Fighting Off Corruption (Lycanthropy)
Golarion's history is rife with both loathsome evil and the heroic forces that keep villainy in check. Whether you suffer from an ancestral curse that is only now manifesting, a terrible affliction you acquired on an adventure, or a similar malady, your body and soul now struggle against corruption. You may apply this boon at the end of a scenario, at which point you immediately gain it penalty. Once per scenario, you cant attempt to fulfill one of the associated tasks in any order, though the final task must be performed last. Once you have completed all the associated tasks, you have cleansed yourself of the corruption, no longer suffering its penalty, and gain the listed benefit.
A PC may only benefit from one Fighting Off Corruption boon.
Lycanthropy: Your blood courses with bestial power and feral rage.
Penalty: You take a -2 penalty on Intelligence- and Charisma-based skill checks. Weapons that overcome DR/Silver deal 1d4 additional damage to you.
Task (1x): Convince a named druid, shaman, or witch NPC in an adventure to aid you in a purification ceremony. Earning this NPC's cooperation requires a successful DC 18 Diplomacy or Knowledge (Nature) check. You may let another PC attempt this check for you, but the DC increases to 23.
Task (1x): Defeat a lycanthrope or creature with the Shapechanger subtype whose CR is Higher then your character level.
Final Task (1x): Consume a tincture of Wolfsbane (costs 50gp), and succeed at two consecutive DC 15 Fortitude saves.
Completion Benefit: You may automatically succeed at any saving throw to resist contracting lycanthropy. Against creatures with DR/Silver or the shapechanger subtype, you gain a +1 sacred bonus to your Armor Class and a +1 sacred bonus to saving throws. You can cross this boon off your chronicle sheet to permanently change your Hunter's Bond from a companions bond to an animal companion, or you can change your nature bond from a domain to an animal companion.
