How does lycanthropy work?

First Post
I am to create a 11th lvl half-orc. If I would like to create a were-bear/wolf/tiger/boar/etc, what maximum class lvl would he be? Is there other good templates to look at?

thanks

according to the DMG...(for a total of 11 levels)

a werewolf (ECL +3) half-orc would have 8 PC class levels

a werebear (ECL +4) half-orc would have 7 PC class levels

(the DMG doesn't list the -tiger or -boar)

with either the werebear or -wolf, you'd have to transform to gain any of the benefits of the template. with a template like half-celestial or half-fiend (both ECL +3), you would have the benefits all of the time. and each gain spell-like abilities as they increase in level (the half-celestial with 8 class levels would have remove disease, holy smite, cure serious wounds, neutralize poison, etc. and the possibility of having wings; the half-fiend would have poison, unholy blight, desecrate, darkness and natural claw and bite attacks)
 


DMG pg 22

and i've seen the half-dragon (ECL +3) in action, i don't think it's near as powerful as a half-celestial or -fiend
