The victim is subject to involuntary transformation as per the Lycanthropy As An Affliction section of the SRD Lycanthrope template, except that instead of temporarily assuming an animal form, the victim will permanently become a jagwere once they transform. This "cursed jagwere" has damage reduction 5/magic or darkwood and does not possess the Curse of Therianthropy special attack, but is otherwise identical to the "true jagwere" described above.I counterproposed something more like the polarwere given that jagweres are not real lycanthropes, as they're not shapechangers, therianthropes don't have a curse, and there's nothing to indicate that natural vs afflicted jagweres should have different DR.  I'm open to adding a line that afflicted jagweres can't pass the curse and a line specifying how remove curse/break enchantment can convert a victim back to normal:Curse of the Jagwere (Su): Any humanoid hit by a jagwere's bite attackmust succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or become a jagwere. Thehumanoid loses all abilities it possessed prior to transformationexcept for those due to levels in character classes but does retainany equipment it carried. The save DC is Constitution-based.Thoughts from anyone else?</blockquote>
