Under lycanthrope, description of size and type states "The lycanthrope takes on the characteristics of one animal type (wolf, in this case) within 1 size category of the creature's size." which implies to me that though the base animal 'wolf' is medium in size, it can be one size larger, as in 'large'. As one of this prestige class's 'capstone' powers, I'd like to give a large size (as a dire wolf) in animal form and a large size hybrid form.Also afflicted lycanthropes have missing and differing powers to natural lycanthropes. While not granting all natural lycanthropic monster features, some of them will be granted at higher levels, with ' and 'Fast Change Shape' at 9th and 'Curse of Lycanthropy' at 10th. But limiting DR bonuses at the afflicted level, and progressively upward from 1 to 10, rather than already set at DR 5/silver as afflicted, or DR 10/silver as natural.Also bonuses to stats will start at only +1 and eventually reach werewolf form stat bonus, though will get the -2 CHR right off the bat.So this werewolf prestige class is bit more powerful than the Bestiary's afflicted lycanthrope, as it eventually gains the features of a natural lycanthropeLoup Garou (prestige class)Requirements: medium sized humanoid of at least 5th level of experience, and failed a Fort DC 15 to negate the bite of a pack master loup garou and conferred the curse of lycanthropy.HD: d10, BAB: Fighter, Saves: Good Fort, 2 + Int modifier for skills, bonus skills: climb, intimidate, perception.1st: Change Shape (as afflicted), DR 1/silver Low Light Vision, Lycanthropic Empathy, Power Attack as a bonus feat, +1 WIS, -2 CHR, Skill Focus: Perception; when in animal or hybrid form +1 STR and +1 CON 2nd: DR 2/silver, Scent, Cleave as a bonus feat3rd: DR 3/silver, +1 STR and +1 CON in animal or hybrid forms4th: DR 4/silver, Combat Reflexes as a bonus feat5th: DR 5/silver, Alignment Shift, +1 WIS, Reduced Recovery6th: DR 6/sliver, Improved Initiative as a bonus feat7th: DR 7/silver, Alignment Shift, +10 movement rate8th: DR 8/silver, Improved Cleave as a bonus feat9th: DR 9/sliver, Alignment Shift, Fast Change Shape10th: DR 10/silver, Pack Master, large size when in animal or hybrid forms.Change Shape (Su) - as per afflicted lycanthrope in Pathfinder Bestiary, Lycanthrope, page 196.Lycanthropic Empathy - as per Pathfinder Bestiary, Lycanthrope, page 196.Alignment Shift - from 1st through 4th level afflicted Loup Garou character retains her alignment while in humanoid form, though is Chaotic Evil in hybrid form and base animal form (wolf). At 5th the character's alignment shifts one space towards chaotic evil (lawful good shifts to neutral good or neutral good to neutral, for example). At 7th and 9th levels alignments occur once more, though may achieve chaotic evil alignment before the next shift which is the final alignment at 9th level.Reduced Recovery - if attempted to drink a dose of Wolfsbane to grant a new FORT save to recover from afflicted lycanthropy (Pathfinder Bestiary, Lycanthrope, page 196) gains a +5 penalty to save.Fast Change Shape - as per natural lycanthrope, change shape as a move action.Pack Master - a 10th level Loup Garou gains DR 10/silver, can confer Curse of Lycanthropy to those she bites and fail a Fort DC 15 (negates), and is considered a Dire Wolf as per Pathfinder Bestiary, page 278 when in animal form, or increased to large size in humanoid form gaining bonuses and 5 reach as enlarge spell. Pack master also gains the Change Shape modifiers as a natural lycanthrope as Pathfinder Bestiary, Lycanthrope, page 196. Once Pack Master is achieved, drinking a dose of wolfsbane nolonger grants a new FORT check to recover from lycanthropy.1st - 4th level is the best time to attempt to recover from lycanthropy, 5th to 9th a new FORT check can be granted with a penalty, however alignment shifts are permanent.Critiques and comments?GP</blockquote>
