Abilities & Attacks
Rat Empathy. The wererat can communicate with rodents. The werecreature can ask questions of, receive answers from, and use the Diplomacy skill with animals of its general kind. Nimble Dodge (reaction). Trigger A creature targets the wererat with an attack and the wererat can see the attacker; Effect The wererat gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. Change Shape (1 action) (concentrate, polymorph, primal). - Human - Melee fist +10 Damage 1d4+2 bludgeoning - Rat - Size small - Speed 30 feet, climb 10 feet The werecreature changes into its humanoid, hybrid, or animal shape. Each shape has a specific, persistent appearance. A true werecreature's natural form is its hybrid shape. In humanoid shape, the werecreature uses its original humanoid size, loses its jaws and claws Strikes, and gains a melee fist Strike that deals bludgeoning damage equal to the slashing damage dealt by its claw. In animal shape, its Speed and size change to that of the animal, it gains any special Strike effects of the animal that it didn't already have (such as Grab), and it loses its weapon Strikes. The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's transformation automatically defeats Perception DCs to determine whether the creature is a member of the ancestry or creature type into which it transformed, and it gains a +4 status bonus to its Deception DC to prevent others from seeing through its disguise. Change Shape abilities specify what shapes the monster can adopt. The monster doesn't gain any special abilities of the new shape, only its physical form. For example, in each shape, it replaces its normal Speeds and Strikes, and might potentially change its senses or size. Any changes are listed in its stat block. Curse of the Wererat (curse, primal). This curse affects only humanoids. Saving Throw DC 15 Fortitude save. On each full moon, the cursed creature must succeed at another Fortitude save or turn into the same kind of werecreature until dawn.

When a full moon appears in the night sky, the werecreature must enter hybrid form, can't Change Shape thereafter, becomes one size larger, increases its reach by 5 feet, and increases the damage of its jaws by 2. When the moon sets or the sun rises, the werecreature returns to humanoid form and is Fatigued for 2d4 hours. Sneak Attack. The wererat deals 1d6 extra precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
