Vicar, the name of a shifter or Lycanthrope who has undergone a metamorphosis of sorts, against their will
Vicar are shifters or Lycanthrope who have been unwillingly forced to transform for great periods of time, through, magic, stress, desperation or corruption it is most would consider a terrible and painful process.

Vicar are unable to transform into their humanoid forms after Vicarvication completes.

The process is slow and painful, a sure fire sign that the process hast started is when the afflicted can no longer transform at will or Transforms against there will, slowly their body over (1d10) days grows and changes into the form they will be stuck in. the slow transformation is Painful and renders the unfortunate soul incapacitated during the ordeal.

Once the process is complete the Vicar now inherits all the abilities it gets from transforming as well as a few more (See bellow)

Borne to parents suffering the werewolf's curse, it has latched onto Ravi's very soul making it apart of her very being and so incurable.
Most born this way are taught to embrace and control it, But being abandoned Ravi never had the chance to.

The following are applied to your character.

  • Cursed

  • Weakness
    • You have a natural weakness to silvered weapons and radiant damage.

Curse Level 1

Transformation Boon: Hybrid Transformation
As an action, you may transform into a monstrous hybrid: half-beast, half-sentient. While in your hybrid form, the following rules apply:

  • You can’t cast spells or concentrate on spells. Your ability to speak is reduced to short, basic, guttural responses.
  • Your stats remain the same as your humanoid stats.
  • Any armor you are wearing if not able to accommodate your new form breaks and falls to the ground.
  • While transformed and not wearing any armour or using a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity modifier.
  • While transformed you can use weapons and equipment as normal, unless specified elsewhere.
  • You roll a d6 in place of the normal damage for your unarmed strikes. Attacks using your claws deal slashing damage instead of bludgeoning damage.
  • When making the attack action you may substitute one attack to make an unarmed bite attack. If the attack hits, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier. If you make a bite attack, you cannot make another until the beginning of your next turn.
  • If you made the attack action, as a bonus action you may make an unarmed claw attack or bite attack, provided you have not already used your bonus action. Your hybrid form lasts for a number of hours equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) and ends early if you are knocked unconscious or reduced to 0 hit points. You can end your Hybrid Form by using an action on your turn.

Transformation Boon: Shapechanger’s Form
Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.
You become a Shapechanger in addition to any other creature types you are. Spells and abilities that affect Shapechangers of a specific CR have no effect on you.

Transformation Flaw: Lust for the Hunt
The savage nature of your curse sometimes causes you to lose control. These ferocious tendencies are a constant struggle between you as a humanoid and the beast within. When you are in your hybrid form, you must succeed at a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the beginning of each turn or lose control. If you are in the light of a full moon, you automatically fail this saving throw. If you fail this saving throw, you are subjected to the following until you succeed:

  • You must move toward the closest nonplayer creature you can see, smell or hear, prioritising helpless creatures. If you end your movement and no non-player creature is within 5 feet of you, then you must use your action to dash toward one.
  • If there is a non-player creature within 5 feet of you and you have not used your action, you must make a melee attack against it, prioritising helpless creatures.
  • If you made a melee attack against a creature, and that creature is still alive, then you must use your bonus action to make an unarmed claw or bite attack against the same creature.
    Additionally, if you are subjected to the light of a full moon you must succeed at a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or automatically turn into your hybrid form and cannot transform back until dawn. If you succeed in this saving throw, you are immune to its effects for 24 hours.

Level 2

Starting at 2nd level, you can pick one of the following Transformation Boons. You also gain this level’s Transformation Flaw.

Transformation Boon: Kindred Form
You gain the ability to transform into the animal form representative of your Lycanthropy type, known as your Kindred Form. You follow the same rules as the Hybrid Transformation feature and any feature that specifies the hybrid transformation, unless specified otherwise. You can only transform into the kindred form representative of your Lycanthropy. Each Kindred Form gains the following rules:

  • You cannot speak.
  • You cannot take any actions requiring hands, except your Transformation capabilities.
  • You can only use unarmed claw and bite attacks.
  • You automatically succeed at all saving throws relating to the Lust for the Hunt flaw.

Other than being larger, you are indistinguishable from a regular animal of your Kindred Form

Kindred Form - Wolf
Your kindred form takes the shape of a ferocious dire wolf. While in your kindred form, you gain the additional features:

  • You can speak to and understand other wolves.
  • When making an attack against a creature, if an ally is within 5 feet of that creature and not incapacitated, you have advantage on that attack roll.
  • Your speed increases by 20 feet

There is a way to cure Vicar-vifcation it is a long process that can take several months or even years, the basics of it that the Vicar must regain control of their body and soul. more importantly they must be far removed from whatever situation has cased them to become a Vica in the first place.
The process involves coming to terms with the Trauma that caused the Vica and the Trauma of the transformation itself.

A calm environment with small social interactions. if kept in a stress free environment for long enough most Vicar will simply revert back to their normal selves, this will not cure any lycanthrope curse but it may help those master it once the process is complete.
