CR of classed weretiger

I am trying to get the CR of a weretiger with 10 levels of sorcerer.

According to the Monster Manual, a first lvl warrior/weretiger has a CR of 5.

According to the DMG a 10th lvl sorcerer should have a CR of 10.

According to the DMG, the CR adjustment for weretiger is.... +1 !?!

My best estimate changing from warrior 1/weretiger to sorcerer 10/weretiger would be CR5 - 1 +10 = 14.

(NB: a simmilar but smaller difference exists for the other lycanthrope types. CR 3 lycanthropes statted as +1 CR)

Also, the lycantrhope I created can not transmit it's lycanthropy. Should that change it's CR?

In the MM, under 'Creating a Lycanthrope' (near the end of that section, on page 177 - which is the section following 'Hill Giant Wereboar'), the subheading 'Challenge Ratings' tells you what you need to know.

So, for the Weretiger template f'rex, it's indeed +4 CR, yep.

hth.
 

i completely missed that section when scanning the creating lycanthropes section earlier...

strange that the errata never picked up on that difference.

any opinions on the not-transmittable lycanthropy CR adjustment?

Since transmitting lycanthropy doesn't really affect an encounter, it probably shouldn't affect CR. Dealing with transmitted lycanthropy could be an interesting place for story award XP, though.
