[FONT="]"Tell me boy; did they say you'd be fine? Did they tell you lycanthropes can't turn you into one of their own? They were wrong! I've seen it with me own eyes. Men, changed into terrible beasts when the moon is full. They've lied to you boy; that's why they watch you closely now. That's why, even though they say you're fine, nobody wants you near their livestock. Heed this warning, and listen well. You have been given a curse of the most frightening sort; and the only true way to remove it now that it's taken hold is to pray forgiveness from whatever god you pray to and end your existence on this plane."
-Jeremy Wolfbane, to his own son after a werewolf attack
The Monster Manual states that lycanthropes are only born, never created. The information here intends to change that. Lycanthropy can be a dangerous affliction, caused by the bite of a werewolf, rat, or other lycanthrope. For a full experience, it is suggested that a character wishing to start play as a lycanthrope take the moon-burdened background and select the Lycanthrope Heritage bloodline feat. If a character wishes to become a lycanthrope later during the course of the game, it is suggested that the character have a run-in with said creatures prior to taking the feat. Of course, this is not mandatory, as the character may just "wander off" one night to investigate something and be attacked.
Moon-Burdened
Your friends, family, or town was attacked by a lycanthrope. When you stepped in to help, you were bitten and almost died. Soon after, you found yourself stairing off at the moon as it waxed. At its peak, the full moon was the only one to see you change into the terrible creature you've become. Do others know your terrible secret? Are you scarred or permanently changed physically by the transformation?
