 Bonus Die when rolling Perception in any situation, and when rolling Survival for the purposes of Tracking as long as you are in your Lycanthrope Form.
