This determines whether the afflicted lycanthrope can voluntarily control his or her shape. Natural lycanthropes instead have the Improved Control Shape feat, which gives them full control over their shapeshifting abilities."Consider making "Resist Call" a trained-only cross class skill for everyone.  make it a pre-requisite for a Resistant Monk prestige class (for which the skill would be a class skill).  The PrC could have a class ability at lower levels similar to the Rogue's Slippery Mind that only pertains to check to resist the Call (and perhaps allows them to continue making another rest check every hour or so), and another ability at higher levels that allows to them to automatically resist the Call (or allows them Take 20 on it).</blockquote>
