Its wiry build and  sinewy muscles suggest a whiplash speed and athleticism. The being's  eyes are like a lion, but far brighter.Werelions in humanoid form possess wiry but muscular builds and are  heavily tanned. Werelions have thick,  tawny or yellow hair, although a  few werelions have black hair. Male  werelions traditionally grow their  hair long, like a lion's mane, which some werelions tie back or cover  with a turban. Females, or werelionesses, traditionally keep their hair  short when in human form, sometimes appearing almost shaved. Both sexes   usually dress like hunters in simple garments of skin and fur that are   easy to remove, repair, or replace.Werelions speak with deep and melodious voices; in lion form, they have a deeper roar than mundane lions.The werelion presented here is a 1st-level human warrior and natural lycanthrope, using the following base ability scores: Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 11, Cha 8.COMBATA werelion usually fights in lion form so it can use its pounce,  improved grab and rake special attacks. When fighting in hybrid form,  they favour their claws and fangs over weapons. Werelions try to ambush  opponents from behind, and will run away from a losing fight. If asked, a  werelion would probably insist such strategies are a matter of  sophisticated strategy rather than cowardice, since they are often proud  creatures with an exaggerated sense of their own dignity.Alternate Form (Su): A werelion can assume the form of a lion or a lion-humanoid hybrid.Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): Any humanoid or giant hit by a werelion’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.Pounce (Ex): If a werelion in animal form charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a werelion in animal form must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +9 melee, damage 1d4+3.Lion Empathy (Ex): Communicate with lions and dire lions, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against lions and dire lions.Skills: A werelion in animal or hybrid form has a +4 racial bonus on Balance, Hide, and Move Silently checks. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, this Hide bonus improves to +12.Skills BreakdownSkill Ranks: Balance 0, Handle Animal 3, Hide 1, Intimidate 3, Jump 2, Listen 2, Move Silently 3, Spot 2.Human:Balance 0 +0 Dex -1 armourHandle Animal 3* -1 ChaHide 1 +0 Dex -1 armourIntimidate 3* -1 ChaJump 2 +1 Str -1 armourListen 2 +0 Wis +2 AlertnessMove Silently 3 +0 Dex -1 armourSpot 2 +0 Wis +2 AlertnessSkills: Balance -1, Handle Animal +2*, Hide +0, Intimidate +2*, Jump +2, Listen +4, Move Silently +2, Spot +4 (includes -1 armor check penalty)Lion:Balance 0 +3 Dex +4RHandle Animal 3* -1 ChaHide 1* +3 Dex +4R -4 sizeIntimidate 3* -1 ChaJump 2 +6 Str +4 spdListen 2 +0 Wis +2 AlertnessMove Silently 3 +3 Dex +4RSpot 2 +0 Wis +2 AlertnessSkills: Balance +7, Handle Animal +2*, Hide +4*, Intimidate +2*,  Jump +12, Listen +4, Move Silently +10, Spot +4 Hybrid: Balance 0 +3 Dex +4R Handle Animal 3* -1 Cha Hide 1* +3 Dex +4R -4 size Intimidate 3* -1 Cha Jump 2 +6 Str Listen 2 +0 Wis +2 Alertness Move Silently 3 +3 Dex +4R Spot 2 +0 Wis +2 Alertness Skills: Balance +7, Handle Animal +2*, Hide +4*, Intimidate +2*,  Jump +8, Listen +4, Move Silently +10, Spot +4</blockquote>
