The creature's skin is hidden by lush fur, creamy white on  its belly, golden with black spots elsewhere. The jaguar priest presented here is a 5th-level human cleric, using the following base ability scores: Str 12, Dex 10, Con 13, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 8. The 8 HD ability advancement was placed in Wisdom.  COMBAT A werejaguar will try to ambush opponents, ideally from behind. They  mostly use their spears to make ranged attacks, favoring their claws and  fangs for melee. Werejaguars are secretive and prefer to kill in jaguar  form, since witnesses often mistake them for mundane animals. This  allows the lycanthrope to hide in human guise when hunters search for  the "man-eating jaguar". Werejaguars normally only fight in hybrid form  when they are confident about leaving no survivors or if their true  nature has already been exposed.  Alternate Form (Su): A jaguar priest can assume the form of a jaguar or a jaguar-humanoid hybrid. A jaguar priests' shapechanging ability goes through a 28 day cycle.  They   spend one week in humanoid form, one week as a hybrid, one week in   jaguar form, and one week again as a hybrid before repeating the cycle. Jaguar Empathy (Ex): Communicate with jaguars, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against jaguars.  Improved Grab (Ex):  To use this ability, a werejaguar in jaguar 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.  Pounce (Ex): If a werejaguar in jaguar form charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.  Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +11 melee, damage 1d3+2.Spells (Sp): The jaguar priest casts spells as a 5th level cleric with the Chaos and Charm domains. Typical Spells Prepared (5/4+1/3+1/2+1; save DC 14 + spell level, 15 + spell level for Enchantment or Necromancy spells), The save DCs are Wisdom-based;0 – detect magic, detect poison, guidance, read magic, resistance;1st – cure light wounds, divine favor, doom (DC16†), charm person*(DC16†), protection from law;2nd – shatter* (DC16), enthrall (DC17†), resist energy, spiritual weapon;3rd – bestow curse (DC18†), dispel magic, suggestion* (DC18†);* Domain spell.† Enchantment or Necromancy spell. Skills:  In jaguar or hybrid form, werejaguars have a +6 racial bonus on  Balance, Jump and Swim checks plus a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move  Silently checks. A werejaguar in jaguar or hybrid form has a +8 racial  bonus to Climb checks and it can always choose to take 10 on a Climb  check, even if rushed or threatened. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus of a werejaguar in jaguar or hybrid form improves to +8.</blockquote>
