Weretigers in [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] form tend to be sleekly muscular, taller than average, and very agile.  

===Combat===
Weretigers can assume a hybrid form as well as an [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] form. In [[SRD:Tiger|tiger]] form, they can [[SRD:Pounce|pounce]] and grab just as normal tigers do. In hybrid form, they rely on their deadly claws.

'''[[SRD:Alternate Form|Alternate Form]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A weretiger can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a tiger.

'''Curse of Lycanthropy ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] or [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] hit by a weretiger’s bite attack in [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or hybrid form must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or contract lycanthropy.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a weretiger in tiger form must hit with a claw or bite attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and can [[SRD:Rake|rake]].

'''[[SRD:Pounce|Pounce]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' If a weretiger in tiger form [[SRD:Charge|charges]] an opponent, it can make a full attack, including two [[SRD:Rake|rake]] attacks.

'''[[SRD:Rake|Rake]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Attack bonus +9 melee, damage 1d8+3.  

'''Tiger Empathy ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Communicate with [[SRD:Tiger|tigers]] and [[SRD:Dire Tiger|dire tigers]], and +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based checks against [[SRD:Tiger|tigers]] and [[SRD:Dire Tiger|dire tigers]].

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' In any form, weretigers have a +4 bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] bonus improves to +8 in the tiger form.

The weretiger presented here is a 1st-level human [[SRD:Warrior|warrior]] and natural lycanthrope, using the following base ability scores: [[SRD:Strength|Str]] 13, [[SRD:Dexterity|Dex]] 11, [[SRD:Constitution|Con]] 12, [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] 10, [[SRD:Wisdom|Wis]] 9, [[SRD:Charisma|Cha]] 8.
