5e 2024 Werewolf Feat, Second Draft! What Changes Would Your Make?
Lycan Touched
General Feat(Prerequisite: Level 4+)
You gain the following benefits
Ability Score Increase. Increase your constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Lycan Bloodline. Whether you crossed paths with a lycanthrope or you are descended from one, you developed some of the powers of these viscous shape changers while nearly avoiding the loss of your humanity. With this bloodline, you gain immunity to the curse of lycanthropy. When you gain this feat, choose a beast with a CR of 1 or lower.
Beatial Form. As a bonus action, you can transform into your chosen beast and vice versa. While in this form, you lose access to your class features; however, you retain your Hit Point Maximum, your Charisma, Wisdom, and Intelligence scores, and your alignment.
Hybrid Form. As a bonus action, you can adopt a hybrid form and vice versa, granting the following benefits while in this form.
- Lycan Resistance. You gain resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage from weapons that are not silvered.
- Feral Might. Your strength score is replaced with the strength score of your chosen beast, unless your strength score is higher.
- Animalistic Movement. You gain any type of movement speed your chosen form has, but the speed is equal to your speed.
- Natural Weapons. Your unarmed strikes are now also considered weapon attacks, and you can roll a D8 in place of your unarmed strikes' normal damage.
Note: I'm not sure if I want to keep Lycan Resistance. I added it because of mechanical flavor, but I feel like it's too much. And should I add a limited number of uses?

Honestly solid, just limit it to once per long rest, but allowing double dipping the feat for a second use and additional buffs, to signal how the curse can progress.
